Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

This prog / pop masterpiece was the logical successor to their collective bands of the ‘70s (Yes, ELP, King Crimson) and the album was a huge success. 'Asia' is the debut -- and best -- album from the pop / rock “supergroup”, featuring guitar maestro Steve Howe (of Yes), keyboardist Geoff Downes (ex-Yes / The Buggles), vocalist / bassist John Wetton (ex-King Crimson / UK / Uriah Heep / Roxy Music), plus drummer Carl Palmer (ex-Emerson, Lake & Palmer). This prog / pop masterpiece was the logical successor to their collective bands of the ‘70s and the album was an almost instant success. The ‘Asia’ album exploded onto the music scene in March 1982 with several Top 10 singles and sales exceeding 7 million copies.
