V.S.O.P. The Quintet
Five Stars
CBS/Sony – 30AP 1036

1979 Japanese Original Pressing (Stereo) NM/VG+

A Direct-to-Disc Acoustic Jazz Masterpiece. 🎺🎹

Recorded live in the studio on July 29, 1979, Five Stars captures an acoustic jazz supergroup at the absolute peak of their powers. V.S.O.P. The Quintet was essentially the legendary mid-60s Miles Davis Quintet, but with the powerhouse Freddie Hubbard stepping into the trumpet role. Side A opens with Hubbard's sprawling, energetic original "Skagly" before transitioning into Herbie Hancock's beautifully complex "Finger Painting". What makes this specific CBS/Sony release a true holy grail for audiophiles is its "Master Sound Direct Disk" recording process—the music was cut directly to the master lacquer exactly as they played it, capturing a breathtaking, unedited level of fidelity, dynamics, and raw studio presence.

About the Artists:

V.S.O.P. initially stood for "Very Special Onetime Performance," though their undeniable chemistry led to several massive tours and albums. Featuring Herbie Hancock (piano), Wayne Shorter (saxophones), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums), this quintet single-handedly spearheaded the late-70s acoustic jazz revival. In an era dominated by electric fusion and disco, they proved that swinging, high-wire acoustic post-bop still possessed incredible fire and relevance.

1983 Japanese Original Pressing (Stereo) NM/VG

Smooth, Smoky 80s City Pop and R&B. 🚬🌃

Released in 1983, Husky perfectly captures the sophisticated, neon-lit sound of Japan's bubble era. Side A opens with the reggae-tinged "レゲエであの娘を寝かせたら" before sliding into the ultra-smooth, urban groove of "City Junction." Featuring stellar arrangements and writing contributions from City Pop heavyweights like Tetsuji Hayashi (林哲司) and Akira Inoue (井上鑑), the production is flawlessly crisp. Ueda's signature raspy, soulful vocals glide effortlessly over slick synths and tight rhythm sections. This original CBS/Sony pressing delivers the pristine, high-fidelity sound quality that the 80s demanded.

About the Artist:

Masaki Ueda (上田正樹) is a legendary figure in Japanese R&B and soul. Coming up in the Kansai blues and soul scene of the 1970s, his distinctively husky, emotive voice set him apart from traditional pop singers. By the 1980s, he seamlessly transitioned into the slicker City Pop and AOR sounds of the decade, bringing a raw, authentic soulfulness to highly polished, electronic arrangements.
