Yes, recorded on 35MM film. Sound is very nice, as is the album, with some fine Charlie Shavers.

Chambers was pretty much young on everything - sadly only made it to 33.

hampton hawes is excellent on rhodes- blues for walls and northern windows.  this is not "throwaway fusion"- these are very thoughtful albums and hawes has a good rhodes sound

Agreed ! 

I love Hampton Hawes on the Gene Ammons Montreux 1973 Album, very fine rhodes Sound. He really could hold his own on Fender Rhodes and is underrated. 

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

that one too! yyyyyy!

[Rabshakeh]

Thumbs up for Blues for Walls from me too. I like it almost as much as Red Clay.

Interesting - I have that UK issue in a blue/white Liberty. A short-lived phenomenon.

Didn’t realise they were on Mortimer St.

I am curious to know what sets it apart from a US release. My copy is in US printed sleeve, so only the sticker reveals it as a UK release. Were these pressed in UK (though the VAN GELDER stamp maybe suggests they were not)?

From my recollection the sleeve is US but the vinyl indicates made in the UK on the label. A bit like the German Liberty LPs of the vintage. I’ll have to check but I think it is ‘Van Gelder’ in the runout.

These UK issues were definitely very short lived. In 1970 the economy was still doing OK. The industrial unrest and power cuts of 1972 onwards would have decimated budgets allocated to UK Blue Note shenanigans. Major own-goal.

Interesting, thanks for the trivia!
