TESTPATTERN's only album is finally reissued!
TESTPATTERN's only album, "Apres-midi" (originally released on October 21, 1882), which was said to be impossible to reissue and was always priced in the high five figures on Yahoo! Auctions and Discogs, has been reissued on Vinyl & CD after 42 years and 4 months!
The original master was unearthed from the ALFA MUSIC warehouse and subjected to the highest level of digital processing. The vinyl was cut by Kitamura Katsutoshi (Warner Music Mastering) and the CD was remastered by Abe Mitsunori (Sony Music Studio). The long-awaited release will be on February 26, 2025.
