{"product_id":"naoki-zushi-iii-indie-exclusive","title":"Naoki Zushi- III (Indie Exclusive Vinyl) ( Vinyl )","description":"\u003cp\u003eWorld Of Echo announces the reissue of two remastered albums by Japanese guitarist and songwriter Naoki Zushi, 1988's Paradise, and 2005's III. Two classics of Japanese psychedelia, both Paradise and III were originally released on Org Records, the imprint of Shinji Shibayama of acid-folk group Nagisa Ni Te, with whom Zushi has guested on second guitar for decades. Both intimate and expansive, rich with revelatory songwriting and blasted, sky-scouring guitar, these reissues return these albums to print for the first time since the 2000s. It's the first time III has been officially released on vinyl, with an extra, previously unreleased track, \"Under The June Moonlight.\"\r\n\r\nRecorded in Kyoto's Townhouse Studios in mid 1987, Paradise emerged from a scene in Kansai, Japan that was embracing the idiosyncracies of 1970s singer-songwriters, the soaring solos of early seventies psychedelia, and the DIY impulse of 1980s post-punk. \r\n\r\nSeven years later, Zushi released III. Perhaps his masterpiece, it's already been bootlegged on vinyl, but this reissue is the real deal. The album was recorded at Studio Nemu over seven years, and sees Zushi backed by Shibayama (bass) and Masako Takeda (drums), his erstwhile bandmates in Nagisa Ni Te. By this stage, Zushi had started to really stretch out, and many of the songs on III swoon languorously, taking their sweet time to say what they need to say. It's rich with lovely, melancholy songs, in a similar realm to bandmates Nagisa Ni Te, of course, but you can also hear traces of everything from Syd Barrett's The Madcap Laughs, through seventies private press loner folk, to the slow-burn meanderings of the likes of early Low or Damon \u0026amp; Naomi.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 5055869551823 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New Vinyl \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; World of Echo \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 10.10.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420636225871,"sku":"5055869551823","price":7.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4452419-3439387.jpg?v=1775626916","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/naoki-zushi-iii-indie-exclusive","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
