Symphonic Poem Gundam LP Records / Takeo Watanabe & Yushi Matsuyama 1980*

As this is a vintage record jacket from 1980s Japan, natural signs of age such as color fading, mild wear, and loosened inner booklet pages are to be expected. The condition reflects its status as a decades-old collector's item and may not be pristine. This item is sold as-is.

A suite album consisting of 10 tracks from "Mobile Suit Gundam" performed by a full orchestra, where you can fully appreciate the beauty of Takeo Watanabe's orchestral arrangements.

• Composition & Arrangement: Takeo Watanabe, Yuji Matsuyama 
• Conductor: Kazuhiko Komatsu Performance: New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra 
• Recording Location: Fussa Civic Hall Main Hall Recording Date: June 27-28, 1980

This is a significant orchestral album that showcases the musical themes from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, recorded with a full symphony orchestra back in 1980. 

The history and significance of this album is quite interesting! This "Symphonic Poem Gundam" is actually a historically important piece in anime music. It was one of the first anime soundtracks to receive a full orchestral treatment of this scale.
