Opus

Description

Immerse yourself in the legendary artistry of Ryuichi Sakamoto with Opus, a definitive 4 LP Vinyl collection curated by the composer himself. Spanning decades of groundbreaking work, this anthology brings together iconic film scores, Yellow Magic Orchestra classics, and deeply personal compositions that reflect Sakamotos singular musical voice. Featured tracks include Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Andata, and Aqua, alongside never-before-released pieces including for Jóhann (a tribute to Jóhann Jóhannsson), BB (dedicated to Bernardo Bertolucci), and 20180219 (featuring prepared piano). Presented in a deluxe six-panel digipak constructed from premium black stock with black foil stamping and silver text, the CD edition is wrapped in a custom eight-panel sleeve showcasing evocative black-and-white imagery of Sakamoto during the performance of Opus. A collectors booklet offers liner notes and credits, providing deeper insight into the music and the artists final reflections. 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 collectors booklet with composition notes and credits. Opus is more than a retrospective; its a lasting tribute to one of the most influential composers of our time.
