Such a great press... completely underrated gem of the 70's.

HI,
Anyone knows how we can find out when this reissue was released first?
Is it more 1990's or early 2000? Or 1975 as well?

This entry seems to be the earliest label variation out of the two.

Original 1975 Fantasy release has slightly different lettering (spacing) & wording on the cover spine to the Fantasy re-issue - mainly 'Printed in USA' (The re-issue does not have this on spine). I will try to post pics to compare: Re-issue spine with orig. issue spine below it

The track "If Only I Could Prove To You" has to be one of the most sublime grooves I've ever heard, the strings are perfect, goosebumps everytime I hear this tune. If only it was longer.

This album has just been re-issued by BGP Records on CD. A Jazz Funk masterpiece of an album and just about impossible to get a hold of on CD until now. Produced by Donald Byrd and contains many absolute gems. Well worth checking out. A Jazz Funk collector friend of mine told me recently that this album used to sell for £200 a copy on vinyl back in the day. That is how good it is.
