      Stomu Yamash'ta's highly sought-after album originally released in 1971 and has never been reissued since.

      Recorded live at Yamaha Hall in Tokyo on April 18, 1971, the all-night concert was recorded in front of an invite-only audience consisting of friends and musicians. Yamash'ta had Sotoh on keyboards along with Fluxus master and leader of the Taj Mahal Travellers Takehisa Kosugi on violin and Hideakira Sakurai on electric shamisen.

      Remastered from the master tapes with original gatefold artwork, obi and new introduction by Paul Bowler.
