The Grail & The Lotus

Official reissue
The Grail and the Lotus was Basho’s 2nd release for the Takoma label (1966) preceding the wildly prolific year of 1967 that produced 3 absolute classics with the Falconers Arm sets and Basho Sings. Supposedly the thematics of The Grail and the Lotus came to Basho while recovering from a feverish bout of pneumonia, and in that state Basho envisioned and expressed a simultaneous glimpse of the Feudal Age, European and Japanese evocations side by side, both co-mingling with Knighthoods in Flower
A truly outsider take on the American primitive genre, The Grail & The Lotus is finally re-issued for the first time on vinyl 50 years after its initial release.Beautifully re-mastered
