Ryuichi Sakamoto remasters (with bonus tracks)

[humanracer]

This should interest fans of YMO. Ryuichi Sakamoto's Midi era (early to mid 80s) albums are being released in "remstered" versions most of which have, and this is surprising for YMO related remasters, bonus tracks!

Interesting! I wonder, are the liner notes in Japanese or English?

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence isn't being reissued as that came out 2 years ago and £21 is far too expensive for my liking.

I bought The Arrangement SHM-CD because of Robin Scott's involvement and it sounds stunning, much better than the Dutch CD I had of Left Handed Dream.

Had no idea about these. Many thanks.

But ordering via cdjapan? Is this 1995?

I ordered the Merry Xmas CD "elsewhere" and received it in 2 days. Not interested in the others.
