Are there any links for this post? My dad had this lp and I loved it.
This album was issued domestically on CD on RCA Novus in 1991. It was hard to recognize because it had new artwork and was paired with the John Carter/Bobby Bradford Quartet's "Flight For Four" on a CD called 'West Coast Hot.'

The opening cut is one of the most power pieces that I can think of from this period, itself brimming with Great Black Music.
Blythe on the opener is particularly memorable and moving.
Pity that this monumental work has been so totally ignored. But thanks for introducing it (and much other fabulous music) to me!
gulp. this is a killer!
Giant Indeed! thank you
FYI, this will be reissued later in 2014 by the International Phonograph label on CD with the original artwork. They did the Bill Dixon "Intents & Purposes" CD and the Hemphill "Dogon A.D." reissue, so it will definitely be high quality.
Clifford - thank you for the information.
Ladies and gentleman - I'll delete the links immediately.
For me it's clear - I will buy the new re-issue.
Hello, I'm a Tapscott's fan , can you reupload the others Tapscott's concerts in the site? Thanks

Clifford - that's good news, as I have the Bill Dixon and Julius Hemphill CDs that International Phonograph have issued, and they're excellent. I can't see any news, or details of future releases on their website - do you know what else they might do in 2014?
That is great news about the reissue! They just put out the Carter/Bradford session Flight for Four. I love that they're bringing back these classics.
