Ah I probably leave it on than. The sight of it annoys me a little bit….
yeah mine has the same sleeve but different labels. There were indeed two versions on Calumet. The Japanese pressing was first according to Discogs. That one seems to be even rarer. It was hard enough to track down this French first pressing.
This was the LP that got me into both Frank Wright as Noah Howard 15 years ago. Then as a MP3 file and glad to have a physical copy now it’s in pristine condition but the lamination comes off. Shall I peel it off or shouldn’t I?
Main problem with the bootleg version is that the horns sound terrible and heavily distorted so glad to hear that’s not the issue with the original. I’ll add one to my wantlist then. Will be able to buy one without a cover as the cover replica is well done.
Prince Lasha with Bobby Hutcherson, Buster Williams and Charles Moffett. Sound of this (bootleg) reissue really sucks. Anyone knows how the original sound?
Cool! I saw Billy is visiting Austria and Greece coming spring. I seriously considered to drive 1200 km to see him play in Graz or Wien but it’s just a little too far (it’s 2400km of course as I need to drive back as well). If he comes to play in Belgium or Germany I’ll go!
With all the gold Nimbus dug up for their recent Pan Afrikan Arkestra set one would think there might be more in the archives to make one hell of a Mosaic boxed set with only unreleased stuff. It would be great, with a nice booklet 😍
I think this is the case with some of the OJCs. Also got a few Soul Note and Black Saint albums that were actually CDRs. I did not return them as I saw it as my own (misreading) mistake but was pretty annoyed anyway
It was pressed by King records and sounds amazing. You must have the original India Navigation Clifford? Does that one also has that sound like you’re there in the studios? The interaction between Chico and Cecil is lovely
