Description

That Japans breakthrough record Quiet Life was released in both 1979 and 1980 is uniquely fitting for a band who were about to step out of the glam rock, postpunk shadows of the late 70s and deliver an as yet genreless record that would come to define the 80s. Quiet Life was the third, final and most successful release on the Hansa Records label. A forerunner for the alternativenew wave sound of the new decade, the album would become one of the great classic British albums. The record is now the subject of a major new reissue featuring a brand new Abbey Road halfspeed remaster of the original album, alt mixes, bsides, singles, rarities and live material ndash including the sought after lost Live at Budokan show from March 1980 previously only available as the 4 track EP Live in Japan. Japan Red-Vinyl is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £25 +P&P
