barabara sounds sez:The one and only Kalaparusha, free and fiery, on Baystate from '77 (to be precise, recorded in NYC in M
ay 9, 1977)
. This little number goes for substantial bucks for the original album, and even the reissue — which this is ripped from — is hard to get hold of now. W
hich is why the scans, including the art above, still have the obi and shrink wrap on.
what my original post said:
I had this post all ready to go up for a couple of weeks. But while I dallied (out of town actually), it has now been posted over at the excellent Inconstant Sol, so I didn't bother. Instead, head over there to pick it up — and check out the comments, including a link to a film about where Kalaparushi Maurice McIntyre is at right now (and it ain't a good place).
But enough time has elapsed, so this has been reinstated as a full-fledged barabara sounds post. Too good not to share :-)
