I don't have the cash for it right now but hopefully they just do a black pressing later.It is also available from the European site of VS. But with shipping it still is 59 euro. Too much for me at the moment.

But who knows for sure because they sometimes trickle these announcements out to create FOMO.

The bespoke package consists of a glossy wide-spine embossed jacket featuring original artwork, 2 black vinyl records housed in full-color inner sleeves with movie stills, new notes and interviews and a fold-out 16x24 movie poster. This Deluxe Edition expands the program by 14 tracks and 30 minutes of new music, including Revell’s end title song, “It Can’t Rain All the Time,” performed by Jane Siberry.so it sounds like there will be a retail black pressing. The grey marble is exclusive to VS with only 500 available. I agree with Bud, that there will probably be other exclusive variants available for this one.

I do not trust them with pre-orders on records anymore. I won't buy anything unless it's in stock. Just figured I'd offer a fair warning on that.
In the early '80s, Japan was in a flourishing bubble, becoming the world's second-largest economy, threatening to overtake the West with its cutting-edge innovation. Middle class Japanese citizens indulged in luxury clothes, imported wine, and international travel, enjoying unorthodox freedom. City pop emerged as the soundtrack to this cosmopolitan lifestyle: an ode to bright colors, sunny beaches and naive romances, with a clear West influence. Such influence also brought together the first health and fitness wave to Japan: for the first time, taking care of oneself was trendy, and "Aerobic", the word in everybody's mouth. Hyped by the momentum, both the Aerobic Fitness Association (A.F.A. U.S.A, still running) and the Nippon Aerobic Association put together a program to help audiences follow Aerobic classes on channel TBS. Not surprisingly they hired one of the most inspired young talents of the era, the guitarist Yuji Toriyama (now well-known as one of the fathers of Japanese fusion), to perform, together with Ken Morimura (keyboardist for the salsa band Orquesta Del Sol) a series of tracks that could help the viewers keep their body moving. As surprisingly as it seems, that fusion of killer boogie guitars and synths with kitsch aesthetics was made for exercising. Aerobics is a soundtrack made up of boogie beats that span the genres of funk, technopop and even city pop with the purpose of getting folks off their heinies and moving around rhythmically. As this album plays fully instrumental, Toriyama's rhythms and glossy arrangements melt together perfectly with uplifting synths and programmed drums to give birth to a distinguishable cheerful atmosphere. An Aerobic jam. A refreshing and vibrating experience from beginning to end to kick off the summer in perfect shape. First time reissue. Includes obi and original large poster with aerobic moves (with stretches and poses).

I had a pre-order snafu this morning on bandcamp which crashed and I ended up purchasing an expensive record twice. So trying to get that fixed with out having the fucking label just cancel both and tell me to fuck off (they are known to do this unfortunately). So I don't have extra cash to grab those AMS reissues. Hoping they stick around til the end of the week.
