Prince Lasha with Bobby Hutcherson, Buster Williams and Charles Moffett. Sound of this (bootleg) reissue really sucks. Anyone knows how the original sound?

@Pim listening to this now. The only issues I hear with the sound are due to it being a live recording - the drums and more so the bass is not so audible at times when the horns are in focus. Horns and vibes are crystal clear and foregrounded. Bass solo on side 1 is definitely quiet in comparison but still pretty comfortably audible and has clarity. Main issues I'd say are with balance between front line and rhythm section in ensemble parts.

Thank you for prompting this listen, it's a marvellous album. I have the other two as well so will have to listen to them!

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.

Never knew of Bobby Hutcherson on any Concord records!

Who produced those?

Yup.  They're pretty good records.  Not mind-blowing.  But solid.

Chris Long is listed as the producer for There Are Times and Carl Jefferson for Full Circle. 

Both albums feature the same rhythm section: George Cables (p), Jeff Carney (b), and Eddie Marshall (d).

 

[JSngry]

Eddie Marshall was always good!

Yessir. 

Both Marshall & Cables played with Hutcherson frequently, so the group sounds like a working unit.

Excellent .... btw never reissued on CD (any bonus tracks on the vaults ?) ....

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?

I had an ECM LP where the lamination was peeling, I removed it and I think that was a mistake as it left a cover with adhesive still there. Have you got a plastic sleeve you can place the LP in, with the remaining laminate still present?

Great album 

[clifford_thornton]

that's not too bad. I'd let the lamination be. If it was coming off in sheets I'd finish the job.

Incredible LP, too. Got mine maybe 25 years ago now, and the labels are solid red with black print. The sleeve has a flipback construction. I think the red label is "first" but they pressed so few of them I'd imagine the design switched mid-run.
