Description

Far East New Rock Invention 1969–1975 captures the moment Japanese rock stopped following templates and started inventing its own world - fuzzed-out guitars, freaked psych bends, proto-hard rock grit, and jazz-rock experiments that still hit with real edge today. Pulled from fully licensed Nippon Columbia masters and cut by Jukka Sarapää at Timmion Cutting Lab in Helsinki, this 180g pressing is built for serious listening: big low end, wide dynamics, and that raw “in the room” energy that made late-60s/early-70s rock feel dangerous and new.

This compilation traces the shift from the end of the GS boom into Japan’s “New Rock” era, spotlighting artists who chased freedom and volume as hard as their UK/US counterparts - Yuya Uchida & The Flowers pushing steel guitar through fuzz and wah, Flower Travellin’ Band going global, and the wider scene colliding with jazz players, rare groove instincts, and underground folk attitude. With track-by-track notes by Sally Kubota and a reverse board jacket, it’s a collector-grade document of a period that only gets more essential the deeper you dig.
