Hiroshi Sato's TIME is his second album, recorded in 1977 with one of the most impressive ensembles in Japanese city pop history: Haruomi Hosono, Shuichi "Ponta" Murakami, Pecker, and a full cast of session legends. The album moves effortlessly between mellow sophistication and outright funk, from the gentle "Saigo no Tejina" (featuring vocalist Nanako Sato) to the groove-driven "Bad Junky Blues." This pressing is on Clear Deep Blue vinyl, catalog LX-7009, originally released January 25, 1977.
