The legendary “Chinatown Live” stereo version, discovered after 50 years, is finally here. Recorded at Dohatsu Shinkan on May 8, 1976, it will now be released on LP for the first time. A Chinatown pop-up event has also been confirmed.

Led by Haruomi Hosono, Tin Pan Alley performed this legendary live show on May 8, 1976, at Dohatsu Shinkan, a long-established Chinese restaurant in Yokohama Chinatown. The recording, which captures the atmosphere of that night in vivid detail, has been revived as a stereo mix half a century later.

For this release, engineer Goh Hotoda has created a new mix and mastering based on the newly discovered stereo master. Please enjoy this wonderful mix, which brings out the atmosphere and presence of the venue at the time, on analog. A live recording from one unforgettable night, still shining after 50 years, is finally being released on LP.

To celebrate the LP release, live footage from this Chinatown live show will premiere tonight at 8:00 p.m. on Haruomi Hosono’s YouTube channel.
