白石フォーク街 (Shiroishi Folk Street) – お元気ですか (How Are You?) (full album, private press)

genre: contemporary folk, folk rock, psychedelic folk
year: 1974
label: Apollo (Y.T.R-534)

a particularly unknown lo-fi private press from Apollo Records, a private label who pressed their records with the particularly notorious Tokyo Recording Company, whose pressing quality was seriously substandard compared to other pressing plants of the time. as a result, this record has a lot of surface noise and crackling that was very difficult to get rid of. i've taken out a majority of its crackles, but the surface noise is impossible to manage, so this is the best i could do. as for the music material on this LP, it's mostly contemporary/psych folk with some folk rock tunes. at the back end of both sides are psych folk rock monsters, especially the B-side's. i was pretty lucky to come across something this cool, if only a different pressing plant was used for this one.

this is where i'd tell you to support the artists but you literally can't. just enjoy the music, that's as much as we can do :')
