LP - Limited 50th Anniversary Edition 180g Crystal Clear Vinyl. Only 1000 individually numbered copies pressed in this edition (2025 Reissue).
Released in 1975, Believe It is the debut album by The New Tony Williams Lifetime, marking a fresh direction for legendary jazz fusion drummer Tony Williams. Featuring guitarist Allan Holdsworth, bassist Tony Newton, and keyboardist Alan Pasqua, the album delivers a dynamic blend of jazz fusion, rock, and funk.
Standout tracks like Fred and Proto-Cosmos highlight Holdsworth’s groundbreaking guitar work, Williams’ powerful drumming, and the band's intricate interplay. Unlike Williams' earlier work with the original Lifetime, Believe It leans toward a tighter, more structured sound while maintaining its improvisational spirit.
Regarded as a jazz fusion classic, Believe It showcases technical mastery and musical innovation, influencing generations of fusion and rock musicians. Its energetic compositions and virtuosic performances make it a must-listen for fans of progressive jazz and instrumental rock.
Believe It is available as a 50th anniversary edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl.
