Inagaki has said he \"played black funk\" on this record: the group's explosive jazz-rock foundation is fused with the stickiness, elasticity, and physicality of black music, polished to a high sheen by the arrangements of Hiromasa Suzuki. Alongside the driving \"Painted Paradise\" and the mellow \"Breeze,\" the set carries a low-slung, razor-sharp cover of Kool \u0026amp; The Gang's \"Funky Stuff.\" The album is now regarded as a definitive Japanese jazz-funk classic and remains in constant demand from listeners around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pressing is Nippon Columbia's 2026 repress on uncolored virgin vinyl (catalog HMJY-237), distributed in the US by Light in the Attic, street date September 4, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted Paradise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunky Motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScratch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunky Stuff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne for Jiro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle Wave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Nippon Columbia","offers":[{"title":"2026 \/ LP, 2026 Repress \/ Nippon Columbia \/ NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":47960971673758,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/FunkyStuff_2026Repress_mock.jpg?v=1783712678","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/preorder-soul-media-funky-stuff","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
