Don Cherry ‎– Brown Rice

I've had the same issue other people have had. The record was absolutely filthy, horrible quality control. It sounded fine after cleaning however.

It sounds ok, but 3 copies I have inspected didnt look that great. Perhaps a rushed job

This preordered LP just arrived yesterday and I was quite psyched. The music is fantastic, the pressing excellent. Far out Don Cherry at his very best. The only turnoff for me was the A&M Records sleeve design and liner notes. I would have much prefered the original EMI design - it suits the music and connects this record visually to the (also excellent!) Organic Music Society. The liner notes in this A&M Records version by Stanley Crouch stay on the surface of the music. It's a shame that these music critics can only explain rational constructs and systems but fail to dive into the music. Deep music like this deserves to be heard and lived, not just listened to and analyzed.

Anyone know anything at all about the mysterious Ricky Cherry?

One and only Original cover Cd issue !!! The rest uses non Original photo/design !

Delayed: it come out at the end of May 2019 !

Pressed on flimsy / thin vinyl, but who cares...it sounds great !
Good luck in finding one in top condition, because it's full of very, very low / soft passages.
Reissue to be had from 15.03.2019 from Verve !!!

Can anyone provide more information on this release? I understand it is an "unofficial" bootleg, but anyone know what the source material is? How does the sound quality compare to that of the original release? Thanks!
