What a slice of nirvana from 1968 [recorded in 1967, I believe]! For fans of Rich, I am not sure what the appeal would be, but for Alla Rakha devotees, this is one CD you cannot live without.The packaging is simple, but faithful to the original LP's artwork. All the quality in this one went into the superb mastering work. You feel like the musicians are in the room-and I don't have thousand dollar speakers, folks. Five Stars on this one.
