Part of Decca's British Jazz Explosion series, these significant recordings have long been sought after on vinyl by collectors and connoisseurs, with original copies of both titles now selling for upwards of £1,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese new editions have been remastered at Gearbox Studios, London, using the original tapes (or high-resolution digital source files, taken from the original tapes), which were transferred to a Studer reel-to-reel tape machine, then mastered using an all-valve analogue mastering desk. The 180gm LPs are housed in 350gsm brown craft board sleeves. They are accompanied by extensive new liner notes (a 12x12 four-page insert) from British jazz expert Tony Higgins, with detailed insight into the extraordinary life of Taylor, who, with every passing year, becomes more of a fascinating character in the development of British jazz and whose story reads like that of a grand opera, embracing exceptional music, high drama, mental illness, drugs and an untimely early death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch like folk songwriter Nick Drake, Taylor’s demise went largely unremarked in the music press at the time. In the years following his death, Taylor’s name slipped from memory of all but his closest friends. It was not until his three penned tracks for Cream’s 1968 album, \u003cem\u003eWheels Of Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, that the wider public started to take note of his genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe importance of Taylor’s two LPs cannot be understated. They are a source of inspiration for the new British Jazz Explosion spearheaded by the likes of Ezra Collective, Nubya Garcia, Sons of Kemet. With these long-awaited reissues, his music can be heard and appreciated by many more people than it ever was in his own tragic lifetime. Perhaps something of a bittersweet vindication for the best jazz pianist you’ve never heard of...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cinput id=\"handle1\" name=\"collapse\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"handle\"\u003e\u003clabel for=\"handle1\"\u003eTracklist \u0026amp; Credits - 1LP\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll The Things You Are (05:59)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust A Blues (08:02)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile My Lady Sleeps (06:23)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe End Of A Love Affair (03:52)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Autumns (06:35)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuru (05:11)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStella By Starlight (06:12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbena (04:15)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_credits\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCredits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMike Taylor: piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack Bruce and\/or Ron Rubin: bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Hiseman: drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally recorded at Lansdowne Studios in 1968, under the supervision of Denis Preston.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cinput id=\"handle2\" name=\"collapse\" type=\"checkbox\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"handle\"\u003e\u003clabel for=\"handle2\"\u003e Shipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- Accordion Content Start--\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shipping_info\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eShipping\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Australian orders are \u003cb\u003edelivered duties paid\u003c\/b\u003e with no additional taxes or custom charges to pay on delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe aim to \u003cb\u003edispatch\u003c\/b\u003e your order within \u003cb\u003e2-3 business days\u003c\/b\u003e for in-stock items.
