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. That same year, Spectrum released their "Super Remix" album. 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.
