Released in 1971, this is the debut album of a Japanese psych - rock band aimed at the overseas market. It launched simultaneously in the US, Canada, and Japan. The single 'SATORI PART 2' hit No. 8 in Canada. With a rising oriental thought trend in the West, the album cleverly weaves in more oriental and Japanese sounds. At that time, Japan was shifting from GS to folk, and rock acceptance was low, but this album's advanced sound has kept it popular overseas. Its name recognition remains strong. The jacket, in a gatefold sleeve, comes with a W - style jacket, a rock - age band design, and an enclosed postcard. It's a high - quality Japanese import on black vinyl with an obi strip, released by Atlantic / Warner Music Japan in 2019.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on a record player. Make sure the player's needle is clean and in good condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, standing it upright in its sleeve to prevent warping. Keep the sleeve clean and protect it from scratches. Also, be gentle when opening and closing the gatefold sleeve to avoid damage to the jacket and the enclosed postcard.
