"Volume 2 out of 11. This is the last recording with Jesse Sharps as the bandleader before he left for the Army. An incredible afternoon of music and a fitting 'Departure' for a Jesse, a true pillar of the '70s Arkestra. Macrame was originally released in 1979 on the IUCC 2LP; it is presented here, in a raw transfer of the master reel. Mykowski's 1st Fifth is nothing but pure fire with those blistering solos by Sharps, Session, and a very special reading by Kamau Daaood. The take of Stanley Cowell's 'Departure' is sure to wake the neighbors and drive away evil spirits. The Arkestra would never be the same."

"This 2-disc set documents a legendary concert at the Immanuel United Church of Christ -- June 24th, 1979. This is the sixth in a series of eleven recorded concerts from the Immanuel United Church of Christ! This month features the longest recorded version of the 'Village Dance,' also a lovely version of 'Many Nights Ago' featuring Linda Hill on vocals. The only previously released track is 'Noissesprahs', but taken direct from the master reel it has a new depth and sense of space."

"Recorded in October of 1983. Horace Tapscott accompanied by only flute and sax, a sparse and beautiful album containing some of Horace Tapscott's best playing (the Tapscott solos are among his finest on record). Two sidelong tunes. Cut directly from the original master tapes. Tip-on sleeve. Insert with photos of Kafi Roberts (sax) and Aubrey Hart (flute) and a new essay by Mark Weber."

"First official Nimbus vinyl release of this classic album. LP cut directly from the ½" master tapes, this is, without a doubt, the definitive version of Sharps and Flats ... the sound is akin to sitting in the control room while the band recorded, very detailed and deep in presentation and articulation. One of the very best (and also very last) studio recordings that Tom Albach undertook in the USA for his Nimbus label... this album sat in the vaults for many years before a CD was issued in the early 2000s. (Unfortunately, the CD and subsequent versions were sourced from a dubious DAT transfer which was four generations removed from the master tapes (at best).) This is really the first opportunity to hear the album as it was originally intended... Featuring a tip- on sleeve with session photos and a great shot of Jesse from the original cover shoot, and an insert with a new essay by Mark Weber. Originally recorded in 1986. Features Nate Morgan and Horace Tapscott."

Sold out. Repress possible in 2022... "Amazing 3LP set. The Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra on fire in 1979 in a complete two-hour concert. Super intimate and raw -- like sitting in the front row of this small club 41 years ago. Cut directly from original master tapes with no digital process whatsoever. Gatefold tip-on sleeve, and a replica of the original concert flyer, featuring archival photographs and a beautiful essay by Mark Weber."
