Vinyl reissue of classic 1972 Japanese hard prog-rock record. A must-have brilliant album! Housed in gatefold cover. Originals were housed in cardboard mailer-style boxes and are expensive these days.
Absinthe Records present a reissue of Flower Travellin' Band's Made in Japan - originally released in 1972. Following critical acclaim but meager record sales in their native Japan after their superb debut album, Satori (ASH 3002CD/LP), Yuya Uchida and his Flower Travellin' Band decamped to Canada following an invitation to open for local jazz-rock outfit Lighthouse. While there, Lighthouse leader and keyboard player Paul Hoffert offered to produce the band's next studio album, the ironically-titled Made In Japan, originally released in 1972, although it must be said, Hoffert's musical vision didn't always reflect the band's. However, Uchida was particularly happy with the results; although again, critical acclaim didn't translate into significant record sales and the band duly parted company following their half-live/half-studio release
