Obscure Heavy Psych/Heavy Rock/Proto-Metal

[mobiusclimber]

Nice find, I hadn't heard of Samurai! The only Japanese proto-metal band I can think of off the top of my head is Speed, Glue & Shinki. I'll have to keep thinking about it, I'm sure I know others, but just not sure when they put out albums.

Oh and of course, Flower Travellin' Band who cover the song "Black Sabbath" on their second album, and unleashed this beast, Sartori, on the world in 1971:

Combing thru relevant records, discovered this, only on cassette though.
Just love this with a JM Jarre flourish.

Far East Family Band Parallel World.
(The Sadistic Mika Band are one to suss out, a Harvest fave)
