Description

[Machine Translation] [Osamu Kitajima Master Tape Series 8] The world famous album "Benzaiten" is now available in a deluxe edition on CD for the first time in 50 years! Japanesque progressive fusion psychedelic funk! After the success of The Ranchers, Justin Heathcliff and "New China", Osamu Kitajima pursued his own originality, studied the Koto and Biwa, and worked on the fusion of Eastern and Western traditions. Disc 1 is the latest remastering from the original master of "Benzaiten", and Disc 2 is the definitive version, featuring all the tracks from the original mixes and unrecorded tracks. Most of the recordings were made at Shibuya Jiangjian and engineered by Kinji Yoshino, with Haruomi Hosono's chopper bass shining through.
