Hideo Shiraki Quintet + 3 Koto Girls "Sakura Sakura" LP on SABA (SB 15 064), Germany, stereo, 1965. Outstanding Japanese modal jazz album. One of my all-time favorite SABA releases. 

Tracks include: Sakura Sakura, Yosakoi-Bushi, Yamanaka Bushi, Matsuri No Genzo, Alone Alone and Alone, Suwa.

Vinyl is VG++ (minor surface marks not affecting play, very close to M-, clean labels). Gatefold cover is VG++ (minor ring wear, minor foxing, minor corner wear, minor edge wear).

Listen:

All records visually inspected and play-graded and will be shipped in sturdy record mailers. My scale goes: S/S (still sealed), M-, VG+, VG, VG-, G, F. 

Payment:


Paypal preferred. Personal checks only from US buyers with feedback rating over 100; item will not be shipped until check clears. Payment to be made within seven days of auction's close. I will send you an invoice at the end of the auction. If you have won multiple items please wait for my invoice because eBay checkout will probably give you an incorrect shipping total. Buyers with less than 20 feedbacks should contact me before bidding for approval or your bid may be canceled! I do not end auctions early.

I want the records to arrive safely and in the condition I sent. If you have any special shipping instructions, want insurance, etc., please let me know. Records will be securely packaged in vinyl mailers with cardboard stiffeners and with the record sleeved outside the cover in a polysleeve to prevent seam splits. I will make every effort to mail out your package within one business day of receiving payment, sometimes even same day.

Good luck and happy bidding!
