Albert Dailey's 1977 album "Renaissance" w/ Carter Jefferson

Just discovered this via YouTube in the last 48 hours.  What a date!  Not really what I was expecting.  Love the wordless female vocals -- well "love" is a little strong -- but I like where their inclusion takes the date to a whole 'nother sort of place (at times).  Wish this was on CD (discogs doesn't seem to think it's ever been reissued).  And Carter Jefferson really goes for broke.  I mean, I knew he could play (from all those dates I have him on with Woody Shaw, primarily, and on a few other things).  I think(?) the whole thing is up on YouTube, but not in a playlist (nor from the same user/uploader either).  I'll try and post the whole thing here in this thread.  Meanwhile, a couple discographical sources...

There seems to have been a recent (2019) vinyl (alas) reissue of this album — with a hype-sticker that makes me think it might actually be a legit reissue. Might have even been some sort of Record Store Day sort of thing (not sure).

Anyway, I sure wish this would get issued on CD. I’m not beyond buying things on vinyl, but usually only as a last resort (or only if I happen to see a really cheap LP copy, like for $10 or less).
