Ann(e) Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival 1972 45RPM 8 LP 180g Vinyl Box Set -

Classic Records Reissue STILL SEALED

JUST DONATED BY MEMBER COLLECTOR

Hands down one of the greatest festival recordings ever!  Out of circulation for nearly twenty years, this great two-record set from 1973 was made available once again by Classic Records.  It’s a document of an incredible three days (Sept. 8-10, 1972) of powerful music, attended by more than 15,000 fans at Otis Spann Memorial Field in Ann Arbor Michigan. Hopefully, future re-examination of the Ann Arbor Festival 1972 will yield full sets by each of the participants, including those not represented on this LP, such as Miles Davis, Pharaoh Sanders, and Lightin’ Slim!  Classic Records approached this obscure and rare release with the idea that it deserved the best sonic treatment ever.  As such, the decision was made by Michael Hobson, founder of Classic Records, to cut the original two record set at 45 rpm** and issue it as 8 single sided 180g LP's.  Despite the effort to bring some new life to the obscure and rare title and amazing live performances, the set did not sell well adding credence to the notion that "obscure records tend to remain obscure."  This long of of print box set was mastered and cut by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood CA using Classic Records "ALL TUBE" analog cutting system from the original 1/4" analog tapes supplied directly from Atlantic's tape vaults.  LAST COPY! Bid accordingly as you are not likely to see this rarity sealed again any time soon!
