Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf 2022 - 3-LP Bundle (Joyous / Gears / Telecommunication)

Details

This bundle contains Jazz Dispensary's all three Top Shelf releases of 2022. The albums include Pleasure's Joyous, Johnny Hammond's Gears, and Azymuth's Telecommunication, all pressed on 180-gram black vinyl.

Pleasure - Joyous (180g LP)

Produced by Wayne Henderson (The Jazz Crusaders), Pleasure's 1977 cult-classic album delivers instant party vibes, thanks to a lively blend of soul, funk, disco, and jazz. 

Returning to vinyl for the first time since its original release, the album was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed on audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl at RTI. The LP is housed in a tip-on jacket, featuring faithfully reproduced original designs.

Johnny Hammond - Gears (180g LP)

Marking Johnny Hammond’s first album with Milestone Records, the jazz-funk opus Gears garnered critical acclaim upon its release and was a Top 40 hit on Billboard’s Jazz chart. Single “Los Conquistadores Chocolatés” was a crossover success, landing in the Top 5 of Billboard’s Dance Club Songs and Disco Singles charts. In the decades since its release, however, Gears has only grown in its cult status, being sampled by the likes of Erykah Badu and Kendrick Lamar.

The album was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed on audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl at RTI. The LP is housed in a tip-on jacket, featuring faithfully reproduced original designs.

Azymuth - Telecommunication (180g LP)

This 40th-anniversary pressing of Azymuth’s funky, samba-instilled fusion record Telecommunication marks the first reissue of the album on vinyl for the first time since its release in 1982. This electronic-jazz opus by the Brazilian trio was cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at RTI.
