Kimi no Station: The Home of City Pop's video: Makoto Matsushita - First Light 1981 1982 : Mix Comparison

Makoto Matsushita's debut studio album First Light was originally released on September 21, 1981 on RVC's Air Records label. Less then a year after, the album was reissued on April 21, 1982 on Alfa Moon's Moon Records label. It was notably the first release on the label, which was usually occupied by the works of Mariya Takeuchi and Tatsuro Yamashita. The 1982 release is most notable for its different cover artwork, but it also has a unique re-mix which overshadows the original 1981 mix in terms of availability. All currently existing CD versions (as well as the 2019/2020 vinyl reissue) use the 1982 re-mix, with the exception of the original Japanese-language version of "September Rain" being included as a bonus track on some versions. The 1982 LP reissue adds a "Digital Mastering" sticker on the back cover, and the insert adds a mention of the album being mastered with the "JVC Digital System No. 1010." Some tracks have been re-mixed with reverb audible on some instruments, whereas other tracks have their vocals re-recorded, and others left untouched or are too similar to notice any differences.
