Share
If you're wondering why so many collectors are after Japanese vinyl, here's a quick and simple breakdown. Sound quality, clean design, and that unmistakable feel—this is why it matters.
🔊 Quiet Grooves, Clean Sound
Most Japanese records from the 70s–80s were pressed using virgin vinyl.
Unlike many Western pressings, they didn’t use recycled material.
🎵 Surface noise is minimal.
🎵 Bass is deeper and warmer.
🎵 The overall sound stays sharp even after decades.
🎚 Local Mastering = Better Detail
Japanese jazz, fusion, and city pop often went through local mastering.
This gave them a smoother, richer finish that still feels good today.
🎧 Even small details sound more alive.
🎧 Nothing harsh—just easy listening with depth.
🟦 What’s the Deal with Obi Strips?
Obi = that paper strip on the side of Japanese LPs.
It's simple, but it says a lot.
đź“€ It proves it's a true Japanese pressing.
đź“€ It adds unique style to the jacket.
đź“€ Some collectors consider it essential.
We’re not obsessed—but we like them.
