NIAGARA TRIANGLE — Vol. 1 Eiichi Ohtaki × Tatsuro Yamashita × Ginji Ito · Niagara / CBS-Sony 27AH 1242
Three architects of Japanese pop, on one record.
Originally from 1976 and reissued here in 1981 on Ohtaki's own Niagara label, Niagara Triangle Vol. 1 pairs Eiichi Ohtaki, Tatsuro Yamashita and Ginji Ito at the dawn of what would become city pop — sunlit harmonies, Wall-of-Sound production, and the supporting cast of a generation (Ryuichi Sakamoto, Minako Yoshida, Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki among them). Produced by Ohtaki; a cornerstone of the Niagara universe.

Cleaning & Care
Every record in this shop is individually cleaned on our ultrasonic cleaning system before it is listed — a deep bath process that lifts dust and residue from the groove itself, beyond what a conventional brush reaches. Each disc is then handled with lint-free wipes.
Sleeve and media are graded separately (Goldmine standard), with honest disclosure of any flaws. What you see and read is what ships.
Shipping
All items ship from Tokyo, Japan via EMS with full tracking and insurance. Estimated delivery is 5–8 business days to Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and 11–14 business days to the United States after dispatch. Every item is carefully packed to protect all volumes in transit.
