hommage à Nesuhi

[mjzee]

Just started listening to this box, put out by Atlantic in 2008 and compiled by Joel Dorn.  Already, on side 1, there's something interesting: the track Listen Here by Eddie Harris is 7:42.  The original, on the album Mean Greens, is only 3:37.  No indication in the book that this is the unedited version, but it appears to be.

If I'm not mistaken, the longer take was recorded a year later and appears on The Electrifying Eddie Harris.

I see you are correct.  Ya learn something new every day...

Yes, and the Mean Greens version isn't an edit of the Electrifying version, although edits of the Electrifying version do exist.  And there are live versions of varying length.  And aren't some in different time signatures too, 5/4 versus 4/4, or am I imagining that?

I got the hit single 45 version, mastered gloriously hot and boomy as fuck for your favourite club's jukeboxing satisfaction.
