For over three decades, the Stone Alliance’s debut album on Gene Perla’s PM Records has been a record collector’s commodity. An LP that evolved from the Rare Groove 1990s into a hallowed place in America’s deep jazz canon.
This definitive reissue 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 Perla’s arc in music, the creation and lineage of his PM Records and the story of the Stone Alliance band.
