VA – 30th Anthology Vol 3 (LP) – Flower Japan

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Flower Records, which was founded in 1995, the special compilation album ’30th Anthology’ will be released as a three-part LP series-all dropping simultaneously!

This release, ‘Vol. 3 -ER-,’ includes the massive hit ‘World’s Famous’ by DJ KOCO aka SHIMOKITA, a remix of Reggae Disco Rockers’ ‘Love Is A Losing Game’ by Coastlines-which now commands high prices on the secondhand market-and Little Big Bee’s remix of Jinwook’s ‘Dream Sunset. ‘ Also featured is the ‘2025 Remix’ of Little Big Bee’s signature track ‘Scuba (Kentaro Takizawa Remix),’ previously released only digitally, now newly enhanced and making it’s debut on vinyl. Additionally, ONEGRAM’s ‘Magic Spice’ and STE with J. Lamotta Suzume’s cover of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Both Sides Now,’ which had been included only as a bonus track on a CD album, receive their first analog release. The compilation is further enriched by a variety of first-time vinyl debuts: a cover of Sister Sledge’s eternal club classic ‘Thinking Of You’ by the Fukuoka-based Mahina Apple Band, a salsa cover of Mario Biondi’s hit ‘This Is What You Are’ by CENTRAL, and the ROCK-Tee remix of Cruisic’s ‘Come With Me. ‘ This comprehensive collection traces the full history of Flower Records and BLOOM MUSIC. Cut directly from analog tape using the ‘Direct Cutting From Reel To Reel’ method, this is a carefully crafted release focused on sound quality, not just a simple compilation.
