Japan 24-bit, 96 kHz remastering, "Best 50" series. Miniature LP format. All original liner notes and art duplicated exactly. I originally purchased this recording on vinyl in 1969. At the time, I did not know there were 2 versions of the recording. Both Ascension 1 and 2 are on this CD. The vinyl version also suffered from the fact that the 40 minute long composition had to be spread out over both sides of the record, breaking up the flow of the music while the LP was flipped. The second take only became available when CDs were introduced. I believe the recordings were made in Rudy Van Gelder's Englewood Cliffs newly built studio. This is a complex piece of free jazz, but is not unpleasant and noisy. Pharoah Sanders, Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, Archie Shepp, Marion Brown and Dewey Johnson comprise the great orchestral sound of this music. This is an expensive piece, but don't make the mistake of thinking a US version will have the clarity of this beautiful Japan Import.
