I love Third World War. Is this more of the same?

It's a bit bluesier but deffo in the same vein. More info here and a link to a Terry Stamp-approved download.

Another great, if obscure, band sorely under-represented on streaming services.

Agreed. I'm having a bit of an Ollie Halsall moment. Tempest next...

Awesome. Cheers. It's a very rare and pricey record otherwise.

Yacht-tastic.

I always thought the cover was redolent of a Neil Young album.

I have had the Tone Poet since it came out. Much better than than an earlier version I have. The pressing is flat and quiet, but their is quite a lot of mike overload distortion in places on the original recording (famous for the fight between Mingus and Roach at the recording session) and some mike bleed. Not enough to put me off the music which is superb. My original post about this here.

Was it you who had problems with a noisy pressing of this. Did you get a replacement?

Yes I did have a duffer - returned it, but have forgotten the specifics.
I will review the c.d. I have of it and see if I need more. Purchased too much jazz of late.
