Catalog #:	ESPCD 5001

This new 5000 series reissues these classic ESP albums from the 60s, yet again. All in fairly cheap mini LP-style sleeves. Only the third time on CD from the Italian Abraxas group -- what the fuck are they thinking? "Albert Ayler's debut release on ESP Disk was cut July 10 1964, and remains a historical moment in avant-garde jazz. The first free-music record released on the label, Spiritual Unity defined the ethos of ESP as the quintessential free-music label of the '60s and '70s. This date presented the most challenging and agile groups Ayler ever lead -- the astounding trio of Ayler on tenor sax, Gary Peacock on bass and Sonny Murray on drums. This unit was in flames with the Ayler themes, Ghosts, The Wizard and Spirits. One of the most devastating and profound expression in avant-garde jazz, Spiritual Unity made history for Albert Ayler and ESP Disk as a vital and influential recording in American free- music and jazz. Original artwork." Limited stock of this deleted version.
