Hi,

I'm selling a copy of the ridiculously hard to find 2nd Hanatarash LP.  I bought this from Japan and I hate to part with it but I have no further need for it.  This is one of the earliest offerings from Yamatsuka Eye (of Boredoms fame), recorded back when he was only about 16 or 17.  This was put on Jojo Hiroshige's Alchemy label  (the same label responsible for putting out various noise artifacts by underground japanese noise legends like masonna, hijokaidan, and solmania).  Here is a good description from the SORE DIAMONDS boredoms website:

Hanatarashi 2 (Alchemy Records--ARLP-018--LP) 1987?

LINE-UP: YAMATSUKA EYE**--Hungin & Oil; ONE [aka OMIYA ICHI]--Car & Smog; JOJO--Guitar

SIDE OUT: 1. We Eat; 2. We Bite Bollocks; 3. Mind Dig; 4. Frog Girl 90000; 5. We See; 6. My Dad is Car; 7. Detroit Rock City; 8. Vortex Shit;
SIDE NO: 1. No Noise; 2. Gags Nuts Gum; 3. Boat People Hate Fuck; 4. We Can Kill; 5. Bad Sound for Bad Ear (Magatronix); 6. Apartheidfunclub; 7. We Are Meat; 8. California Sleep; 9. We Hook; 10. Pisshole Surfers

ATAC: On Hanatarashi 2 Omiya Ichi of DAIHAKASE was credited but did not play. He joined only as a photo-session member. He was invited to play with Eye on February 21, 1988 (the live show on Hanatarash 3), but he was in trouble (he was involved in street fighting that day) and did not appear.

The record comes with a hilarious insert that has all sorts of typical eye buffoonery, including name calling the swans, sonic youth, coil, psychic tv, and whitehouse.  There are also some fantastic pictures of a young eye complete with inane and baffling liner notes that make no sense whatsoever.  The sleeve itself has a 5 inch seam split near the lower right corner. The edges are somewhat worn, but its hardly noticable. Unfortunately, this is how i recieved it.   The insert, however,  is in excellant shape and the record itself is flawless EX+.  It has been taken very good care of to say the least. I will ship the record OUTSIDE of the sleeve, unlike the person who sold me this copy, so no further damage shall come to this fie item.  Those reading surely must be aware that this is easily one of teh most intense and greatest Japanese noise records on the market. It has never been reissued and there are no plans of it occuring any time soon. It hsa been out of print since 1987. This one is really rare, so please bid away.  There is NO RESERVE  for this item.

I hate to part with it, but i have no need for it anymore. I originally paid about $75 for this, but you can have for much cheaper if the planets align. My loss is your gain.  Plese email  istvanmatis@yahoo.com if you have any questions.  This is a no reserve auction. Shipping will be $5 on this item. Good luck and please check out my other auctions as I will be getting rid of plenty of rare ween, boredoms, mr. bungle, japanese noise, etc.  I can combine items to save on shipping.
