The three 180-gram records are pressed in clear red, clear lime yellow and clear blue; the label ties the colors to the three primary colors of light and to the rainbow-finished Yamaha SG Takanaka played that night. The middle record is single-sided, its fourth side carrying an etched design instead of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes a booklet of stage photographs and a reproduction of the original \u003cem\u003eThe Rainbow Goblins\u003c\/em\u003e poster. Alex Wharton mastered the audio and cut the lacquers at Abbey Road Studios in London. Liner notes are by music writer Masayoshi Kondo and Yoshinobu Maruyama, Takanaka's manager at Kitty Artists at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concert ran over two nights at Nippon Budokan, March 10 and 11, 1981: the release day of \u003cem\u003eThe Rainbow Goblins\u003c\/em\u003e and the day after. The first half staged that album, Takanaka's concept record inspired by Ul de Rico's picture book, in full; the second half turned to his best-known songs. The label states this is the first time the full performance has been released as a single audio work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the label, a rainbow neon arch spanned the stage, lit in sequence with the music alongside a laser show, and the seven supporting musicians wore costumes in goblin colors while Takanaka played in a yellow jumpsuit. The band was Masahiro Miyazaki on drums, Akihiro Tanaka on bass, Izumi Kobayashi and Kiyosumi Ishikawa on keyboards, Yuki Sugawara and Makoto Kimura on percussion and Koji Satsuma on saxophone, with narration by Roy Garner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 1 (Clear Red) - Side A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce Upon A Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Goblins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sunset Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 1 (Clear Red) - Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Moon Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunderstorm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 2 (Clear Lime Yellow) - Side C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRising Arch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlumed Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can Never Come To This Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 2 (Clear Lime Yellow) - Side D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtched side, no music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 3 (Clear Blue) - Side E\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Lagoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRainy Day Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLP 3 (Clear Blue) - Side F\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady To Fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKurofune (黒船～嘉永六年六月四日)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive Masayoshi Takanaka titles at Evergreen Vinyl, this one included: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/masayoshi-takanaka-all-of-me-clear-light-green-vinyl?variant=67588717674654\"\u003eAll Of Me\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/masayoshi-takanaka-brasilian-skies-clear-sky-blue-vinyl?variant=67588717707422\"\u003eBrasilian Skies\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/masayoshi-takanaka-takanaka-clear-red-vinyl?variant=67588718035102\"\u003eTakanaka\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/masayoshi-takanaka-super-takanaka-live-clear-vinyl?variant=67588717871262\"\u003eSuper Takanaka Live!\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4988031870235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.9.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Universal Music Japan","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67588718231710,"sku":"EVP-1C5A1867-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/Rainbow_Goblins_mock.jpg?v=1792099659","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/masayoshi-takanaka-rainbow-goblins-story-live-at-budokan-1981-clear-lime-yellow-red-blue-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
