it is awesome!
i waited so long to get this album and i was really sorry about that
about half of the tracks are his earlier work-more acoustic guitar sounds, there are more traditional japanese sounds on it-there's yokota's comment on the sleeve and some of his own artwork...
(if you want i can send you the scan i made, so you can read his comment and see some of the artwork, its not the best scan but its readable)

here are some comments about album -this is the sort of music you put on while you're doing the washing up only to find it has taken control of your very soul-mojo
-sexy and funny...image's micro mood engineering is pure phantasmal pop. it makes you itch to hear whatever ivory dice yokota rolls out next-the wire
-sublime-the times -beauty incarnate-wax -wonderfuly imaginative-sleaze nation -evocative and beguiling-alternative press -spine-tinglingly beautiful-wax

i just send you those two pages-if you want those photos in better quality i should do more scans-the thing is the sleeve is just one page packed into the box, so i cant make one normal scan as i can only scan A4 format...

btw, here's a nice review by leaf
Susumu Yokota has earned praise for his super-funky blend of house, techno, disco, jazz and breaks, with releases on Japan's Sublime Records, among others. "[He] has more ideas in the space of one album than most house producers have in their entire careers" said Mixmag of 1999, his most recent album on Sublime.
The Leaf Label has licensed 'Image 1983-1998', a collection of mainly acoustic and oddly moving instrumental and vocal pieces from Yokota's own Skintone label. It's a very personal project, representing a very different side to his musical persona to the one you may already be aware of. Five of the tracks were recorded with guitars and organs in 1983-4, the remainder were inspired by those songs and were recorded in 1997-8. There are already another two Skintone albums ready to go, both in very different styles. Yokota is proving increasingly difficult to pin down, which can only be a good thing as far as we're concerned.
Already synonymous with dance music in Japan, Yokota first attracted worldwide attention back in '92 with Frankfurt-Tokyo Connection on Harthouse. Since then he has enjoyed a prolific career as both a DJ and recording artist, working under a host of pseudonyms, including 246, Ringo and Prism (for Sublime and Reel Musiq) and Stevia (for NSCom). 'Morino Gakudan' and 'Kawano Hotorino Kinoshitade' were included on the 'Osmosis' sampler.
The vinyl version of 'Image' is limited to 1,000 copies.
