Although the music on this album was recorded in 1969 and 1970 (the same period, and with mostly the same personnel as the masterpiece Electric Byrd), it wasn't actually released until more than twenty-five years later. It's pretty great, even if it's not as psychedelic as Electric Byrd was (no spaced out dub effects here, unfortunately, though who knows if they might have been there if they had chosen to release these tracks at the time!).
After languishing in the Blue Note vaults for that extended period of time, the record finally received a proper release in the mid-90's as part of their "Rare Groove" series, only to go out of print after a handful of years. Excellent playing from everyone involved and some truly classic grooves make this a wonderful listening experience. Enjoy...
Kofi, not Lo-Fi
