Ryuichi Sakamoto & Kazumi Watanabe – Tokyo Joe
Sakamoto & Watanabe doing electro synth pop and jazz fusion featuring guests Yukihiro Takahashi from YMO and Akiko Yano on some vocals. Not be confused with Brian Ferry's Tokyo Joe which is not a cover of this. On the B side, Thousand Knives is where Sakamoto & Watanabe go all out. I'll be there is a great electro boogie number which featured on Gilles Peterson show few years back when he did a special on Akiko Yano.

This is an original 1982 pressing that I got relatively cheaply as it was missing an obi.
