Hopefully they will do the other ones, Billy Harper, Archie Shepp, at some point too.

So is up for pre order on a Dutch website

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.

just noticed that the cd set is available for preorder on amazon:

And, also at Dusty Groove.

Yes! I pre-ordered last week.

[felser]

That's great news, thanks for the heads-up!  Pre-ordering now!  Now if we could just get the Archie Shepp and Nathan Davis ORTF sets on CD.

Is this available as a download anywhere.  The site appears to be the older version with just the 6 tracks?

I found this and now own it.  But I would have preferred a download (HD if possible).

I am tempted to buy the 2lp.

If anyone bought and has listened to the records, how is the sound quality?

I would appreciate Elemental using period images of Pharoah, rather than shots from the 1960s...
