Saturday Night Gossip (サタデーナイト・ゴシップ Satadēnaito Goshippu) is a vinyl exclusive extended play by Japanese musician Ringo Sheena. It was released two months after her fourth studio album Sanmon Gossip, and features a collection of songs relating to that album.^[1]

Background and development

Sheena's first three studio albums were released to vinyl. The first was Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana in 2003, three months after its initial studio release. Muzai Moratorium and Shōso Strip were released on vinyl in 2008, as a part of her 10-year anniversary celebrations. Instead of a full-length vinyl edition of Sanmon Gossip being released, Saturday Night Gossip was created. Similar extended plays were released for her band Tokyo Jihen's albums Adult (2006), called Adult Video Original Sound Track, and Variety (2007), called Variety Zōkangō.

Writing and production

The album features four songs taken directly from Sanmon Gossip, including its bonus track "Marunouchi Sadistic (Expo Ver.)." One song is taken from the "Ariamaru Tomi" single, "SG (Superficial Gossip)," and one song is a rearranged track from Sanmon Gossip, "Mittei Monogatari (Saturday Night Gossip Ver.)." This version features an excerpt from the song "Togatta Teguchi" as its introduction before beginning.

The cover artwork is taken from the same photoshoot as Sheena's "Ariamaru Tomi" single and Sanmon Gossip album. It features a naked Sheena, covered with a Gibson SG guitar.
