Jugatsu No Ame

Independent shop in BallardDirections

Available from Light in the Attic Records when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

A lost jewel of 1970s Japanese psychedelia. Recorded by high school friends Minoru Sasaki and Masanori Nishigaito, who spent their days rehearsing in an abandoned hospital, supported by their friends’ band Momonga. Self-released in 1974 in only 100 copies on the highly collectible Mountain Fuji imprint. Most surviving copies have surfaced without jackets, further shrouding the record in mystery. For fans of private press psych and Japanese folk rock acts like Tokedashita Garasubako and Nobuyasu
