BILLY COBHAM Spectrum (2023 UK/EU/US 6-track LP for the Atlantic 75 series, originally released in 1974 including the fusion classics 'Quadrant 4' & 'Stratus' with Tommy Bolin on guitar. Pressed on clear vinyl and housed in a gatefold picturesleeve still sealed within its hype-stickered shrink)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
Often considered one of the first and finest jazz rock fusion albums ever recorded, legendary drummer Billy Cobham's masterpiece Spectrum continues to enthrall both old and new fans alike. Featuring the core quartet of Billy Cobham, the late great Tommy Bolin (lead guitars), Leland Sklar (bass) and Jan Hammer (keyboards), "Spectrum" was a powerful explosion of sound and vibrations that has never been duplicated.
Starting things off with the flying blues masterwork "Quadrant 4," which highlights the stellar lead guitar of Tommy Bolin, you know your musical journey is going to be a fantastic one indeed. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios in 1973 during the same time Tommy Bolin was in The James Gang, Billy Cobham (Miles Davis/Mahavishnu Orchestra) had known the late genius during his tenure with Zephyr, and along with kingpins like Leland Sklar on his powerful bass guitar, and fellow Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboard pioneer Jan Hammer, the stage is truly set for even more greatness.
Spectrum contains possibly one of the most important fusion tracks of all time with "Stratus." The song continues to have a major shelf life as its been sampled over the years by artists like Massive Attack, as well as being a featured song for the gamers in "Grand Theft Auto 4." The driving beat of Cobham's drums are second to none, as the interplay between Hammer and Bolin trading licks in revolutionary, while Leland's bass carries the groove, it is truly one of the genres finest hours.
More greatness continues with heavy duty musicianship with tracks such as "Taurian Matador" and "Red Baron" as well as the stunning self titled "Spectrum".
Mastered impeccably from the original Atlantic Records tapes by long time Tommy Bolin producer and fusion devotee Joe Reagoso, this super limited edition release of Spectrum will be manufactured on striking clear vinyl.
To further enhance your Billy Cobham experience, we are also including the original gatefold artwork not seen in years, as well as new liner note commentary from Tommy Bolin's brother Johnnie Bolin (Tommy Bolin/Black Oak Arkansas).
