This page provides an overview of all Japanese releases<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always been intrigued by the popularity of Japanese pressings among vinyl collectors. Many people rave about the exceptional sound quality and unique packaging, like the Obi strip. What makes these Japanese pressings stand out to you compared to standard American or European pressings? Is it the audio quality, the collectible aspect, or something else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay so first off, as with many things, the japanese people tend to do stuff with great care and attention to detail, resulting in exceptionally high quality products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason #1: Pressing quality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the world of vinyl records, this became very, very obvious during the oil crisis in the 70s – you know, the main material records are made from. During that time, many (if not almost all) western (especially american from my experience) record pressing plants started to recycle old vinyl records and other sorts of “scrap” from the pressing process to press new records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result were lousy, noisy pressings, often times with small bits of paper or other debris pressed into the LP, obviously resulting in pops, clicks and more surface noise in general. If you have a lot of old US pressings, you’ll almost guaranteed have at least one with some sort of dirt pressed into the actual vinyl!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One exception to this were the RCA dynaflex records. Instead of recycling, they just started to press VERY thin LPs to save material. But, rather thanadmitting to cost-cutting they marketed these almost flexi-disc like “Dynaflex” records as a great, new audiophile invention because their records were free of surface noise since they only used new (=virgin) vinyl material to press their records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And albeit the sketchy marketing and flimsy appearence, they do indeed often sound great. Also, even tho you can easily bend them into a U-shape, they are in fact less suspectible to warping because less material results in less tension in the record itself. They just spring back and are perfectly flat again. Just another proof that the entire 180g vinyl scheme is a complete marketing scam, but that’s another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now back to the topic of japanese pressings: AFAIK these also never were made with recycled vinyl but “pure virgin vinyl” instead. Therefore resulting in pressings of the highest quality, with no baked in dirt, dust, paper or whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s what basically started the whole “virgin vinyl” trend back in the days and also the myth that japanese pressings are superior. The use of quality source material and a manufacturing process of the highest standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, pretty much all records pressed are made from virgin vinyl (except advertised as eco\/recycled vinyl ofc, which has been a trend lately), even cheap bootleg-ish stuff like waxtime records, jazzwax records, DOL, vinyl passion etc. market their pressings as “180g virgin vinyl” all the time. The process of the pressing itself often remains questionable tho, especially with the incredibly high demand for vinyl and pressing plants basicalll running 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason #2: Recording quality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, there’s the musical source material aswell and that’s where japanese pressing often fall short. They usually didn’t have access to the original master tapes and were only sent copies to create their vinyl masters from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that goes for “western” recordings only of course, japanese recordings are on a whole other level. Just as with their pressings and many other things, a ton of japanese recordings are done incredibly well, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason #3: Mastering<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next thing is, the japanese versions tend to be mastered quite different, since “their” listening habits seem to differ from “ours”. Very generally speaking, they tend to accentuate higher frequencies more and ditch some (to a lot) of low end (but that’s just different listening habits, I’m sure theres japanese folks who find EU\/US pressings to sound overly boomy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason #4: Quality of used records<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, this seems to be a very japanese “way” of doing things. It’s actually hard to find old japanese records in conditions worse than VG+. Virtually everything seems like it’s alwas been handled with the greatest care imaginable, everything looks so CLEAN and NICE and NEAT. I just love it. I love when people take good care of their shit. Amazing, 10\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reason #5: OBI Strips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI is used as a backronym meaning “Outer Band Insert”. Obi is also “belt or “band” or “sash” in Japanese. An OBI strip is a paper band or a folded paper flap as an addition to your Vinyl Sleeve. The OBI strips are best known from the Japanese import releases where they usually contain the release info in Japanese<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBI strips just look cool. Plus, since they were used in a similar way to how hype stickers are being used nowadays (include additional information like price, catalogue number, japanese translation of non-japanese releases, etc.) they used to be viewed as part of the packaging and often were thrown away – which makes the ones that still exist rare and therefore automatically expensive and desirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
