MAARTEN ALTENA "TUNING THE BASS" (ICP, 1975)







Another gem by N. - say thanks to him.
I haven't tracked the rip - it is partly not clear where one title ends and another starts...
Apart from removing some clicks I have left this very good solo recording by Maarten Altena as I got it.

Praise to the gods! This album has occupied, unchallenged, the No. 1 slot on my Wants List for well over 30 years.
