The record

Coryell threads rock-tinged fire through the vibraphone's cool glow on this exploratory RCA date, while Swallow and Moses stretch the rhythm loose and elastic beneath them.

Pressings

The earliest we list is 1967, and it splits two ways: a UK stereo, SF 7923, and a US mono, LPM-3901. The US stereo number, LSP-3901, appears in our data only as an undated reissue -- worth knowing before you pay original money for one. 1968 brought a German LSP-3901, a UK mono RD 7923 with a laminated sleeve, a Canadian LSP 3901 and a Japanese SHP-5719 on Victor.
