Yes, a total departure from the wide range of music I have in my library of "goodies" but this Hare Krishna religious album is actually full of interesting Indian music even if the Hare Krishna message is not too familiar!
Hare Krishna is a branch of Hinduism, and originated from India. I remember in the 1970's, the airports, train stations and other places where people gather always had groups of Krishna followers, dressed in Orange I think it was, banging tambourines and reciting the Hare Krishna chant over and over.
I am not a follower of this religion but I do like to listen to all musical styles and instruments used. This album isn't just chanting (although there is a track dealing with the chant) but it was an interesting listen anyway (for me at least!)
Benediction Moon
No label mentioned
Cat# GAP002
Matrix codes indicate GAP-001 A & GAP-001 B
New Zealand release? There is no indication where this vinyl was pressed on the cover or the record labels. The matrix codes though are the same as the NZ release.
Gatefold cover is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits, no writing but there is small brown spot "here and there" which doesn't look like mildew marks, just plain old marks. The inner pages of the cover are all in English language and tell the story of king Prthu and the story of king Dhruva.
New inner clear plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected and I can see NO scratches or marks on either side. I then played both sides ENTIRELY, every single track, and there are no issues with surface noise or click/pops.
