Thanks for viewing my sale for the great synth-pop band Yellow Magic Orchestra’s album “Naughty Boys”, imported from Japan (note: no OBI). This vinyl LP is a pristine, shrink-wrapped, new old stock copy that has been in cool storage since receiving it from the importer, JEM Records. 

Yellow Magic Orchestra was a Japanese electropop band, formed in 1978 by Haruomi Hosono (bass), Yukihiro Takahashi (drums) and Ryuichi Sakamoto (keyboards). 

The band was originally conceived as a one-off studio project by Hosono, the other two members being recruited session musicians - the idea was to produce an album fusing orientalist exotica (cf their cover version of Martin Denny's Firecracker) with modern electronics. However the first album (with its cutting-edge production) was very popular, and the studio project grew into a fully fledged touring band and career for its three members. 

Making abundant use of new synthesizers, samplers, digital and computer recording technology as it became available, their popularity and influence extended beyond Japan. Generally the band are highly regarded as pioneers of electronic music, and continue to be remixed and sampled by modern artists. 

CONDITION: New Old Stock (NOS) unplayed 33 rpm record in New condition. The vinyl record is NEW; the cover is NEW but rated NM+ due to slightest of bumping to the corners (see photo); basically this album is in time-vault condition, never unwrapped or played. Please review photos carefully for condition since they are considered part of the description. What you see is what you get. It goes without saying that a record is only new once, and this one is new as the day it was first shipped.

Please see photos for song titles.

Mint (M): The record or cover must appear as new.

Near Mint (NM): This generally means the vinyl is in pristine condition with only one or two slight marks that will not affect playback. A NM cover will may show slight signs of wear or one or two marks but still looks fresh and close to flawless
