The original Artist House LP. Very much appreciated. Thank you, porter_esq!

Thank you so much!
"A pinnacle of Harmolodics, this album is the promised land."
Agreed.
:-)
The LP is much better mastered than the CD, which was sounded flat and dead
The original LP was mastered by none other than Rudy Van Gelder.
should make for a fascinating comparison!
Thank you once again!
This album changed my life as a musician....thirty years I've been searching for any shred of this music which blew my mind wide open. This showed me what you could *truly* do with music when you wrenched at the very harmonic foundations. I was honored to have met "Blood" on line at the post office - recognizing him from his profile. You could've knocked me over with a feather! He was as self-effacing as his talent was deep and he made me feel like I was his younger brother. The people on line asked me after he left, "Is he a Rock Star?" To which I replied, "...in my world". I went back home and slapped on my copy of "Freelancing" and just went for it.
Thank you again!
