"Ultra deluxe reissue of this highly desired Japanese underground album from 1969, originally issued as a 2LP picture disc set on The End Record label. Ichiyanagi is the well known Japanese avant garde composer, but here is working in the vein of underground rock & threatrical freakout, performed by Uchida Yuyas group, Flowers. Limited edition reissue of approx 1000 copies, already creating a frenzy throughout the collector universe. Includes: 4 CDs; 24 postcards (Tadanori Yokoos amazing artwork); 2 silkscreened prints of the young composer and a hard cover book of texts & interviews (Japanese text only). Packaged in a beautiful hard cover box designed by Tadanori Yokoo. Note: this was originally issued as a 2LP release and the CD reissue has been done as 1 CD per LP side, to preserve the original listening experience (I guess). So, theres no bonus material here. Its also been transcribed from vinyl, with no digital filtering -- which sounds surprising in this era of digital remastering (the master tapes evidently lost or dysfunctional after 36 years...). Still, an original copy is out of the question and this has never been reissued before, hard to think of in any terms other than: "totally worth it". Good work from the obscure Bridge label from Tokyo." - FE.
