What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[JSngry]

Mono. Beautiful sound.

and unlike the stereo version, it actually has "The Sky Fell Down" on it.

[jazzbo]

As does the cd version in the new box set from Pop Matters. (Mono track on otherwise stereo disc, and also three other bonus tracks).

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Yusef Lateef, 1984 (Impulse, orange and black mono)

Is this any good? Someone has been trying to sell a copy for while but I knew nothing about it.

Yusef Lateef, 1984 (Impulse, orange and black mono)

Is this any good? Someone has been trying to sell a copy for while but I knew nothing about it.

My least favorite Lateef Impulse! . . . but it's still worth listening to.

Yusef Lateef, 1984 (Impulse, orange and black mono)

Is this any good? Someone has been trying to sell a copy for while but I knew nothing about it.

My least favorite Lateef Impulse! . . . but it's still worth listening to.

I would say yes, it is worth getting. The group is good (Mike Nock on piano, Reggie Workman, and James Black on drum). I listened again:

Side 1:

1. 1984. The longest piece on the album at 8 minutes or so. This is kind of a free piece, with Yusef making weird sounds on miscellaneous ethnic instruments. I didn't think this one worked; on CD, I would skip this piece after one listen.

2. Try Love. Nice oboe and flute feature.

3. Soul Sister. A solid tenor feature.

4. Love Waltz. This is a Mike Nock feature for the trio. No Yusef.

Side 2:

1. One Little Indian. A sort of humorous piece; outside tenor playing on One Little Indian. Amusing a time or two.

2. Listen to the Wind. Tenor feature; intro sort of sounds like the title, then becomes more conventional. Pretty nice.

3. Warm Fire: A nice slow piece, featuring tenor.

4. Gee Sam Gee: Another slow tenor feature (even slower); real nice.

5. The Greatest Story Ever Told: Flute feature. Also a beauty.

So I find seven of the nine tracks to be quite worthy, which means a buy for me.
