Farewell To The Welfare

Now-Again reissues titles from the Tribe label, one of the brightest lights of America's 1970s jazz underground, and one of the most meaningful, local movements of the 20th Century Black American experience. Here we have a first time vinyl reissue of Tribe Records co-founder Wendell Harrison's lost album, recorded in 1975, rumored to exist no more. Mastered from the original tapes and lacquered by Bernie Grundman. 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. The booklet features never-before-seen archival photos and rare ephemera from Tribe's mid-1970s heyday.
