People – Ceremony ~ Buddha Meet Rock Label: Teichiku Records – SL-1368 Series: Lover Creation Series Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo Country: Japan Released: 1971 Genre: Jazz, Rock Style: Psychedelic Rock The Ultimate Masterpiece of Japanese Psychedelic Rock A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity. We are proud to present one of the rarest and most sought-after records in the history of Japanese music: People – Ceremony ~ Buddha Meet Rock, released in 1971. The Concept & Music Masterminded by the visionary producer Naoki Tachikawa—a key architect of Japan's counter-culture and avant-garde scenes—this album represents a singular, daring experiment blending "Buddha" and "Rock." ・A Visionary's Work: Tachikawa orchestrates a soundscape that transcends genre. It is a mystic journey connecting this world and the afterlife, featuring Buddhist sutra chanting layered over intense psychedelic rock, spiritual jazz, and heavy breakbeats. ・Legendary Lineup: The vision is executed by a legendary lineup led by Yusuke Hoguchi (Out Cast), featuring renowned guitarist Kimio Mizutani (famous for A Path Through Haze) and percussionist Larry Sunaga. ・Global Potential: While it stands alongside Minoru Muraoka’s Soul Bamboo, this album has remained a "sleeping giant" due to its extreme scarcity. Its true reputation is still expanding as the global audience finally begins to uncover this hidden masterpiece. Condition & Rarity: A League of Its Own While the album itself is a "Holy Grail," this specific copy is a true museum-grade archival piece. ・Complete with Original OBI: For serious collectors of "Wamono" (Japanese records), finding this album is difficult; finding it with the original sash (Obi) is nearly impossible. ・Extremely Rare Supplement Slip: It comes with the Supplement Slip (Hoju-hyo / Replenishment tag) intact. ・The Verdict: Finding it with the replenishment slip intact is a miracle. Market Value & Scarcity (Investment Grade) ・The "Hidden" Gem: Because virtually no copies circulate in the open market, the true value of this work has arguably not yet reached its peak globally. It has been a secret shared only among the absolute elite of collectors. ・"Unobtainium" Status: In the world of high-end collecting, this item is considered "Unobtainium." Seeing a copy appear is an anomaly. #lesinrocks
