Description
Vinyl pressing of Benzaiten by Osamu Kitajima on the U.S. Antilles label from 1976. When I first saw this I had to have it just for the ultra cool homemade looking front cover art. I figured it might be some interesting folk too so I paid what they wanted. It turned out that this is actually Japanese psychedelia that is different but in a really good way. Osamu can really play the electric guitar too ! Anyway, modern as well as traditional Japanese instruments are used & they work together very well. You have to hear it for yourself & see if it's what you're into. I personally love it. The third song on this l.p. is titled "Tengu". It has been comped on a Various Artists L.P. titled Ongaku 70 - Vintage Psychedelia In Japan 1969 - 1978. The cover of this l.p. is EX. Minus & the vinyl is VISUALLY Near Mint. Below are links to all 5 songs, song titles & musicians & instruments.

( I ship on Saturdays. If you pay me after 1:30 p.m. on a Saturday, your l.p. will not be shipped until the next Saturday.)
Leave me feedback and I will return the courtesy. Delivery confirmation is a must and is worked into the cost of shipping. I accept Paypal only. Gold, precious stones and your first born can be negotiated. If paying by Paypal, payment is expected within 3 days unless other arrangements are made. Insurance will be provided upon request and is to be paid for by the customer. My overseas customers are very important to me and have given me a lot of support. However, I cannot be responsible for uninsured packages. I do pack well and in a professional manner with standard record mailers. I also place a cardboard support inside the mailer for protection and to help prevent any bending. Records are removed from their covers and both are placed in a protective, clear plastic outer sleeve. It's a tried and true method that has never been improved upon. I do offer refunds if the item you won is not as described. I ship every Saturday.
