November 27 street date. RSD Black Friday release. Originally released on March 1, 1980, Masayoshi Takanaka's "Super Takanaka Live!", his first live album, returns for Record Store Day Black Friday 2026 with an exclusive free poster. Recorded during his nationwide tour in December 1979, the album captures the excitement and electrifying energy of Takanaka's live performances just a few years after his solo debut. Featuring many of his signature compositions, the performances deliver an intensity and spontaneity that take the original studio recordings to new heights. A defining feature of the album is its dynamic live arrangements and the exceptional musicianship of Takanaka and his band. Classics are brought to life through thrilling improvisation, powerful ensemble playing, and an unmistakable concert atmosphere that showcases Takanaka's extraordinary talent as a guitarist. The live version of "Ready To Fly" stands as one of the most celebrated performances of Takanaka's career. Its soaring guitar solos, infectious energy, and remarkable band interplay have made it a fan favourite and one of the defining live recordings in Japanese jazz fusion.
