Originally released on March 1, 1980, Masayoshi Takanaka's SUPER TAKANAKA LIVE!, his first live album, returns for Record Store Day Black Friday 2026 with an exclusive free poster.
Recorded during his nationwide tour in December 1979, the album captures the excitement and electrifying energy of Takanaka's live performances just a few years after his solo debut. Featuring many of his signature compositions, the performances deliver an intensity and spontaneity that take the original studio recordings to new heights.
A defining feature of the album is its dynamic live arrangements and the exceptional musicianship of Takanaka and his band. Classics including "BLUE LAGOON," "EXPLOSION," "READY TO FLY," and "KUROFUNE (Black Ship)" are brought to life through thrilling improvisation, powerful ensemble playing, and an unmistakable concert atmosphere that showcases Takanaka's extraordinary talent as a guitarist.
Among the album's highlights, the live version of "READY TO FLY" stands as one of the most celebrated performances of Takanaka's career. Its soaring guitar solos, infectious energy, and remarkable band interplay have made it a fan favorite and one of the defining live recordings in Japanese jazz fusion.
Serving as the foundation for later acclaimed live releases such as OCEAN BREEZE and THE RAINBOW GOBLINS STORY LIVE AT BUDOKAN, SUPER TAKANAKA LIVE! remains an essential live album that perfectly captures the excitement, virtuosity, and joyful spirit of Masayoshi Takanaka's performances. This special RSD Black Friday 2026 edition offers both longtime fans and new listeners the opportunity to experience one of the greatest live albums in the history of Japanese jazz fusion.

Shipping, Local Pick Up, Returns & Cancellations Policies.
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:
Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
