Tiliqua Records is immensely proud to be able to announce the
launch of its Archival Series; a side-venture dedicating
itself to releasing and restoring long lost historical
recordings by obscure and legendary artists. From the time I
began toying with the idea of staring up this side project, I
had already set my mind on Takayanagi Masayuki as possible
spearhead for the series and especially his much overlooked
masterpiece Action Direct that screamed out to be officially
re-released one day. The record has never been reissued in
whatever format and apart from being rumored as a legendary
and transitional Takayanagi recording, very few people had the
chance to lend their ear to its mind peeling beauty. Still,
trying to re-release this historical recording by one of my
all time favorite musical heroes didn't come easy and involved
careful consideration, artist related research, legal
footwork, awaiting approval of Takayanagi's widow who guards
his legacy, digging up the master tapes out of oblivion, lots
of patience and an unrelenting love for the music. Lots of
water has flowed under the bridge since the wheels for this
project were set in motion but finally Tiliqua is able to
birth out the final results, the premier official & legal
reissue worldwide of this staggering sonic document.
Action Direct was first released by Kojima ALM Records in 1985
in a tiny run and has been elusive ever since. Now, twenty
years later, Tiliqua restores it to its former glory in the
form of an identical limited LP edition (of 250 copies) and a
first time ever limited CD edition (of 800 copies). The CD
version is carefully crafted and housed in a deluxe fold out
sturdy carton mini-LP styled record sleeve (hand numbered)
complete with fully detailed and extensive liner notes by Alan
Licht and Johan Wellens.
