This  collector's example was obtained from Jazz Journal's Barry McRae's  personal collection. As a British writer for Jazz Journal for many years,  'Bazzer The Jazzer', as he was to become affectionately known, built  up a massive collection ofjazz vinyl of all kinds. Many were review  copies, others signed gifts from musicians, or promo copies, in  addition to the enormous number of records he bought for himself  over the years. The heavyweight pasted picture sleeve even includes  the super rare two page document, one A4 page for Graves and one  page for Pullen that present SRP Records and describe the music.

Graves was already an imposing presence in free music, with advances in technique and using the snare as an accent rather than beat-keeper. Pullen (who would go on to have an illustrious career with Charles Mingus) shows he's also no slouch in the technique department, with unrestrained bursts of activity up and down the keys. Not for the faint-hearted! The vinyl is impossibly rare, especially as a first issue. A second volume titled Nommo was subsequently issued, and it too is highly prized.
