Description

Creed Taylor is one of the greatest jazz producers in history. After his famed CTI label was forced into bankruptcy, he came to CBS Records and offered his newest CTI recording called "Fuse One." It was a short foray into the world of fusion using many of the great players from his original label: John McLaughlin, Stanley Clarke, Joe Farrell and Tony Williams.  This was only listened to by me at the time it was sent over, and I am not sure if there are tracks not heard on the released LP and/or slightly different mixes. This acetate has not been listened to more than once and is in near-mint condition.

Almost 40 years ago, I worked as a producer at Columbia Records. Much of the work was with the jazz roster--including the deep and illustrious history of this company through its reissue programs, "Contemporary Masters" and "Jazz Masterpieces." This acetate/test pressing comes from my personal collection along with any information I may have written on the jacket. In many cases, we cut several generations of masters before we (and especially the artists) were happy with the final sound. Mastering is a very important step in the final production of a recording session. In most cases, this is the only copy that was "cut," and it was passed along to executives and artists for their signed approval. The sale of this acetate does not include any inherent rights, nor are they imploied. The recordings and music are owned by the record label and/or artists. To commercially release this material would violate those rights.
