Isao Tomita Albums
Tomita - The Bermuda TrianglePerhaps Tomita at his most experimental, in which large sections of Prokofievorchestral works are combined with loads of marvellous synthesizer effects.One of the most lavish album packages released in the 1970's (especially theJapanese version), this hit the streets at the time of maximum gimmicry inpackage design. But it was great value compared with today's CD's (unless,again, you buy the Japanese version).The UK edition came in at least three colours of vinyl: standard black,sea blue, and a bright pink colour. In Japan, the album had a full colourinner bag and colour sleeve insert. Even the interior of the sleeve wasprinted in colour, with photos.There are a number of different versions of the titles on this recording.The ones listed below are from the Japanese CD release.

Isao Tomita The Planets
The TARBEL format was used as a way to save data onto an audiocassette recorder in the mid to late 1970s before the IBM PC and hard diskdrives. The sound is familiar to anyone who has used an old tape interface(lots of 'piii's and 'gaaa's!) and can be decoded with a computer programmedto recognise the TARBEL system.Album DetailsCatalogue Number DJL1-3386 (12' Single)RVC-2222 / ARL1-2885 / PL 82885 / RL 12885 / AGL1-7144 (LP)RCX-1036 / ARK1-2885 / PK 82885 / RK 12885 (Cassette)R32C-1044 / RCD1-2885 / BVCC-2510 / BMG-887784 (CD)ARS1-2885 (8-Track Cartridge)Label RCADate Released 1978Total Playing Time 5:52 (12' Single)53:50 (CD)Tracks12' Single.
