THE TONY WILLIAMS LIFETIME - Emergency! (2023 Reissue) - 2LP - Vinyl [AUG 25]

2LP - Black Vinyl. 2023 first time vinyl reissue, 140g double vinyl, Mastered for vinyl by Simon Francis and cut by Cicely Ralston for Alchemy at AIR Studios. With restored artwork.

The Tony Williams Lifetime's Emergency! is a furious, stunning, seminal album. In 1969, it's explosive sound divided critics in both jazz and rock but is now rightly regarded as groundbreaking. A musical statement so bold and irreverent that it was revolutionary, it's one of the most important records you will ever hear. With Emergency!, provocative percussionist Tony Williams unified the most vital sounds of the era and galvanised the creation of jazz fusion. A sprawling double LP that shattered the boundaries between jazz and rock, it forged fresh frontiers by unleashing dense, courageous and fantastically mysterious music. 

Listeners will be struck by the timelessness of Emergency!; dank, tranceinducing voodoo jazz that's intellectually challenging at the same time as  viscerally thrilling. The blurred cover photo, whereby the convulsing vibrations  of this sonic apocalypse ensure it looks exactly as the record sounds - out of  focus - has been delicately restored at Be With HQ. Mastered for vinyl by  Simon Francis and cut by Cicely Ralston for Alchemy at AIR Studios, the magnificent grit and spontaneity remains dizzyingly intact. If you're a jazz  fusion fan and don't already have this, consider ownership of this record as an Emergency.
