Catalog context

DOWN TOWN: position 01 on MHCL-31017

DOWN TOWN · 2024-09-25 · ordered position 1 of 10.

Symbolic editorial illustration shared with the DOWN TOWN (EPO) essay
Shared original AI editorial illustration from “EPO’s DOWN TOWN: The City’s Shared Repertoire”. A visual metaphor, not an archival photograph, master-tape image or original cover for this entry.

“DOWN TOWN” occupies position 01, listed track number 1 in the 10-track MHCL-31017 edition of EPO’s “DOWN TOWN”. This Blu-spec CD2 (BSCD2) release is dated 2024-09-25; the album’s original year is 1980. The title and position together identify a particular place in this edition’s program.

It opens the edition’s listed program; “約束は雨の中” follows at 02. The opening position is a property of this release sequence.

An explicit catalog relationship connects this slot to the song entry “DOWN TOWN (EPO)”. The documented credits separate the words by Ginji Ito from the music by Tatsuro Yamashita. That composition-level link does not by itself establish the same recording or master across editions or streaming services.

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.
