Description:

• Gorgeous re-issue by the good people at P-vine records. Beautiful thick vinyl (double LP), gatefold cover with obi and insert. The insert is mostly in Japanese but features a short peice by Yuji Takahashi in English.
  
  
• Originally recorded on August, 1974 then the original LP was released in 1975 seemingly in very small quantities as it is incredibly rare and hard to come by. This P-vine issue was released in 2001 and sold out immediately. It also has become quite difficult to turn up.
  
  
• Featuring Takehisa Kosugi (electric violin, harmonica, voice, etc), Ryo Koike (electric double-bass, suntool, voice, etc), Yukio Tsuchiya (bass-tuba, percussion, etc), Seiji Nagai (trumpet, synthesizer mini-korg, timpani, etc), Michihiro Kimura (voice, percussion, mandoline, etc), Tokio Hasegawa (voice, percussion, etc), Kinji Hayashi (electronic technique).
  
  
• Re-issue Label: P-vine (PLP-7612/3)
  
  
• Please do not support the sale of the releases on the "Pheonix" label. These are bootlegs and of inferior quality in every way. The P-vine records are legitimate and quality releases.

Payment And Shipping:

• Paypal only accepted
  
• Payment is expected within 7 days of the auction's close.
• I always use proper record mailers. I also use bubble wrap to wrap the records within the mailer as well as a solid cardboard insert. It bumps up the shipping cost just a little, but the packaging is very, very solid.
• I will be shipping from Japan and shipping to the US is not $4 (ebay system is flawed and does not allow you to enter more than $4 shipping to the US). Please use the rates below.
