Message From The Tribe

Vinyl LP pressing. Includes booklet. The Tribe founders' collaborative debut, remixed from the original mutli-track master tapes under the direction of it's creators and lacquered by Bernie Grundman. Phil Ranelin's side has been pitch-corrected and restored to a suite, as was originally intended. Wendell Harrison's side contains extended, full versions of two songs. The definitive reissue of this Spiritual Jazz masterpiece. Included in an extensive, oversized booklet, Larry Gabriel and Jeff "Chairman" Mao take us through the history of the Tribe, in a compelling story that delves not just into the history of the label and it's principals, but into the story of Black American empowerment in the latter half of the 20th Century.
