For Fans Of
Released in 1981 on Kitty Records, The Rainbow Goblins is guitarist Masayoshi Takanaka's ninth album and a jazz-fusion landmark — a full concept album inspired by Ul de Rico's picture book of the same name, with short narrations carrying you through the story. Bright, virtuosic, and endlessly melodic, it was performed live in full at Nippon Budokan on its release day. A touchstone of Japanese fusion and city pop that's found a huge new audience online. Pressed on clear purple vinyl — a stunning pickup for any collection.
