    Great way out fusion from 1972. and a Great cover and is nearly as good as the music.
    One of the best early Fusion albums.

        This needs an audiophile reissue by the likes of Speaker's Corner, MFSL etc....

          I found a cover of this pressing, where the man on the cover is plastic and affixed to the sleeve.
