Great Original copy of this dark-clad acid-folk psych album that reminds me of Bridget St John. 
Original copy that comes with 3 inserts, all with pictures and detailed lyrics. Dark, 
melancholic and ethereal female vocals. Stunningly great and getting rarer every minute. 
Released in November 1975. Will certainly appeal to fans of Comus, Asakawa Maki, Slap Happy 
Humphrey, Japanese psych heads and late night acid folk adepts. I cannot stress enough the 
grandeur of Morita Doji, just over the top brilliant. She retired completely from the music 
scene and public view at the beginning of the eighties and will never appear again in the public 
spotlights, so here is your chance to lay yer hands upon her melancholic, late night and utterly 
desolate sound spheres. Highest recommendation. One of the all time best female vox records to 
emerge out of Japan of all times!!
