Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series!
AAA Lacquers Cut from the Original Master Tapes by Kevin Gray!

Heavily reminiscent of late-career Coltrane, Motherland is an emotive spiritual soul jazz album by The Visitors, consisting of the alto and tenor sax playing brothers Earl & Carl Grubbs. Originally released in 1975 on the legendary Muse Records imprint and returning to vinyl after five decades, this Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf reissue of Motherland was cut from the original analog tapes (AAA) by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing, and packaged in a tip-on jacket.
