Stone Alliance’s Deep Jazz Debut LP: The Definitive Reissue, With Bernie Grundman’s All Analog Lacquer

This definitive reissue of the 1976 release was lacquered in an all-analog transfer by Bernie Grundman, who removed the Dolby noise reduction and freed the space in the record’s grooves. Grundman himself said that this is the best that this record has ever sounded.

Contains an oversized 8 page booklet that details Stone Alliance founder Gene Perla’s arc in music, the creation and lineage of his PM Records and the story of the Stone Alliance band.
