Catalogue # :  DB 104

This is an ORIGINAL pressing of a rare and excellent LP.  It was recorded in 1978 & 1980 and was the second one that Hammond put out on his Idibib label.  The song “What’s Happening Now” features an early recording appearance by Angela Bofill who went on to much wider acclaim in the pop world.  I own another copy of this beautiful record myself and I treasure it.  Not just one or two good songs, the entire record is a winner from top to bottom!

Tunes: SIDE A - “Pony Pone” (for Pony Poindexter); “Kone Pone” (for Eric Dolphy); “Togetherness”; “What’s Happening Now”

             SIDE B – “Perspicuity”; “Gatito”; “Folks” (Requiem for Steve Biko); “Dat’n”; “Concentric Dream”

Personnel:      Angela Bofil – vocals

                        Bessie Carter – vocals

                        Karen Joseph – flute

                        Alex Foster – alto sax

                        Byard Lancaster – alto sax

                        Marvin Blackman – alto & tenor sax

                        Muneer Abdul Fataah - cello

                        Hubert Eaves - piano

                        Cecil McBee – bass

                        John Loehrke - bass

                        Doug Hammond - drums

The vinyl is clean and shiny.  There are a few very minor marks that can be discerned upon very close scrutiny, but nothing of any real sonic consequence.  It looks great and plays beautifully.

The cover has some very light rub/ring wear on the front cover (nearly imperceptible).  There is a very tiny smudge (maybe ¼”) at the bottom right of the front cover.  No other writing, seam splits or stickers.

Ridiculously low starting price and no reserve!!
