RogerF Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 No, Gearbox is a vinyl-only label, but they usually are accompanied by a free download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) That's great news Roger ! Is this the performance where Nucleus won the jazz equivalent of 'Jeux sans Frontiers' - I recall reading that they had won the top band prize at Montreux one year. 2LPs as well - fantastic.

This was the same festival but not the actual performance which was Nucleus on their own. However, Leon Thomas does mention their achievement and prize (being sent off to the Newport Jazz Festival at short notice) in the introduction to the final track.
