NIAGARA FALL OF SOUND ORCHESTRAL — Niagara Song Book Produced by Eiichi Ohtaki · Cover by Hiroshi Nagai · Niagara / CBS-Sony 20AH 1444
The Niagara songbook, reimagined as pure summer instrumental — under the most iconic city-pop cover art of all.
Released in 1982 and produced by Eiichi Ohtaki, this is his melodies — drawn from A Long Vacation and Niagara Triangle Vol. 2 — recast by arranger Akira Inoue as lush, string-led easy-listening instrumentals: "Olive no Gogo," "Kimi wa Tennenshoku," "Canaria Shoto nite," "Yume de Aetara." The front cover is by Hiroshi Nagai, the illustrator behind A Long Vacation itself — the pool-and-palms image that came to define the entire city-pop aesthetic.
A record that plays as easily as it looks — and looks like the genre's defining postcard.

Sleeve and media are graded separately (Goldmine standard), with honest disclosure of any flaws. What you see and read is what ships.
