Assemblage is a compilation album by the British band Japan, released in 1981 by Hansa Records. Assemblage collects recordings from the band's early career (1977–1980) and Hansa Records re-released no fewer than six singles from Assemblage and Japan's back catalogue between 1981 and 1983. Both "Life in Tokyo", a collaboration with renowned disco producer Giorgio Moroder, and "European Son" were remixed and re-issued twice.

Label: Hansa ‎– HANLP 1. Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Compilation. Some initial copies came with sticker attached, stating:: 'The Very Best of Japan: Includes 5 Tracks Never Previously Released On Album'. In early 1982 the sticker was changed to name the 3 most recent singles on Hansa - "European Son", "Quiet Life" and "Life In Tokyo".

The 1981 compilation Assemblage gives a skewed, incomplete picture of Japan's early career; this is not necessarily a bad thing, as Japan's early career frankly wasn't very good, and it certainly had little to do with the mature, studied art-pop of their later albums.

JAPAN ASSEMBLAGE Hansa German LP VG+/VG. As its title indicates, this � album � is made from different sources and assembled together. While there are some singles-only tracks, others come from albums, the whole thing being a bit of a compilation that was released in 81, a bit as a new album (if I understood well).

Japan were an English new wave band formed in 1974 in Catford, South London by David Sylvian (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Steve Jansen (drums), Richard Barbieri (keyboards) and Mick Karn (bass guitar). Initially a glam rock-inspired band, Japan developed their sound and androgynous look to incorporate electronic music and foreign influences, eventually becoming an influence on the UK's early-1980s New Romantic scene.

Mediocre art restoration (blurry with evident creases on the single scans in the booklet - it's not that hard to do, it just looks rushed). Gaps in some tracks such as track 13 and since it's an expanded edition and the Quiet Life one got all bonus tracks from that album, this is missing a lot, such as the Steve Nye extended remixes of Life In Tokyo and European Son. Also, the restoration of some tracks on this release are from vinyl and still retain evident ticks, clicks and too much declicking/denoising software going on, which makes the crisp drum kicks into dull thumps. Yet again, this release has been rushed, evident by the above and the fact the original 2004 version didn't even have the correct tracks included. The 2006 one seems to be fixed, although as mentioned, some tracks have gaps during some songs. Will there ever be a decent, full, expanded release of the Hansa Japan albums? Vinyl mastering isn't a bad thing as long as it is done right; Buy about 5 of the 12'' single you wish to include, wash it, transfer and declick manually. It really isn't hard. Same for the cover art, touching up doesn't take long. A CD can hold over an hour of music, so why dismiss tracks that could've been included? Shame, as this really could have been a nicer release - same for all the Hansa albums in this range to be honest.
