Has anyone else picked this up yet, def recommended if you are into the whole Don Rendell/Ian Carr 60s material

Two sessions previously assumed either lost or unrecorded, by Henry Lowther’s and Lyn Dobson’s mid-sixties groups. Considered one of the missing links in the development of British free-form jazz. The Group Sounds Four session includes Jack Bruce, who contributes an original composition never otherwise recorded. Also features Ron Rubin, Ken McCarthy and Jon Hiseman. With comprehensive notes by Duncan Heining concerning the historical significance of these recordings.

Single CD with liner notes by Duncan Heining. Strictly limited pressing run of 500 copies worldwide.
