Featured on Hosono’s 1975 album Tropical Dandy, the original track will appear on the B-side to Mac DeMarco’s version, and will be pressed on ‘honey yellow’ vinyl.
It follows Light In the Attic’s ongoing Hosono reissue series, which will see five of the Yellow Magic Orchestra co-founder’s solo albums made available outside Japan for the first time.
In a post on the label’s Instagram page, Light In The Attic teased further instalments of the Covers series, which will see “Julie Byrne covering Nico, and Jarvis Cocker making his own unique selection from the LITA archives.”
