This is a rare original copy of the excellent ZEN, GOEIKA & SHOMYO CHANTS LP by VARIOUS ARTISTS on Lyrichord Records (LLST 7116) from 1968.  A fantastic Japanese folk record!  The vinyl is in VG+ condition; visibly glossy and quite clean with a few stray light marks and some light, unobtrusive surface noise.  The cover is in glossy MINT- condition; opened, but still in original shrink wrap, as pictured.  Don't pass up a copy like this!
