RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Discover the latest release from EXHUME EXHUME, a reissue project expertly overseen by FLATT THE LAIDBACK!
Originally self-produced and released in the mid-70s by members of the Knights, a light music club at Kitakyushu City University, "Knights Company" was a 2-disc set (LP + EP) sold in very limited quantities. This rarity, almost unknown even among connoisseurs, boasts high musicality, blending a black soul influence reminiscent of JAMES BROWN with a bluesy, melodic West Coast sound and AOR feel.
Decades later, its charm remains undiminished, shining brilliantly as ever. This miraculous masterpiece, born from the youthful dedication of northern Kyushu’s sharpest minds, has been reborn as a compilation album with high-quality remastering by 8ronix (Bullpen lab.) and an imaginative design by osagodard (browse depart/luminous body).
"Our miracle began with a single word from the late Otaki: 'Why don't you make an original and put it on an LP?' At first, we wondered if it was even possible. But gradually, our vision became clear. Over six months, we created our own music, wrote and arranged songs, practiced, recorded late into the night, and even pressed a vinyl record. The help from friends beyond our band members was unforgettable. I still can't believe we achieved something so extraordinary. Thanks to a special encounter, this LP has been revived for the first time in 47 years. This is our second miracle."
— Yoshio Nojiri (Gt.Vo.)

Let customers speak for us
from 30 reviewsI got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.
honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!
Beautiful packaging and lovely sonic excursions abound from this vinyl. Thank you !̦ Helix.
Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.
Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
Awesome addition to my collection.
Vinyl came in great shape and plays well!
