The reason you are seeing so many sealed copies is that some company reissued the lp on vinyl.

I do have to say i am a fan of both Joe Chambers and Larry Young, but i have always been underwhelmed by this album.

Didn't know that. I think mine is an original pressing, but I'll have to double check.

I think I know what you're talking about - I felt similarly at first, expecting something in the vein of his organ/drums duos on the Blue Note LPs, but once I got beyond that ...... pure musical poety.

Jim & Mike,

Seeing that i respect both of your opinions i got Double Exposure out and just finished listening to it. Sorry guys but my opinion has not changed.

The piano pieces could have just as easily been released on Windam Hill Records as a New Age album. Actually it probably would have sold more that way.

The two pieces that feature Larry Young just remind me of bands like Emerson,Lake and Palmer, alot of energy,but not much happening.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

lp,

Although Young is present on five of the six tracks, he only really solos on two songs. On the other four, Chambers is featured on piano with Larry playing a backup role on three, and Joe playng alone on the fourth.

You have to remember that this was a Joe Chambers album. The title of the album is a bit misleading IMO.
