RYUICHI SAKAMOTO’S ULTRA RARE FIRST ALBUM UNDER HIS NAME – RECORDED WITH LEGENDARY PERCUSSIONIST TOSHIYUKI TSUCHITORI FOR ALM RECORDS – REISSUED FOR THE FIRST TIME OUTSIDE OF JAPAN WITH AUDIO REMASTERED BY HEBA KADRY

Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the first vinyl reissue of Disappointment–Hateruma, the 1976 ALM Records release by percussionist Toshiyuki Tsuchitori and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The album is notable as Sakamoto’s first recording issued under his own name and represents one of the few occasions he explored fully improvised music during the 1970s. It provides a vital document for understanding Sakamoto’s early development as a composer and performer, capturing a period when he was experimenting with ambient soundscapes and textured improvisation. This edition features original artwork, audio remastered by Heba Kadry and new liner notes by Andy Beta.
