(Philips – FX-8512) 1st original pressing of this historic and wicked slide. Original copies just do not come up, 2ndpressings with the single jacket surface from time to time, but the 1st pressing in different jacket is near impossible to unearth, until now. Killer Japanese early seventies (1971) discs - Yuikonga record, a real hybrid and derailed passion filled slab of counter cultural vigor. Recorded in 1970 after that Shinoda returned back to Japan following a successful stay in New York with the Tokyo Kid Brothers "Golden Bat" production, the album was his musical statement to the end of a decade, all summed up in a musical testament (Yuikonga means Last Will and Testament Songs) that encapsulated all that had gone by and what was still to come. Hyper psychedelic masterpiece/ acid loner folk gem and one of the best discs to come out of Japan during that period. If you are into Tenjosajiki, Opera of Tadanori Yoko, Flowers, Flower Traveling Band's Satori, Food Brain, Melting Glass Box, etc, then this baby has written YOU all over it. This is the first original pressing. Great disc, ultimate psyched out loner acid folk dementia and Buddhist deranged crooner stuff.
