Some words on this issue: SOMEI SATOH: “Emerald Tablet” (ALM Records – AL-23) Totally vanished TOP 1st original press copy of Somei Sato's excursions into vintage electronic music realms and minimalist trance inducing avant-garde. Released on the highly collectible ALM Records label, the music Somei delicately spins into existence is breath-takingly stunning and inhabits the same austere regions as Kosugi's “Catch Wave”, the 1st Taj Mahal Travelers disc or the electronic excursions of the young Yuasa Joji. Copies of this LP are quite scarce. Great vintage Japanese electronic music with a minimalist reductionist twist. All time highest recommendation if you are interested in minimal music, psych, avant-garde, vintage electronic music.

Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
