[Mattteus]

This music evokes so many sensations within me. I'm really digging the late '60s/early '70s vibe, the sheer musicianship of Dorothy Ashby, the lushness of the orchestration..

Why doesn't the music industry release music like this now?

[kic1222]

Kanye sampled this for Common's "Start The Show". Dope track!

[GrafPsychofarmaca]

When was this released?

[nizxbit]

@GrafPsychofarmaca 1969

[GrafPsychofarmaca]

@nizxbit Sick drums for such an old release

[austinpawl]

[optikCB]

the whole song is too dope, but that beginning 20 seconds gives me chills

[jazzbuff630]

@optikCB

Agreed.

[rav3beats]

Kanye/Common

[incrediblecHiller]

Beautiful!

[HalSamuel]

How did music like this slip under the radar? I mean, with many rarities you can understand, they simply didn't have mass appeal, but surely something so lushly arranged, beautifully played, soulful and hip as hell would find a legion of fans?

[mista13er]

@HalSamuel it has, us.

[StephenHarpersNutsak]

@HalSamuel Yeah, how am I just hearing about this now?

[HalSamuel]

Oh jesus it's rare as hell and costs lots to by, but I might have to purchase this album. I think it's worth the money.
