I bought my first 2nd hand car (complete with outdated tape deck) in 2004 and to this day the only tape that has never been removed, revamped or altered in any way is my copy of 'Somethin' Else' (with 'Stars Fell on Alabama' and 'Flamenco Sketches' to fill out the B-side). Probably the most listenable album of any genre or artist ever.
Thoroughly agree with you Barry Thomas. Unfortunately however, I didn't get to hear this elegant album until 1968!
First heard 'somethin' else' around 1964. to this day one of my favorite albums along with Miles ' kind of blue'.
pure magic.
