Description
If you like your jazz loose, sweaty, and full of crowd energy, this one’s for you. Swiss Movement was recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in June 1969, and it’s one of the great live jazz albums of that era. Les McCann’s electric piano and vocals paired with Eddie Harris on tenor sax made for a set that’s part soul, part groove, part straight-up improvisation. “Compared to What” is the track most people know, and it still holds up as one of the great protest-era jazz cuts.
This pressing comes from Analogue Productions’ Atlantic 75 Series, a reissue program built to mark Atlantic Records’ 75th anniversary. The series worked through 75 titles from the label’s catalog, and the first 2,000 copies of each title were individually numbered and pressed at Quality Record Pressings before the run moved to non-numbered copies. This one is numbered 001108, so it’s from that early QRP batch, not a later repress.
Specs on this copy:
• 180 gram vinyl, 45rpm, two record set
• Mastered from the original analog master tape by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering
• Pressed at Quality Record Pressings
• Tip-on old-style gatefold jacket by Stoughton Printing
• UPC 753088757174
Condition: shrink has been opened but the record and jacket are both in excellent shape, and the hype stickers are intact. No visible wear or damage.
