Albert Ayler on ESP 1002
This is the rare early P -pressing of Albert Ayler Spiritual Unity on ESP 1002. The playing surface has a high luster and shows no groove wear however, there are two inaudible scuffs/handling marks on Side A and six inaudible scuffs/handling marks/hairlines on Side B. It s strange for grooves that look so pristine have these surface marks. The silk-screened cover appears to be unique: two colors red and maroon on the front and back artwork, as if the printer was experimenting with various color combinations the seams have been protected with clean tape, since there are no detectable splits or wear, other than at the opening of the top and bottom seams. Personnel include Gary Peacock and Sonny Murray.
