    From a musical perspective, this album is one of Tatsuro Yamashita's more mellow and vocal focused works. It's expertly composed and his voice is at its best on the album. Personally, I'm more fond of Spacy, For you, and Go Ahead! For their upbeat classic city pop vibes.

    In of the packing and quality of vinyl, this is the highest quality item from the RCA years represses. The colors and art on the sleeve are incredible. It comes with a noticeably higher quality insert package than the others. And when it comes to the press itself, the album is completely silent. Where For You is marred by some muddled vocals, and my copy of Spacy has noticeable background noise, Moonglow is a perfect press.

    Even if Moonglow isn't your favorite, pick this up to experience some master mastering and crystal clear sound.
