WEATHER REPORT Mysterious Traveller 1974 UK CBS 1st PRESS - BARELY PLAYED
WEATHER REPORTMysterious Traveller
UK CBS (CBS 80027) FIRST PRESSING (July 1974)
GREAT COPY - BARELY, IF EVER PLAYED AND DELIVERING SUPERB SOUND THROUGHOUT
Weather Report's fourth recording finds Wayne Shorter (on soprano and tenor) taking a lesser role as Joe Zawinul begins to really dominate the group's sound. Most selections also include bassist Alphonso Johnson and drummer Ishmael Wilburn although the personnel shifts from track to track. "Nubian Sundance" adds several vocalists while "Blackthorn Rose" is a Shorter-Zawinul duet. Overall the music is pretty stimulating and sometimes adventurous; high-quality fusion from 1974.

Plays beautifully throughout - some light surface/few ticks on some of the quietest moments on Side Two (and Side Two is mostly pretty quiet) - nothing I found too intrusive - sounds great
