Notes
Makoto Matsushita's solo debut studio album was originally released under RVC's Air Records label in 1981. The album was re-released a year later under the Moon Records label, with some slightly re-mixed tracks and an English version of "September Rain."
All currently existing CD versions (as well as every vinyl reissue succeeding 1981) use the 1982 mix, with the exception of the 1981 version of "September Rain" being included as a bonus track on some versions.

Beautiful reissue, sounds amazing even though I can’t compare with previous releases. -

Good stuff here but how does the Prog Rock style fit the music? Just sounds like City Pop AOR Fusion to me... -
Edited 11 months agoreferencing First Light (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Clear Vinyl) WQJL-177
This is one of the best City Pop albums ever recorded and this pressing is glorious.
Clear separation, great soundstage, full sound (that “embraces you” without hurting your ears), dead-quiet vinyl.
Perfect to listen to when watching a sunset while reminiscing about what life could have been… but no matter what your regrets are, at least we have this album! -

this has to be the best-sounding clear record I own, FLOORED. -

Just got mine today, I have no complaints with my copy. Sounds great and has ZERO surface noise. -

What a phenomenal pressing! This is how reissues should be done. The spacing out over 2 LPs at 45RPM, plus the excellent remaster makes for an incredible vinyl-listening experience. I really wish all reissues were as good as this one!

Excited to see the reviews for this, since I have yet to receive my copy :) -
I had original promo copy, but this is very competitive pressing. recommend. under 100 -

Very nice pressing. could be worth to original. still not so expensive per 1LP, everybody should have this.
