Pharoah Sanders – Tauhid Anthology Recordings – ARC043 Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue Released:10 Nov 2017
This new reissue leaves me completely torn. I've long been waiting to get my hands on a copy of Tauhid, considered by many to be among Pharaoh's best work. It sounds great, the orange and black is present. But...no gatefold jacket. I know, it's not the music but a huge part of enjoying the Impulse! catalog on vinyl, is the gatefold. When the label was started, the package design wasn't an afterthought, it was integral to the experience. Very frustrating, I know myself well enough to know that I still need a copy with the original gatefold design. And so, it's off the wishlist but not really. I think this is how people wind up with multiple copies of the same thing...
LISTEN: Tauhid
