Fujima Ripped/scanned by me. (NOTE: This is a raw vinyl rip for now. If you know where to get ahold of my DL links for the stuff I rip, I will eventually have a restored version of this LP available for DL on there in the near future. I will provide an update when it's ready) Alright, so....for some weird reason this is REALLY sought after. Hasn't shown up for sale in a while, and this seemingly goes for a couple hundred bucks. One thing that can be established for sure is that this is incredibly rare---wouldn't be surprised if that had anything to do with the expensive price tags for this one. I always thought the music itself had something to do with it, but....after listening to it I can wholeheartedly tell you that I REALLY don't think it justifies the high price tags on this. It's not bad, but tbh I def feel I paid way too much for this. Especially more so since the last track on Side B gets pretty nasty with those clicks (don't know if they're due to scratches from previous mis-use, but in any case it's going to take a while to get restored). Anyways I figured it was about time this sorta deserves a higher-quality vinyl rip online so here's a raw rip for now. Enjoy I guess.
