Goody's Audio-Upgrade Edition via Doinker

Doinker's original comment:
I thought I'd drop down from lurk mode to bring you this show, which has been idling on my computer for months. It's from the great Boris Rose vinyl collection, which I'm trying to complete. Please bear with me, there's lots more to come!

...to which, Goody adds -
These were the previously listed titles:
Country Ripple
Summer Storm
Future Return Trip/ Fiesta: Some Time Ago/La Fiesta

You can see them in the included 'artwork' from a CD as well as an LP release of this which we've included in this new edition to bring you into the lovely world of bootleg cover art... such as it is. ;)
Back in the early days of Napster, I recall seeing people changing the names of the tracks so that they wouldn't be recognized as official and pulled offline.
Either the above titles were an attempt at something like that (but this is from vinyl, so pre-torrenting, of course,) or they were simply unknown and these other ones were entered randomly. I guess we'll never know, but we can all share a little laugh at someone's highly questionable effort. ;)

More likely, these are the actual titles:
(I chose 'Noon Song' for the first title after noticing similarities to the first piece played on 'Piano Improvisations Vol. 1' with that title, a theme of his I know Chick was fond of using as a springboard. It's most interesting indeed, hearing that solo piano piece fleshed out here by the full ensemble!)

01 Noon Song 10:38
02 Return To Forever 14:37
03 Sometime Ago (incl. Bass Folk Song - incomplete - fades) 21:15


According to the great jazz reference site Jazzdisco.org and elsewhere, this is the suggested personnel for this performance:

Chick Corea (p, el-p) Stanley Clarke (b) Joe Farrell (ts) Airto Moreira (d, per) Flora Purim (vo, per)

Doinker's lineage: LP ->major speed correction on turntable ->Click and Crackle removal via Sound Forge ->Flac via TLH, level 6, sectors aligned and verified, Flac integrity verified >

Goody's additional lineage:
iZotope RX10 Advanced (Wow & Flutter repaired or reduced) > Audition (Click removal; Levels adjusted) >
TLH (FLAC Level 8; Align sector boundaries; .ffp) > foobar2000 (tags)

I'm thinking there was probably more of this show, but this is what was contained on vinyl.
Enjoy!
