NUMBERED DELUXE TWO TAPES EDITION
There have been many guitar gods, but there’s never been an electric bassist as deified as Jaco Pastorius.
- Michael J. Agovino
This live album by Jaco Pastorius and the Word-of-Mouth Big Band, featuring harmonica virtuoso Toots Thielemans as special guest, was recorded in analog 24 tracks by the Record Plant mobile truck at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC on June 27, 1982 as part of George Wein's Kool Jazz Festival. The original 2 track master tapes were found recently and were used for this Deluxe edition. (Previous digital download versions were released from a digital remix of the 24 tracks). What we have here is the direct copy of the original pure analog 2 track mix.
The numbered package includes two SM900 RTM tapes recorded at 15ips in CCIR (also available in NAB), on two balanced precision made reel spools manufactured in Germany with an elegant booklet in the deluxe box.
Label: 2xHD - 2XHDRE-TD1245
Package: 2xReels, 15ips, ¼", 2-Track, 10.5" NAB R
