    What!? Amazing. Thanks for posting.

    Heavy, heavy line-up on this one… It’s pretty criminal that his 2nd LP has never been re-issued, Patty Waters is on it singing on a version of Ornette’s ‘Lonely Woman’… Berger and Sharrock together (!!) on this makes me think of Don Cherry’s ‘Eternal Rythm’ – except this one is more gritty, less hippie…

    BTW if anyone’s got a copy of his 2nd LP at a decent bitrate could you hook me up? It would be hugely appreciated. The copy I have is 128k and sounds like ass, I would LOVE to get it in a more listenable format….. You can get me at slowchimes(at)gmail.com….

    Yeah that’s the 128k one. I guess beggars can’t be choosers though right? I’ve never even seen a real copy of that one come up for sale….
