Herbie Mann, Hold On I'm Comin' (Atlantic)

Quad, State Fair, Tent, Sonny Sharrock, Fathead, have flashbacks of all of that EVRY time I see this record.

And I don't mind, not at all!

This band played the State Fair of Texas in Fair Park?

[JSngry]

Nah, there was a big tent set up to demo quad sound. Probably some hi-fi dealer, you know how big that used to be back then. Total State Fair concept, sell it at the fair, lol.

That was their demo record of choice, on an 8-Track no less, IIRC. It played in a loop for hours on end.

Go figure THAT.

Not a bunch of records with the 3 Bowie brothers.

I have an old copy of that - have the feeling that it is on the ‘GI Records’ label.

My "new" LP is a Japanese Victor too.  Found it for a reasonable price on discogs -- in the U.S., so no big shipping fees either.

Indeed!  And don't forget Andy Gonzalez, Jerry Gonzalez, and Steve Berrios -- the "Fort Apache Band" contingent.  

One helluva band, for sure.

It was one of the very first CDs I ever bought - in the long box. Liked it so much that I eventually bought the vinyl !

There's a Japanese CD of this that includes extra material that may or may not add value to the LP. Still trying to make up my mind on that one, as the OG LP imprinted a few decades ago.

I love how you can tell what period of Sonny the record or video is by his wardrobe. I don't think people talk about that, because, you know, clothes/wardrobe is "superficial" or "materialistic" or some such, like it's not an organically relevant part of the presentation, to which I say, THE HELL IT IS!

and to everybody else, I say, Good Morning!

As far as wardrobe goes, people talk about Hendrix's "hat period" and his "headband time."  Why can't we talk about Sonny's silky 70s shirt?!?! 

And what about the HATS?  Sonny can pull off a chapeau as well as anyone.   

 

 

 

The man digs his hats!

 

[JSngry]

Hats, definitely, YES!
