It caught him right at the start of his run as Japan's biggest guitar star: bright, sun-soaked fusion built on funk rhythms, Latin percussion and his singing guitar lines. \"EARLY BIRD\" became a live staple, still played at his Budokan shows a year later, and the album has since become one of the most-loved entry points for listeners discovering Takanaka through the city pop and Japanese fusion revival. This 2025 remaster series gave three of his key albums new Abbey Road masters and color vinyl editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEARLY BIRD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWILD MOW-MOW\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMAMBO No.6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCRYSTAL MEMORIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMY SECRET BEACH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e空ド白ソ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePALM STREET\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLe Premier Mars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eRelease details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMasayoshi Takanaka (高中正義)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal Music Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog No.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPJY-9522\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4988031775783\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\" LP, 180g, clear orange vinyl, limited pressing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMastering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemastered and cut by Alex Wharton, Abbey Road Studios, from the original master tapes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan (import)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2025 remaster edition (original album: June 1, 1980)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz-Fusion, City Pop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003eHear \"EARLY BIRD\" live: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stokyoworld.com\/products\/masayoshi-takanaka-rainbow-goblins-story-live-budokan-1981-3lp\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRainbow Goblins Story Live at Budokan 1981\u003c\/em\u003e (3LP)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from STOKYO\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTOKYO is run by DJs and vinyl heads, and we've been importing Japanese records and analog gear since 2004.
