      Very unusual jazz record, standard trio accompanied/interspersed by a string quartet. Very well recorded, great mastering, it sounds fresh and on pair with today's reissues. The vinyl is quite thin and aligned with pressings from early eighties, my copy weghies about 130 g, not 230 g as stated in the notes. The 23 minutes track on the b-side completely fills the available space almost up to the label.

        Inner sleeve has 2 sided reprint of a Robert Osterman piece from 1965 : The Moody Men Who Play the New Music, which has photos of Taylor, Peacock, both Aylers, Byron Allen and Milford Graves.
        Labels are blank white. Jacket is textured heavy stock.

          It's not correct to list this version as a 1st pressing from 1965. The 290 West End Ave address for ESP printed on the label is, at the very least, the 4th pressing of this LP. (ESP was at this address from from 1973-1975.) Other known ESP addresses for this LP are 180 Riverside Drive (1964-66), 156 Fifth Avenue (1968-9) and Acorn Hill House, Krumville, NY (1969-72). And since Ornette was one of the most well-known artists on the label at the time of this LPs release, it would be hard to believe that only 1 run of 500 copies were made of the LP at each of the four addresses.

            Great live session and I've only tackled the first side so far. Tracks A1-A2 absolutely smoke and I love the sort-of "chamber" avant track A3
