YAQUB MALIK "YAQUB SPEAKS" (THE HOUSE OF YAQUB, 1980)
Yaqub Malik (formerly Mack Spears) .... who at 19 was chosen as the successor to Charlie Parker & shared the stage with Bud Powell, Duke Jordan, Elmo Hope & even the legendary Miles Davis....
About six years ago I got this rip from another blog. I don't remember from where. Probably it was El Reza's old blog.
But this rip is in flac (I checked it) and not in mp3.
However - thanks to the original uploader and for the LP rip.
Two weeks ago I visited a friend in Potsdam (near Berlin). During the two days of my visit he got the LP.
We listened to it and I've again enjoyed especially the first track on side A.
But the whole LP is thoroughly enjoyable. This is how I was reminded about the files on my pc.
I've removed manually a few clicks and one heavy point of blasting - that's it.

Many thanks for this improved version,Onxidlib !
I didnt expect anymore to see the whole album, there were a couple of tracks around some years ago that caught my attention, many thanks
The last track contains some very distracting (yet enticing) sounds of a woman, are these part of the original recording?
Thanks anyways for this interesting album!
Yep - the woman's sound are part of the LP and do not fall in my responsibility ;-)
Cheers
Great stuff, quality sound!
Really diggin' this. Thanks, man.
If the sounds are enticing, then I would not say they are distracting :-)
Maybe distracting from the seduction (inveiglement...) :-)
This album has a permanent place on my iPod. Thank you for an upgrade.
Many thanks
Thanks Ernst!
