Description

This is preorder. Estimated shipping date: Q3 2026 (July)

CHA CHA ME is a different side of the Takanaka universe: BACCO, a super session unit led by Masayoshi Takanaka, delivering tight, groovy West Coast rock with a funk-fusion backbone. The playing is sharp and confident, but the real twist is the vocal presence -Jim Diamond’s big, emotional delivery pushes the album beyond instrumental showcase into full-band statement territory.

Produced by Robert Brill and Takanaka, this 1979 release returns in a yellow vinyl anniversary edition, newly remastered from the original master tapes with high-resolution audio and cut at Abbey Road Studios by Alex Wharton. It’s a collector-grade way to own a deep-cut era where groove, guitar flash, and vocal drive all hit at once.
