DOWN TOWN: the MHCL-31017 edition

2024-09-25 · Blu-spec CD2 (BSCD2) · 10 tracks · reissue.

Symbolic editorial illustration shared with the DOWN TOWN essay
Shared original AI editorial illustration from “DOWN TOWN, Two Ways into the Centre”. A visual metaphor, not an archival photograph, master-tape image or original cover for this entry.

This is the MHCL-31017 reissue of EPO’s “DOWN TOWN”, released on 2024-09-25 in Blu-spec CD2 (BSCD2) format. The edition contains 10 ordered tracks. Its release date identifies this particular issue; the album itself belongs to 1980. Catalog number, medium and date together make this a more precise reference than the album title alone.

The sequence opens with “DOWN TOWN” and closes with “珈琲タイム”. Those endpoints and the 10-position list provide a concrete way to check that a source describes MHCL-31017, rather than another issue carrying the same album name.

These are release specifications, not a listening comparison or proof of identical masters on other formats. The linked album essay supplies the broader musical context.

Editorial note

This contextual introduction uses the catalog evidence attached to the sources below. Release, position, composition and recording identities remain distinct; a database identifier is not an independent audio test. See the related essay for the fuller treatment.
