Probably won't sit well with spiritual jazz fans, but I think this is the best album White ever made. His first three were all very, very deliberate drum-free spiritual jazz without the passion and awe that genre's known for. Then he put out Father Music Mother Dance, a not particularly well thought out album with an actual drummer but also with tons of female vocals and distracting jumps between friendly jazz-funk and classier acoustic tracks.

Here, he finally brings the grooves properly. The ten minute opener, the closer, and A3 are all bangers. Kenneth Jenkins's playing some outrageous bass on most of these. Bob King's guitarwork is phenomenal, particularly on the opener, and his track The Lady Sirro is quite pretty if very brief. B2's been sampled a million times. The only track here that doesn't really work is the left-field blues shuffle of B3, but even that track isn't bad. None of these are.

1974 was one of the last great years in jazz. White wouldn't release another album for four years, at which point he put out The X Factor, an album with an astonishing lineup that I'm still fairly sure isn't going to be much more than "jazz in 1978." But this has the goods, and it's anything but cheesy.

Way worth finding, and more than deserving of a CD reissue.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD:

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  (WEAK) NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type),  vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

(c)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

COVER IS NEAR MINT

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has some tiny, faint writing on its back side (a microscopic price code written in one corner)

-         The cover has a small (1") razor-like line (cut) on the back panel, as if someone attempted to cut away the shrink wrap with a razor, but inadvertently left the mark on the cover as well. The paper slick is intact and no part is missing, but the razor line is visible.

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.   Yellowing is also noted on the INSIDE gatefold

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
