Some words on this issue: TAJ MAHAL TRAVELERS: “July 15, 1972” (CBS Sony – SOCM-95) TOP copy, not even a spindle mark. Comes with always missing 2 inserts instead of one!!! Another totally “evaporated into thin air” original pressing up for sale of this all time historical milestone of an album. Top-notch copy. This LP here laid out before you was their first recorded sonic statement. Spearheaded by Kosugi Takehisa, the group recorded with an impressive array of instruments: electronic violin, oscillators, suntool, harmonica, sheet iron, vibraphone, electronic trumpet, vocals and a vast array of ring modulators. Kosugi and company deploy echo boxes with all the abandon of Eddie Hazel rocking a wah-wah pedal, lending the whole session a submerged, almost dub- like feel. Time seems to expand and contract as sound clouds drift across the stereo field like Chlorine gas presenting itself as a vapor and having its electrons raised into higher energy levels by a variety of excitations that will dispose its chlorophyll spores upon your eyelids and earlobes. You are in for a long ride. A classic and in TOP condition.

Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
