Mystery LP on Cadet

[Teasing the Korean]

I thought I was buying a Yusef Lateef LP on Cadet.

Turns out that Yusef Lateef labels, corresponding to the album cover, were attached to the LP, but the music is not Yusef Lateef.

To confuse things even more, the two sides of the record are not even the same album or band!

I believe that one side of the album, from my research and also from what my ears tell me, is a Harold Land/Bobby Hutcherson Cadet album called "The Peace-Maker," Cadet LPS 813. It has 4 tunes, and judging from the letter "B" in the dead wax, is probably side 2 of the album.

I'm having trouble pinpointing the other side, though. It is an organ groove album, 4 tunes, with organ, tenor, trumpet, guitar and drums. There are 4 tunes, and the second tune is "Tangerine." The other tunes are generally bluesy organ groove stuff.

It looks like the number scratched into the dead wax is either 1336 A or 1356 A, but then there is also the number CA 813? A, the question mark being a scratched out number.

I paid $3.99 for this, and am not taking it back. But I really want to know what the other side of the album is!

Thanks in advance!

It was suggested that this is Lou Donaldgson "At His Best," but from what I see, this album has piano and conga. The album side I have has tenor, trumpet, organ, guitar, and drums.

The first organ Cadet record that comes to mind is Odell Brown and the Organ-izers.

I have the "Mellow Yellow" LP. I did a search but cannot find any Odell Brown albums with "Tangerine" as the second track.

dude man isnt billy gardner/organ on lou "at his best", i thought?

[Teasing the Korean]

OK, I just checked Amazon for Lou Donaldson "Tangerine" and I heard the same version, with the organ, that is on this LP.

I guess the online discography is wrong, and I must have one side of Lou Donaldson "At His Best" with one side of Harold Land "The Peace-Maker" with Yusef Lateef labels in a Yusef Lateef cover.

What a fortuitous purchase!!!!

Thanks all!

Wow, what an anomaly. Imagine the circumstances which might have led to its creation!

Imagine trying to figure this out before the interwebz! I was able to solve the mystery in an hour or so!

My copy of Cadet's 'The Peace-Maker' (side 2) has 'WARS-5127, also #17115, also LPS-813, also S-2 in the deadwax, all handwritten.

Interesting. Was there more than one issue of this album on Cadet? It certainly sounds like Land/Hutcherson, at least from the needledrops I did. Are there audio samples of the album anywhere? Could this be a screwed up test pressing or something?

I know that these kind of "hybrid" pressings are common on Sun Ra's Saturn label (I've got one), but the one you've got on a major-ish label has got to be a rarity.

If it were a stamp you could retire tomorrow.

There seems to have been only one release from the Cadel LP. The album was reissued on LP and CD in Japan but no audio samples seem to be available on the regular download market!

Tenor?

Cut me some slack. I just dragged the album home and did a few needle drops before posting. I was expecting to hear flute, oboe and gongs.

How would you like your slacks cut? Do you dress right or left?

It's summer, and I tend to wear skirts.

[Teasing the Korean]

OK, definitely Harold Land. (Thanks Rotasi!).

The side of the LP I have starts with "Timetable," which is the first of four tunes on that side.

Can anyone confirm if this corresponds to the standard LP lineup?

[brownie]

The Peace-Maker' side 2 track list:

- Timetable 4:15

- Imagine 3:22

- The Aquarian 5:25

- One for Nini 4:57

[Teasing the Korean]

Thanks. This album seems hard to find. (I didn't even know about it until the other night). I was disappointed to not get the right Yusef Lateef album, but I'm kinda glad I got this one instead!
