Doesn’t look legit to me. Any idea if it could be?

The engineer doing the mastering, Matthew Lutthans, has done legitimate projects that are praised. . . that's a good sign.

Love Pharoah, but just LP only still. Mid-seventies Pharoah may be a strange, hit-or-miss-sounding bag, mixed with post-Trane, and easier listening. Weird, how bol. seems to be using Impulse! era photos (front side of the gatefold looks like it's from Tauhid '65 and the backside looks like Karma era '68 or '70).

Be curious what others think when you listen to this record.

That’s not bol.com using those photographs this is the actual artwork used by the label…. I’ve got a part of this session on the Disques Transversales label which was legitimate and from the tapes. It’s one of my favorite Pharoah Sanders sessions so curious to hear the rest but if this is a bootleg I”ll pass.

It always bothered me, too much probably (I sold it on), that the Disques Transversales releases featured edited performances on some tunes. If this set is legit and rectified that I could be interested

Thanks, Pim. That address was posted here, and I got confused. Wish there was a CD release, but alas.

Yeah I definitely agree. In my memory at least the tracks were complete where with the Shepp release they even cut them off. That really prevented me from getting it because that’s also a very interesting session.
