Release Date: June 28, 2024

Album Description:
Originally released in 1974 on the Stax imprint Truth Records, The Round Robin Monopoly's funk-soul extravaganza Alpha returns to vinyl for the first time in 50 years! Evoking the feeling of a car chase scene in a mid-'70s action movie, Alpha lives right at the intersection of top-notch musicianship and immaculate vibes. This Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf reissue was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, and comes packaged in a tip-on jacket.

Slipmat Description:
Designed by Drew Tetz, this zoetropic slipmat design comes alive when viewed through a camera. To view the effect through your phone, place the disc on the turntable at the proper speed under a bright light. The shutter will blend the frames together to form a cohesive image on the screen.
(The brighter the light, the clearer the image will appear, so try to use as many light sources as possible for the best results!)
