This one will be appointed with an awesome leathery cover and comes in a strictly limited edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat do we know about this record? It feels like Syd Barret, Beatles, Twink, The Deviants, T-Rex, Tomorrow and The Small Faces got together for a boozy and smoky jam session out of which a handful of beautiful songs have emerged, ranging from straight, powerful beat tunes towards joyful flower pop anthems with a bubble gum edge with a layover at melancholic folksy singer\/songwriter sounds. What most people do not know is that the participating musicians are only partly British.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis album is the brainchild of renowned Japanese world music \/ ethno-jazz rock artist Osamu Kitajima, who later on went to fame under his own name with some extraordinary progressive albums in the later 70s. He spent a year in England around 1970 to 1971 and recorded this album under the monicker of „Justin Heathcliff“, to make the impression of a true British pop\/psyche record with a distinctive late 60s feel perfect. It might not have been a commercial starship around the time it got released, but it stood the test of time, and even nearly 50 years after its initial release this record still flatters our ears with songs of unearthly beauty on par with the above-mentioned English legends. More pop than alternative music of 1968 „Justin Heathcliff“ is a great soul journey to a brighter and more colorful time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is swinging London, not the apocalyptic hippie Utopia of Haight Asbury in late 1967, or the revolutionary street fights in Germany or France. This is music to comfort your mind and make you feel happy. It even goes back to 1966 when The Beatles did „Revolver“. For a 1971 release, this is already a retro affair despite only going back to elements that were five years old at most. It does not matter anyway, this is a masterpiece and Osamu Kitajima is a master of colorful UK 60s pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's All Sing Along\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou All Should Think More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand In Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhich Is True\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce It's Nice To Rise At Dawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost Are My Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Know What I Mean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Tiny Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Bye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Live In Peace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Makes The World Complete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Justin Heathcliff","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":42552976834751,"sku":"Everland Psych 002LP-BK","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/EverlandPsych002LP-JustinHeathcliff-JustinHeathcliff.jpg?v=1697584900"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-justin-heathcliff.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
