GRADING:

LP Record Set: Excellent ~ Near Mint, perfect copy with shiny and glossy surface without any signs of much handling. I can only detect under a strong light some harmless faint inner sleeve lines (only a couple) that do not affect the playing in any way – hard to find better

Gatefold Jacket: Excellent – beautiful & well cared for condition without any defects. Perfectly sharp corners/ straight edges/ perfectly readable spine. Minimal small wear on spine only due to age, so EX~Nm overall condition. No damages. Archive condition!

Attached Insert: Excellent – sole defect is some time annotations next to song titles. 

Some words: FLOWERS: “Challenge – Yuya Uchida & The Flowers” (Columbia – YS-10063-J) Really nice copy, Japan 1st original pressing from 1969! Without a single doubt the cleanest copy I have had so far as far as the LP is concerned, EX ~ NM condition…seems to have been played only one or twice. Heavy-duty monster rarity, one of the 5 top heavy psych rarities to seep out of Japan, copies just NEVER turn up. This is the 1st and only original pressing as released in July 1969. Hard riffing psych ball buster with female vocalist Aso Remi at helm. Vicious acidic and lysergic interplay that surfs on the foam crested skies bordering on an intoxicated psychedelic meltdown in Valhalla. Booming rhythm section, insanely deranged fuzz assaults and screaming guitars that spew out ecstatic shards of amped up distortion, bound to leave your mind scattered all over the place. The whole combo surmounts the edges of psychedelia with a lumbering beauty of an all out assault yet to be matched by anyone, pushing acid rock past the known limits of aural mayhem and balancing on the razor's edge between chaos and slow-burning but fully loaded collective synergy. In short, killer material and just impossible to come by. Jacket is in excellent to near mint condition, record is near mint and is the cleanest copy ever I have seen of this LP. One of the best and one of the heaviest insanely rare psych artifacts to seep out of here. One of the best nicest out there.
