I was introduced to the Flower Travellin’ Band a few years ago with a copy of this LP. The only disclaimer that came with the introduction was that Satori was the only really good FTB album and that I should avoid all the others. I dont know if thats totally true or not because I havent check out the others, but I can confirm that Sarori is awesome!

I just read last week that Joe Yamanaka the singer passed away after a battle with lung cancer. Not only was Joe the singer for FTB, but he was also an actor in Japan and after becoming a good friend of Bob Marley, Joe became the singer of The Wailers after Marleys death.

All that being said if you like weird psychadelic 70′s rock with a pinch of oddity and maybe even a little punk you should definitly check out Flower Travellin’ Band. Either pick up this awesome original Japanese press or one of the more recent re-issues and you wont be sorry!

wanganway has a bunch of other auctions including some other cool Japanese issue records so check them out!
