Originally released on the legendary Three Blind Mice label, this masterpiece of post-bop and soul-jazz has long been a holy grail for audiophiles, celebrated as much for its smoky, late-night atmosphere as its jaw-dropping acoustic realism. By meticulously cut-cutting the album at 45 RPM from the original analog tapes, Impex has elevated Suzuki’s foundational, woody bass plucks and Kunihiko Sugano’s cascading piano lines into an astonishingly vivid sonic landscape. It stands as a breathtaking tribute to a golden era of Japanese jazz, captured with the kind of panoramic depth and dynamic punch that reminds us exactly why we still fall in love with vinyl.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally recorded on March 29 and 30, 1973, at Aoi Studio in Tokyo, \u003cem data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);' data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" class=\"eujQNb\"\u003eBlow Up\u003c!--TgQPHd||[]--\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e won the prestigious \"Jazz of Japan\" Award from \u003cem data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);' data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" class=\"eujQNb\"\u003eSwing Journal\u003c!--TgQPHd||[]--\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.

Blow Up is one of the most sough-after titles from the acclaimed Three Blind Mice catalog. Isao Suzuki’s Blow-Up is virtuosity and class all rolled up into one. A great combination of upbeat blues and mellow grooves! The album was awarded “Jazz of Japan” Award and the Jazz Disc Award of “Swing Journal” in 1973.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e180g 45rpm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDouble LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMastered by Kevin Gray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePressed at RTI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePremium HQ-180 Super Vinyl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"track\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAqua Marine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEverything Happens To Me\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"track\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBlow Up\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLike It Is\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI Can’t Get Started\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide D\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLow Flight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"track\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNotes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel: IMPEX \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMusicians\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIsao Suzuki, bass \u0026amp; cello\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKunihiko Sugano, piano \u0026amp; Fender-piano\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeorge Otsuka, drums\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTakashi Mizuhashi, bass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Impex","offers":[{"title":"Limited 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":45835494260819,"sku":null,"price":9990.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1867\/3055\/files\/image_2026-07-17_190347849.png?v=1784295233","url":"https:\/\/theaudio.co\/products\/isao-suzuki-trio-quartet-blow-up","provider":"The Audio Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
