Details: FLOWER TRAVELLIN' BAND's album "SATORI" is getting a reissue on white vinyl! Originally released in 1971, this album marked a significant milestone as the first Japanese artist's work intentionally tailored for international audiences. It made waves not only in Japan but also in the United States and Canada, where the single "SATORI PART 2" climbed to number 8 on the charts. The album's distinctiveness lies in it's infusion of Eastern and Japanese musical elements, a reflection of the growing interest in Oriental philosophy across Europe and America during that time. In the early '70s, Japan was transitioning from the pop-centric GS genre to a more folk-influenced sound, with rock still finding it's niche. Despite this, FLOWER TRAVELLIN' BAND garnered support for their pioneering sound, both at home and abroad, maintaining their popularity over the years. The album features: Joe Yamanaka on vocals Hideki Isima on guitar Jun Kozuki on bass George Wada on drums
