Vinyl available now at Juno Records UK for £49.99 !! Beautiful piece of music even on a CD, pressed at the Third Man pressing plant Detroit Michigan so should be solid!!

I’m going crazy and may drop a ridiculous amount of money on this LP soon. Any words of wisdom on a potential repress?

Great news! There's a new Roy Hargrove documentary that will be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022. Perhaps the renewed exposure will be an excuse for this album to finally be reissued in a wide, affordable release. Let us hope.

With the recent sad ing of Roy Hargrove, surely it's time to give this the repress it deserves???
