DISC: NEAR MINT with 100% of original gloss, as clean as can be found. Appears to have been played one or two times at most, and handled with care. Labels are clean. Fidelity is superb. A gorgeous disc you will never need to upgrade.
JACKET: Gatefold jacket is EXCELLENT with nice clean panels. Outer panels are clean and bright, showing some light ring wear. Light wear on seams, spine, and corners. Inner panels are clean and bright. No writing, stickers, or other issues. Overall a very fine jacket to accompany the excellent disc.
Review:
“Despite the title, this was not Albert Ayler's final album. Music Is the Healing Force was recorded at the same sessions (although it came out first) and a concert from a year later was released on two albums. In any case this date is a bit infamous due to the R&Bish material and a few throwaway tracks. Albert Ayler, an important avant-garde tenor innovator, plays bagpipes on a weird duet with the rock guitarist Henry Vestine, takes an odd vocal on "Desert Blood," backs Mary Maria's singing on "Again Comes the Rising of the Sun" and does what he can on a few passionate but weak instrumentals; Ayler sounds as if he had definitely lost his way. This album is of more interest for its novelty value and historical importance than it is musically.”
