The more I listen to this the better it gets. That's all I could hope for from an album. Unearthed gem.

Repress is coming in the mid of december. Pre order on bandcamp.

I'm guessing that there are no differences between matrix numbers on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd presses? I for one am really glad that the label is taking this approach and seemingly pushing the incorrigible delinquents out of the flippers' market.

Direct from the label - they will keep pressing this LP while there is demand - 2nd press is 800 copies so should be easily available.

2nd repress is coming 20th of May 2019 as well as new LP available on bandcamp.

Sold out on bandcamp now too. Is there any UK/EU stores/discogs sellers who will be receiving this?

A future Holy Grail ! Somewhere between Gil Scott Heron, James Mason, Col Nolan Soul Syndicate Live or Matthew Larkin Cassell. This record never came out in the past, it's a first press. Perfect from start to finish. Amazing.

Whow! Smooth! Very nice mixture of different genres mixed together: Jazz, latin, lounge, funk, latin and a bit of cosmic-vibes. This one has sort of timeless ethereal sound, funny considering it was recorded in 1984. With those instruments and a sense of style, I guess you can't go wrong.
In some sense these songs sound like cuts from some odd 70's soundtrack LP.
