Japan - Quiet Life (Vinyl)

Description

That Japan’s breakthrough record Quiet Life was released in both 1979 and 1980 is uniquely fitting for a band who were about to step out of the glam rock, post punk shadows of the late 70s and deliver an as yet genre-less record that would come to define the 80s. Quiet Life was the third, final and most successful release on the Hansa Records label. A forerunner for the alternative/new wave sound of the new decade, the album would become one of the great classic British albums. The record is now the subject of a major new reissue featuring a brand new half-speed remaster of the original album (this version), alt mixes, b-sides, singles, rarities and live material (on box set version)Reissued half-speed remastered on 180gsm heavyweight black vinyl, supplied with double-sided gatefold liner notes, titled 'EUROPEAN SON RISING' by Anthony Reynolds.
