An exciting re - collaboration between Haruomi Hosono's ambient classic 'TALKING' and Vampire Weekend! This release includes a new version of Vampire Weekend's '2021'. In 2019, when the American NY band Vampire Weekend released the song '2021' from their Grammy - winning album Father of the Bride, sampling Haruomi Hosono's 'TALKING' caused a buzz in Japan and the US. Now, Haruomi Hosono's 'TALKING' and Vampire Weekend's '2021' are combined in a cross - border and cross - label 12 - inch single. It's the first vinyl edition of Haruomi Hosono's 'Talking' from the 'Watering A Flower' cassette (1984), paired with Vampire Weekend's re - interpretation '2021' from Father Of The Bride and a new 2021 mix. The black vinyl is a high - quality import from Japan. It comes with a full - color printed insert, and the music label is Speedstar Records 2021.
Using this vinyl is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the record, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to clean it, as this could damage the surface and affect the sound quality.
