Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

TOP COPY! ...MINTY CLEAN
Original sought after 1970 first pressing Canadian-only issue in thick gatefold with unique custom design found only on this release ... only here you get superior alternate recordings of the famous hard psych album that was also issued in 1970 Japan ... outrageous heavy psych!!
"Satori" was the second album by the Flower Travelling Band, after they had changed their name from The Flowers. It contains five, long and powerful heavy-rock songs ... The recordings of the tracks are completely different mixes from the Japanese version and decidedly better. The whole album has a very special mystical, dark and melancholic atmosphere. In some of the songs, as in "Satori Part I", they play sludgey doom, with brutal heavy riffs and nice tempo-changes. The clear and high voice of singer Joe completes this great song, and different to early BLACK SABBATH but still in that vein. FLOWER TRAVELLING BAND are strongly influenced through ancient Eastern music. Like the second song "Satori II" which starts with a hypnotic psychedelic guitarsound and then turns into a cool jam with Eastern percussion -- but doesn't "freak-out" into a endless jam. The band plays very compact with a melody line involved. "Satori III" is a very heavy and dark, the crunching guitar sludge returns and contains an ancient touch. It changes into a heavy groovy part which goes into something experimental and then back to the opening theme with an oriental-like ending; really fantastic! "Satori IV" features a progressive sound that changes into acool bluesrock part with a harmonica. Joe delivers a very unique vocal-style on "Satori Part V", that may not everybodys flavour, but fits the heavy-prog track closing off the powerful album.
