Junko Ohashi – Magical (1984, Philips 28PL-79, Japan Original, Rental Copy) A top shelf grail of Japanese city pop. This is the original 1984 Philips pressing, featuring the skyline jacket with the Twin Towers and full Japanese liner insert. The レンタルレコード (“rental record”) stickered version shown here is a seldom seen artifact of Japan’s rental shop era almost never found this clean. An essential piece of the Junko Ohashi trilogy and a cornerstone of a serious city pop collection.
