Mark Stryker Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 Did the three great mid '70s LPs by Sonny Fortune ever appear on CD? I loved these when I was younger but haven't listened to them for a long time. Got reminded of them today and wondering how they've held up. I need to find a moment to check them out again. Used to play the tune "In Waves of Dreams" ... also loved those Horizon gatefold jackets with lead sheets, transcriptions, mix diagrams, etc. Totally cool.

sidewinder Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I have all 3 of these LPs and they get regular plays. The Strata-East is particularly good. Edited April 13, 2012 by sidewinder Quote
JohnS Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 I have the Horizons too. I can't say I've played them recently. I'm not sure they hold a great deal of interest for me. I sold the Strata East a while back - how many Sonny Fortune's from this time do I really need! But yes, those Horizon's were beautifully packaged. Quote
Eric Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 Don't believe the Horizon lps have come out on CD. The three Atlantic lps from the 70s were reissued by Wounded Bird a couple years ago. Much better music on the Horizons however. Quote
Head Man Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Here's previous thread about the A&M Horizon label: A&M Horizon Label I still think it's a shame that the two Sonny Fortune's never got a CD release. Edited April 13, 2012 by Head Man Quote
