This is a re-issue of one of my favourite Basho albums and I featured it in my first ever post (way back in June 2012). At the time, I only had a very distorted and wobbly cassette rip.

Grass Tops have been doing a wonderful job in the last couple of years re-issuing these albums. The sound, packaging and extra materials have all been excellent. The care, love and attention obviously coming from real fans. It's a shame to see that legal issues have got in the way of the physical release of their last two Basho projects.

Once it was announced that there was to be no release of this album, it was offered as a free download which has unfortunately also been removed.

Hello can u please put up again the download link for this Grass-Top remaster of Robbie Basho's "Bouquet" album? I would love to hear this new version of my favourite album of his! Impossible to find anywhere else! Also thanks for "Indian II", what a treat!

Hi, Bouquet is getting an official CD and LP release soon (https://www.lostlagoonrecords.com/category/cds-vinyl).
I think it'd be good if you took off your download link.

Cheers,

R.
