It has been announced that Off Course's best-of albums "SELECTION 1973-78" and "SELECTION 1978-81," released during their Toshiba EMI era, will be issued as high-quality "100% Pure LP" vinyl records.
"100% Pure LP" is a high-quality vinyl series that first debuted in 2012, with four titles released last December for the first time in about 10 years. It pursues the true value of vinyl records by paying close attention to every detail, from the selection of the master and vinyl materials to the pressing process. "SELECTION 1973-78" will be released on Oct. 28, and "SELECTION 1978-81" will be released on Nov. 25.
"SELECTION 1973-78" is Off Course's first best-of album, released in 1978. It contains a total of 14 tracks, featuring 12 carefully selected songs from their debut album "Boku no Okurimono" to their 5th album "JUNKTION," along with the A-side and B-side tracks of their latest single at the time. Meanwhile, "SELECTION 1978-81" was released in 1981 as their second best-of album. It features a total of 11 tracks, combining seven songs selected from their 6th album "FAIRWAY" through their 8th album "We are," plus four songs released exclusively as singles.
