SPEED GLUE & SHINKI (see also: Food Brain / Shinki Chen / Powerhouse) - SPEED, GLUE & SHINKI - Speed, Glue & Shinki (2nd Album) - AUS Progressive Line - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Once a double album, the second album by the Japanese heavy rock trio (with Shinki Chen on guitar) playing in the vein of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath - now on a single CD. 3/4 of the record is very reminiscent of the excellent debut LP "Eve". Unfortunately, the last 18 minutes are avant-garde experiments with sound. Fortunately, nearly an hour of great music still remains! -
STRAWBERRY PATH (see also: Flied Egg) - STRAWBERRY PATH - When The Raven Come To The Earth - FRA Absinthe Limited Press - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A limited, gatefold absolute classic (recorded in March 1971) of Japanese heavy progressive playing in the style of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Soon afterwards the band changed its name to Flied Egg and recorded two superb albums in a similar style (though at times more art-rock) in the vein of Deep Purple/Uriah Heep. Excellent sound quality! Highly recommended! New, sealed. -
TERAUCHI, TAKESHI & THE BLUE JEANS - TAKESHI TERAUCHI & THE BLUE JEANS - Rashomon - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A fantastic album from Japan, originally released in 1972! Takeshi Terauchi is a master of the guitar and in the 60s was a great star of Japanese guitar pop-rock in the style of The Shadows. In 1972 he turned towards heavier rock and with his band recorded the fantastic LP "Rashomon", inspired by Kurosawa's film. It was a combination of psychedelic, heavy rock with surf music and Japanese folk - with the superb sound of heavily overdriven (and clean) guitars in the leading role! On screen it may look strange, but the end result is stunning! "Rashomon" is one of my favourite records from Japan - I have known it since the early 90s, when I received a parcel with CDs by Blues Creation, Speed Glue And Shinki, Far Out and Flower Travellin' Band! A great treat for rock fans looking for something a little different! A must! (JL) -

TOO MUCH (see also: Helpful Soul / Gedo) - TOO MUCH - Too Much - GER Black Rose Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Another great band from Japan! The album, released in 1971 by Japanese Atlantic, half resembles Blues Creation from the second album, that is, heavy, slightly bluesy playing full of attractive guitar riffs. The music is very clear, and the heavier moods are interwoven with calmer, at times even more art-rock passages (for example the 12-minute final track). The original vinyl costs nearly 2000 euros! Highly recommended! (JL) -
TOO MUCH (see also: Helpful Soul / Gedo) - TOO MUCH - Too Much - JAP Pressprice: 270,00 PLN / 67,50 EUR
Released in 1971 by Japanese Atlantic, the album is half like Blues Creation from the second album, that is, heavy, slightly bluesy playing full of attractive, guitar riffs. The music is very clear, while the heavier moods are interspersed with calmer, at moments even more art-rock passages (for example the 12-minute last track). A 2023 Japanese edition. -
VARIOUS ARTISTS - VARIOUS ARTISTS - Big Lizard Stomp! - UK Edition - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Throughout the salad years of the teenage American garage band era, a very similar scene existed in Japan. The second in this three-volume series does a great job of chronicling the most interesting sides from this oddball subgenre. REVIEW FROM THE INTERNET: While the bands collected here could easily play in the mid-'60s fuzztone guitar and Farfisa combo organ style at least as well as their American counterparts, many of them would try to sing in English. The consequent mangling of the lyrical text to any given selection into pure gibberish would produce the predictably -- but unintentionally -- hilarious results. That's the guilty pleasure of this entire series in a nutshell, and if you get the joke, this compilation makes great listening for '60s garage band mavens or lovers of audio perversion. -
VSOP - VSOP - VSOP - EU Eclipse Remastered Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
FIRST TIME ON CD! Unbelievable, but this debut album, released in 1973 by London Records, by a Japanese, completely forgotten and unknown (there is only one track of theirs on YouTube...) heavy-progressive band, has never before appeared on CD! Not even in Japan! Singing in their native language, the band harked back to the style of slow, heavy rock in the vein of Too Much and Blues Creation. The second side of the album came from a (superb-sounding) concert. Highly recommended! (JL) -
YAMASHTA, STOMU - STOMU YAMASHTA - Go Too - UK Esoteric Remastered Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The third album by the Japanese keyboardist and drummer, released as part of the "Go" trilogy. All three records are also often credited under the name of the group Go. This time, alongside Yamashta, appear, among others, Klaus Schulze, Al Di Meola, the vocalists Jess Roden (known among others from The Alan Bown and Bronco) and Linda Lewis and Michael Shrieve (the legendary drummer from the first Santana line-up).

YAMASHTA, STOMU - STOMU YAMASHTA - Seasons - Island Albums 1972-1976 (7CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Editionprice: 230,00 PLN / 57,50 EUR
A seven-disc box set from 2022, containing the albums recorded by the Japanese drummer and keyboardist for the Island label: "Floating Music" from 1972, "Man From The East" and "Freedom Is Frightening" from 1973, "One By One" from 1974 and "Raindog" from 1975, as well as the records sometimes credited as the group Go, the first of them as the trio Stomu Yamashta/Steve Winwood/Michael Shrieve - the studio "Go" and the live "Go... Live From Paris", both from 1976. Yamashta's music is very good, progressive, extended playing with distinct elements of jazz and should appeal to fans of such artists as Soft Machine, Nucleus, Can, Gong, Isotope or Gilgamesh, and even admirers of the first Skin Alley record. All the albums have been remastered, and the whole thing comes in a rigid box, with an attractive, 40-page booklet inside. Highly recommended! (MU) -
YAMASHTA, STOMU - STOMU YAMASHTA / STEVE WINWOOD / MICHAEL SHRIEVE - Go - UK Esoteric Remastered Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The first album by the Japanese keyboardist and drummer, released as part of the "Go" trilogy. All three records are also often credited under the name of the group Go, and this one as the trio Yamashta/Winwood/Shrieve. Besides the aforementioned three (Yamashta - synthesisers, percussion instruments, Winwood - vocals, piano, organ, Shrieve - drums), Al Di Meola, Klaus Schulze, Rosko Gee and Pat Thrall, among others, also appear here. Highly recommended! (MU) -

YANAGIDA, HIRO (see also: Food Brain / Apryl Fool) - HIRO YANAGIDA - Hiro Yanagida (2nd Album) - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
Japanese rock of the early 70s is one of the most interesting things I have heard, and Hiro Yanagida was probably the most important and most creative figure of that scene! Known from projects such as Apryl Fool, Foodbrain, Love Live Life + One and Shinki Chen And His Friends, the artist created very original, at times slightly crazy music inspired by works of classical music, the avant-garde, and above all British psychedelic/progressive rock. Like the debut LP "Milk Time", released in 1970, the album "Hiro Yanagida" (sometimes called "Nanasai No Rohjin Tengoku"), made in 1971, is genuinely very varied music (from heavy, thrilling rock all the way to classical-leaning miniatures) based as a rule on the sound of the Hammond organ and heavy, at times strongly overdriven guitar (the excellent Kimio Mizutani - I recommend his solo LP from 1971). This largely instrumental album is simply thrilling, although it goes down even better after several listens! Lovers of the first album will also be delighted with this album! A must! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
YANAGIDA, HIRO (see also: Food Brain / Apryl Fool) - HIRO YANAGIDA - Milk Time - EU Prog Gems Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
This is one of literally a few best rock records made in Japan in the early 70s! The debut of this Japanese keyboardist, released at the end of 1970 (recorded with, among others, members of Speed Glue & Shinki and Flied Egg), is genuinely very varied music (from heavy, thrilling rock to early fusion to classical-leaning, delicate miniatures) based as a rule on the sound of the Hammond organ, the virtuoso, melodic, yet warm sound of the violin and the heavy, at times strongly overdriven guitar of the excellent Kimio Mizutani (playing a little in the style of Can's guitarist), but there is also the sound of violin and even harpsichord. This entirely instrumental album (worth 1000-1200 dollars in the ultra-rare original on the Liberty label) is simply thrilling, although it goes down even better after several listens! And that splendid sleeve (with a copy of the original insert reproduced inside a gatefold booklet)... Great, clear sound - slightly better than on earlier editions! A must! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -

This is one of literally a handful of the best rock records made in Japan in the early 70s! Released at the end of 1970, the debut by this Japanese keyboard player (recorded with, among others, members of Speed Glue & Shinki and Flied Egg) is genuinely very varied music (from heavy, thrilling rock through early fusion to classicising, delicate miniatures) based, as a rule, on the sound of the Hammond organ, the virtuosic, melodic but warm sound of the violin and the heavy, at times strongly overdriven guitar of the great Kimio Mizutani (playing a little in the style of Can's guitarist), but the sound of the violin and even the harpsichord also appears. This entirely instrumental album (worth 1000-1200 dollars on the mega-rare original from Liberty) is simply thrilling, although it goes down even better after several listens! And that superb cover with a copy of the original insert reproduced inside the gatefold sleeve... A must! -
YUYA UCHIDA & THE FLOWERS (see also: Flower Travellin' Band) - YUYA UCHIDA & THE FLOWERS - Challenge +2 - FRA Absinthe Expanded Limited Press - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
Limited to 500 copies, a great-sounding and well-made European reissue, in a gatefold sleeve, of a classic of the Japanese psychedelic rock circle, released in summer 1969! The Flowers included, among others, two future members of Flower Travellin' Band!

In addition, two unreleased recordings from the same session ("Fire" by Arthur Brown and "Five To One" by The Doors). Highly recommended! New, sealed. -
