More Info:
Exorcising Ghosts (1984) is a 16-track 2LP set compiled and produced in consultation with lead singer David Sylvian, two years after Japan dissolved. This career spanning 'Best of' features three recordings from the band's early career on the Hansa Records label (including 1979's "Quiet Life") but mainly focuses on material from their two seminal studio albums on Virgin Records; Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980) and Tin Drum (1981).
