If you want to hear Oliver Nelson's contribution, you need to pick up the film version, released on CD by Quartet Records.

Such a beautiful record

I'm not sure, Jim.  I just checked, and Oliver Nelson doesn't get a credit on the album sleeve.  OTOH, no one is credited for the arrangements, so it certainly could've been ON.

Welcome! The film and album versions are completely different listening experiences.  The LP sounds like Gato; the film sounds like Oliver.

Unfortunately, the CD of the film version contains a lot of short cues with glacial pauses between. Even worse, some of this silence is embedded in the individual tracks.  It is like you are hearing the reference disc from which to compile an album.  It has zero sense of momentum or development.

So, I loaded the whole thing into ProTools, tightened up the tracks, and in some cases, combined related short cues to create longer tracks.  My version provides an infinitely better listening experience, but I was not paid, and I don't think it should be the listener's job to finish someone else's album.  Still, it was worth doing, in this case.

I'm wondering how iny mind that I've always had Oliver Nelson attached to this session as arranger. I don't see his name on the original LP, but... it's in Discogs, and maybe enenin the ZDB review? So where did his name get added?

Per https://quartetrecords.com/product/last-tango-in-paris/

 

The successful album released in 1972 by United Artists Records was in fact a re-recording made in New York with great musicians, and a real gem in terms of sound recording. It was first released on CD in the mid-nineties by Ryko, who added to the album about 25 minutes from the original film recording in mono (Varèse Sarabande reissued this same program a few years later). For this edition, we have been fortunate to find the original 8-channel multi-tracks with the complete original film recording, made in Rome.

Listening to all the material prepared by Barbieri for the film (orchestrated and conducted by Oliver Nelson)—an hour of music on 49 different tracks (of which Bertolucci used only about twenty minutes)—adds a wide perspective to this marvelous score heard for the first time in pristine stereo sound.

Next up:

Harold Ousley - The People's Groove (Muse, 1977)
Promo copy

Tenor & Alto Saxophone – Harold Ousley 
Trumpet – Gary Chandler (track A1 only)
Guitar – Bob Rose, Nate Stokes
Organ – Bobby Forrester (tracks: A2, B2)
Piano – Neal Creque (tracks: A3, B3), Norman Simmons (tracks: A4, B1)
Bass – Jay Leonhart (tracks: A3, B3), Ray McKinny (tracks: A1), Victor Sproles (tracks: A4, B1)
Drums – Al Dreares (tracks: A1), Jim Young (tracks: A3, B3), Steve Butler (2) (tracks: A2, A4, B1 to B2)
Congas – Ralph Dorsey (tracks: A2, A4, B1)
Percussion – Danny Barrajanos (tracks: A3, B3), Steve Kroon (tracks: A2, A4, B1)
Vocals – Edna Holt (tracks: A2, A4, B1), Holly Hamilton (tracks: A4, B1)

it looks like this LP was assembled from three sessions -- even though it doesn't have the feel of an "odds and ends" album.  Quite the opposite: I think it coheres very well.

No dates are listed on the sleeve, but it appears that Ousley re-used two cuts from The Kid! (Cobblestone, 1972) on The People's Groove.  Tracks A3 ("Me & Bobby McGhee," edited) and B3 ("The Kid!," identical) appear on both LPs, and the personnel is the same as well.  Per Discogs, Ousley recorded these two cuts on 03/28/1972.

Does anyone have more insight into the recording dates for the other five cuts on The People's Groove?

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

[clifford_thornton]

to be honest, I haven't spun it (my original) in quite a few years, so I need to revisit for some audio specifics.

A small but world class record store aka Red Octopus Records @ Wien imported from Japan and US heavily (or should I say heavenly ?) at that time .... those were the days .....
