This is the first and only time that this GREAT album from 1970 has been reissued legitimately and also it was extremely well done.
"Vinyl audio remastered & cut from the original master tapes by Gearbox Records. Flip-back LP sleeves on 380g heavy card, front laminated sleeves with 12 x12 insert with new liner note insert."
Completely wonderful, extremely rare, 1970 Brit-jazz album, which was Harry's first under his own name and originally released on Phillips. This features a just unbelievable band of Brit-jazz talent.
There's some great themes and some great solos. And I just love the sound of John's over-driven Wurlitzer (then again, those things are ALWAYS overdriven!). And the front line of Surman, Skidmore and Osborne...3 years before S.O.S.! OMG! Those were the days!
