Some words on this issue: V.A./ ROCK ‘N’ ROLL JAM ’70 (Flowers, Mops, Golden Cups & Happenings Four): “S/T” (Express – EP-7744~5) Top Copy!! Original 1970 pressing!! One of the greatest Japanese psychedelic rock artifacts around but sadly enough impossible to lay your hands upon. This is a clash of the titans kind of record as far as Japanese psychedelic rock is concerned, stuffed with alchemical friction. Released in 1970, it sees the Mops, Happenings Four, the Flowers and the Golden Cups live in action as recorded in 1970 as part of a live super session. The 1st side opens up with compositions by the Mops and they already set the tone for the record to elapse in. Wailing demented fuzz guitar zooms in and out of focus, agitated vocals. Side 2 is reserved for the always-brilliant Happenings Four group. Grooving their way through a few cover tunes and getting assisted on some tracks by members of the Mops and the Flowers, the Happenings Four and Kuni Kawauchi again prove to be one of the finest bands of that era. Side three is reserved or Japan’s finest, the Golden Cups – again in various settings – and the sound they churn out is impregnated with a warm fuzz buzz and cool licks. But the real treat is of course the live showcase of the Flowers, spearheaded by Yuya Uchida and chanteuse Aso Remi. Psychedelicised with distortion and echo, desert fried psyched out drones of sitar evolving into transcendental rock; a roar of distorted, color-saturated wah-wah riffage and acid-frazzled fierce and idiosyncratic garage/psych, they spewed out wave after wave of fuzz-wah blitz guitar sounds. A desultory vortex of swirling sound, dillitated fuzz creating an existential vertigo. Bloody rare psychedelic artifact in top condition

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. 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.
