J.A. Caesar's "Border Pilgrimage Song," a timeless masterpiece that shines brightly in the history of Japanese psychedelic rock and heavy rock, is finally being reissued on vinyl!
The "J.A. Caesar Recital," held over two days on February 3rd and 4th, 1973, at the Nippon Seinenkan Hall, is a condensed collection of his finest performances. Its rich content and the unique worldview expressed in the jacket illustration mean that its value remains undiminished even more than 50 years after its release. It is truly a compilation of Caesar's early work and a pinnacle of the early days of Japanese rock.
Influenced by progressive rock and psychedelic rock from the UK, US, and Germany, this album's unique sound, which also incorporates plenty of Japanese elements such as nursery rhymes and folk songs, has long been immensely popular overseas.
This long-awaited analog reissue features a brand-new 2026 remastering by Soichiro Nakamura (Peace Music) and a wrap-around obi strip based on the original first edition's obi.
