*300 copies limited edition* A lost jewel of 1970s Japanese psychedelia. Recorded by high school friends Minoru Sasaki and Masanori Nishigaito who spent their days rehearsing in a decrepit abandoned hospital, supported by their friends’ band Momonga. Self-released in 1974 in only 100 copies on the highly collectible Mountain Fuji Record imprint, most surviving copies have surfaced without jackets, further adding to the record’s mystique. For fans of private press psych and Japanese folk rock acts like  Tokedashita Garasubako and Itsutsu no Akai Fusen.

Reissued for the very first time, featuring the rare original cover, a replica of the original 8-page booklet, and new liner notes from the band. Audio restoration and mastering by 5-time Grammy Award-winner Michael Graves.
