RSD25 - Charles Mingus - In Argentina: The Buenos Aires Concerts

Live in Argentina: The Buenos Aires Concerts is a never-before-released recording of legendary bassist Charles Mingus captured live in Buenos Aires, Argentina in June 1977 featuring Ricky Ford (tenor saxophone), Jack Walrath (trumpet), Robert Neloms (piano) and Dannie Richmond (drums). Transferred from the original tape reels that were recorded by engineer Carlos Melero, the limited-edition 180-gram 3-LP set is mastered for vinyl by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed at 33 1/3 RPM at Le Vinylist. The elaborate booklet will includes newly commissioned liner notes; plus interviews with artists who knew or were inspired by Charles Mingus. This is an official release in cooperation with Jazz Workshop, Inc. and the Charles Mingus Estate. 
Originally released in September 2001, initial sessions for The Charlatans' seventh studio album took place in Los Angeles with producer Danny Saber, and were completed by the band with James Spencer at Big Mushroom Studios, in Cheshire. 'Wonderland' entered the UK album chart at No. 2, and includes the Top 40 singles 'Love Is The Key' and 'A Man Needs To Be Told'. A third single, 'You're So Pretty - We're So Pretty' was scheduled for release but withdrawn; a remix of that single by Lo-Fidelity Allstars is included in the bonus content. 

Since The Charlatans formed in the West Midlands in 1988, they have released thirteen studio albums - all of them Top 40, and three of them No. 1 - and had more than 20 Top 40 singles. Following the COVID-19 epidemic, singer Tim Burgess was announced as ambassador for the 2020 'Love Record Stores Day' initiative.

The song draws inspiration from music history, incorporating lines directly lifted from The Byrds' 1967 track “Everybody's Been Burned” and featuring a distinctive organ riff inspired by Deep Purple’s rendition of “Hush.”

Tim Burgess on the single ‘The Only One I Know’: ‘I came up with it on the way to the garage to get fags. I had to pelt back to my mum and dad’s to get my Dictaphone before I forgot it’
