마츠리바야시가 들려 (오리지널 사운드트랙)

Pulled this record out of the sleeve and the vinyl was perfectly flat with no warps—the audio is crisp and warm, just how you’d hope a 1977 soundtrack would sound.

I was a bit worried about surface noise on a 1977 soundtrack, but the pressing is dead quiet and the dynamic range on Kenichi Hagiwara's vocals really shines through. It’s like stepping back into that era every time I drop the needle.

The vinyl captures that warm, nostalgic 70s TV drama vibe perfectly, and the pressing itself is nicely quiet between tracks. I just wish the jacket included more liner notes about the recording sessions, since the music alone makes me want more context. It's a lovely piece for any fan of classic Jap
