Blast Off - was it ever released in Japan on vinyl

Does anyone know if Blast Off from 1989 was released on vinyl in Japan?
I have never seen a copy from Japan.

Cheers

Jess,
only the first 3 albums + Built For Speed were released in Japan.

Blast Off was released only on CD, same design as the US pressing, but in 1991, the CD was reissued and the back cover comes with the Cat Head Log on top left corner together with the tittles in Japanese.
In Europe, the CD has a different sleeve colour and there is also a Long Box Edition.

Rock Therapy, Choo Choo Hot Fish 10" and Let's Go Faster were never released in vynil in Japan either.

Thanks Jon

Always a pleasure my friend.

Oh Jess, though I now you only collect vynil...
there is a Finnish edition to Blast Off on CD, released in 2004. Same artwork as the US pressing but CD and back cover design is completely different and it comes with booklet with lyrics and some comments in Finnish, together with a pic of the Cats in pants!

That's gotta be worth a lot, wow!

That pic is very funny, honestly!!
I'm sure it was taken in England, as the pants have the Union Jack, when the Cats made the Euro Tour in 1989 after their comeback.

That edition, is quite unique and was on Ebay a few times, mainly by a Finnish record store called Goffin' Records, but I doubt very much they have another copy. Live Nude & The Knife Feels, were also released in 2004 by EMI-Finland and they include that extra booklet with lyrics and comments in Finnish.
