The first Mahavishnu Orchestra's original very slim catalogue was augmented by this live album (recorded in New York's Central Park) on which the five jazz/rock virtuosos can be heard stretching out at greater length than in the studio.
There are only three selections on the disc, all of which were to have been on the group's then-unissued third album -- two of them, guitarist John McLaughlin's "Trilogy: Sunlit Path/La Merede la Mer" and keyboardist Jan Hammer's "Sister Andrea," are proportioned roughly as they were in their studio renditions, while the third, McLaughlin's "Dream," is stretched to nearly double its 11-minute studio length.
Each develops organically through a number of sections, and there are fewer lockstep unison passages than on the earlier recordings.
McLaughlin is as flashy and noisy as ever on double-necked electric guitar, and Hammer and violinist Jerry Goodman are a match for him in the speed department, with drummer Billy Cobham displaying a compelling, raw power and dexterity to his work as well, which also gives bassist Rich Laird a showcase for his slightly subtler work
Side 1:
Trilogy: The Sunlit Path - La Mere De La Mer - Tomorrow's Story Not The Same (12:16)
Sister Andrea (8:37)
Side 2:
Dream (21:26)
LABELS: MINT
An immaculate set of labels with no spindle traces or any sign the record has ever been played
VINYL Visual: MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new and even under bright light there is barely a wispy hairline to be seen
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays as-new throughout - an odd one-off static tick noted - nothing really but I must stress I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins - great copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from a little storage wear - a little ring and bottom edge rub - the cover is crisp, clean and sharp with all spine text clear and bold
POST & PACKING:
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
