The reason is that Musical performance of this record is by Golden Grapes, while on Shin Jung-Hyun sound vol. 1 album it was by Shin Jung-Hyun and his cambo band. All songs are nice Koreanized psychedelic sounds and you can understand that his great musical composition ability at this album."

Folkie Jin : "Golden grapes debut album / Enjoy the psychedelic party or trip. Prince record Normal Mint price over 1000$ Ultra Mega rare! This album is a great and masterpiece of Korean dark psychedelic rock music!!!!
You can listen to very rhythmical and powerful psychedelic sounds at this album more than any Korean sychedelic records. The color of psychedelic sounds are very deep and dark also the feeling are damply and heavy. In shortly this is a bad trip! ? I think that this is a Korean representative psychedelic record and his forgotten masterpiece!! So you have a big headache when the trip ended as smoke marijuana!!! This is a really dark and powerful also hallucinating psychedelia !!!!"

Radioshow comments : "Some late 60's psychpop with nice organ (at times Iron Butterfly-like to give some idea), male voice(s) with Beatlesque harmonic singing and psychrock drive, and some early 70's psychedelic rock. I especially like the fourth track : heavy rock with organ, harmonic vocals, electric guitars improvisation,.. Last bluespsych track lasts for 15 minutes. The album starts very, very slowly, with a blues-psych guitar solo and a the psych organ waiting to participate. It takes an almost 8 minutes before the musical rhythm changes, into a funkier mode, which is moulded into a psych repetition too, with some electric guitar, until, I count now 9 minutes, the organ makes it to a (really great) solo too. When the drum starts its solo the track is (sadly) faded out. Highly recommended album. Perhaps one of the best psychedelic rock albums from Korea."
