Opus (4LP BOXSET)

£149.99 (£179.99 incl. VAT)

Experience the profound artistry of Ryuichi Sakamoto with 'Opus', a definitive vinyl collection curated by the composer himself. Spanning decades of groundbreaking work, this 4-LP set brings together iconic film scores, Yellow Magic Orchestra classics, and deeply personal compositions that reflect Sakamoto's singular musical voice. Highlights include 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence', 'Andata', and 'Aqua', alongside never-before-released pieces including 'for Jhann' (a tribute to Jhann Jhannsson), 'BB' (dedicated to Bernardo Bertolucci), and '20180219' (featuring prepared piano). Pressed at 45 RPM across four heavyweight LPs for exceptional audio fidelity, each disc is housed in its own jacket with matching black paper dust sleeves. The set is encased in a hand-crafted textured slipcase with elegant black foil detailing and includes a collector's booklet with composition notes and credits. 'Opus' is more than a retrospective; it's a final statement from one of the most influential composers of our time.
