gvopedz Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Looks like Leon Thomas singing “The Creator has a Master Plan” with Santana (1974) is to be released: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MV3SPLJ/?tag=imwan-20 If anyone gets an advance copy, please tell us your opinion of the release.

felser Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I certainly like the original release of Lotus. Another album's worth of outtakes is sweet, if it doesn't break the bank. That being said, with that group, I prefer Leon Patillo on vocals (saw them at Atlantic City Raceway along with CSNY ca. 1975, and of course he is the vocalist on Borbeletta). I never thought Thomas was a good fit with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvopedz Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Has anyone had a chance to listen to this edition of Lotus? Any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 It's interesting but perhaps not essential. It's a Thomas showcase and he's a bit subdued here on this track. I like it, I'm glad to have it and the whole release is great sonically, and just overwhelming in the quality of the printing and presentation of the artwork. If I were to get this just for that one track. . . I'd be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'll have to get that one of these days. FYI, there's a better price here: importCDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulpope Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 The recent japanese "Lotus" release carries a sumptuous sound and the the artwork is no less than sensational .... (IMO) will turn into a sought after collector`s items in not too distant future .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 The 2003 CD reissue sounds plenty good to me, big jump forward from the original CD. As always, YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Sure. But this whole series of 7" SACD stereo/surround reissues sound amazing if you can listen to the SACD layer, and the packaging is amazing. And if that matters. It has become something that matters to me as my system improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
