danasgoodstuff Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) In the notes to the Holy Ghost box (hours of fun that is) they refer to one of the selections by the quartet with Don Cherry as "tune Q" and go on to say in a footnote: This compostion has been mistitled regularly heretofore as "Saints" and as "Spirits", though both names already belonged to different recorded Ayler compositions by the time they were appended to it. What we refer to as "[tune Q]" is the same composition that appeared as the first track on side B of Spiritual Unity, ESP 1002 edition I, as distinct from the piece that replaced it on edition II. WTF?! Has anyone heard the Spiritual Unity edition I version of this tune and whyohwhyohwhy hasn't it been included in any of the CD reissues (or has it)? On a related note, is there someplace that explains generally about all the tune/name confusion in Albert's work? I love Ayler but this all getrs kinda confusing...

Chuck Nessa Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 I've been trying to sort this out since 1965 or maybe 64. Quote
