Egon and Madlib visited genius Champagne grower/vintner Jerome Prevost of Champagne La Closerie on their last visit to France. Radio Nova was there to document the proceedings, which involved comparisons of music to wine and vice versa, naturally, free jazz and the Freddie Gibbs and Madlib album Bandana.
Free Yourself, a Now-Again x Vinyl Me, Please release, was the latter’s May 2019 Record of the Month.
We are also offering limited runs of four key Juju/Oneness of Juju titles with Vinyl Me, Please, including a previously unreleased album recorded at the legendary Brooklyn jazz venue The East.
All albums were lacquered by legendary engineer Bernie Grundman from the original master tapes.
Each album comes with an oversized 12″ x 12″ 12 page full color booklet detailing the story of each album and the Black Fire collective and showcasing dozens of unpublished photos. A variation of each of these albums will see public issue via Now-Again over the course of 2020.
