L.A. Blue

Release:  7/21/1979
Rank:  2nd (Oricon)
Singles:  None
Obi:  ロスアンゼルス録音 最強のミュージシャンによるタイトなサウンド 百恵はやっぱり期待以上のヴォーカリストだった  (Los Angeles recording/The greatest musicians with the tightest sound/Momoe was most certainly the most awaited vocalist)
Notes:  Recorded entirely in Los Angeles.  Track 5 and 10 were written by Momoe, under her pen name Yokosuka Kei (横須賀 恵).
Opinion:  This collection of songs is probably my second favorite album.  Very mature, from mellow grooves to sexy slow numbers.  I love Track 6 (a calypso beat number) and Track 7.

4.  タイトスカート (TIGHT SKIRT)
