BOBBY HUTCHERSON / HAROLD LAND - RESURFACED

As I was looking into this feature on Hutchersons' sidemen, I discovered that several of Hutchersons'  recorded tracks (specifically Blue Note) were rejected from their originial LP release, or the LP not released at all. Some though not all, have since resurfaced on various compilations or CD versions of the original LP listed as bonus tracks. Why certain tracks are rejected is a curious matter of debate, but for now I'm glad to appreciate what we have of this music today.

    Nice post - however "The Creators" is on "Now".
    Last 3 are from the cd reissue of Head On and are essential.

    This is absolutely fabulous, glad to have "Brother Rap" at long last, been looking for that particular track for such a long time.

    Many thanks.
