People In Sorrow

Finally back in print! Originally released by EMI’s Pathé Marconi imprint in 1969, ”People in Sorrow” has long been unavailable on vinyl and CD, and then only in hard-to-find European and Japanese issues. It is arguably the finest and most ambitious of the 14 studio albums recorded by the Art Ensemble during their 23-month sojourn in France, which launched the American group internationally. (…) Fully licensed from Warner Music, and augmented with new liner notes by veteran U.S. music journalist Chris Morris, this release marks the long-awaited return of the record that Chicago-based writer, curator, and label operator John Corbett calls “one of the most luminous albums of creative music ever made.”

Remastered from the original tapes by Moritz Illner (duophonic). Limited to 1000 copies.
