Casiopea World Live '88
Casiopea World Live '88 is the fifth live album released by the jazz fusion group Casiopea in 1988. It is a compilation Album consisting of recordings of some of their songs played in concert during Casiopea's World Tour in 1988 that promoted their previous album "Euphony". It is also a collaboration album with two Japanese horn sections from two other bands, the brass section of "Spectrum" and the brass Section of "The Tops". Additionally, it is the first album Spectrum recorded since their breakup in 1981, and is their penultimate album (their last album after they broke up was released in 1991 and was a remix compilation album of songs that were hits in Japan from the late 1970s). Lead trumpeter/vocalist of Spectrum, Ichiro Nitta, was also the Producer of "The Tops" at the time this album was released. Tops released one more album, "Soul Children", the following year, before they disbanded in 1991. This was also the last album to feature Tetsuo Sakurai on Bass and Akira Jimbo on Drums (during his run as a full-time member), who both left to form the band Jimsaku.

Full Live edit
Aside from Casiopea Perfect Live II, all Casiopea lives officially released are cut.
Some songs are missing from the official release. Since the released album is a compilation of multiple concerts across the world, we don't have the setlists for all of them.
We do have the setlist for the concert held in Yomuri Land in Japan, from this concert were picked "Hacker", "Bayside Express", "Solid Swing", "Do-Loo-Doo?", "Access", "Super Sonic Movement", "Halle", "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Asayake". Those songs come from the second part which was for the promotion of Casiopea's latest albums, Platinum and Euphony.
The first part was the "Sake No Kawanobori Medley", made up of one song from each Casiopea album at the time, going from the newest Sun Sun to the oldest Casiopea.
