This CD really pisses me off. First, I have, of course, no complaints about the music, which is some of the most sensational Earland ever recorded. However, second, it has the most awful sleeve note I’ve ever read. It’s not simply that it’s written in an excitingly pseudo-hip style; it’s also that the writer doesn’t know very much about Charles Earland’s music.
Third, this is a compilation of bits of three different sessions. The first chunk is from the session that produced Soul Story. So it’s obvious that LP isn’t going to appear on CD. The second chunk was recorded as part of the Intensity LP, with Lee Morgan. This could have been issued when Intensity, together with the two tracks from Charles III that came from the Intensity session, came out on CD a couple of years ago. And finally, the CD contains other tracks from Charles III; so that LP has now come out on CD, albeit spread between two CDs. Bah! - AM
