about
Like so many other recordings, this was an unfinished work. It had originally been recorded at Delta Studios (so there is a multi-track hiding in the archive somewhere) but this recording is salvaged from cassette. Due to poor quality (tape drop out) a little repair work was necessary, but here is as much as I can give you and I hope you can forgive what I couldn't fix. Features the wonderful Elton Dean on saxophone and who'd want to miss that? Peter Cook also added sax, and I have assumed he's on this mix.
And before you ask, I left the end as it is to show we're all human and I didn't have the heart to remove it....

I am a big fan of Nucleus and Ian Carr, and nice to find it on the day I caught up with and interviewed Brian Smith, the saxophonist on this and other Nucleus albums. Some of the finest Jazz of this era. JazzLocal32.com John Fenton
