Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series!
AAA Lacquers Cut from the Original Analog Tapes by Kevin Gray!
Pressed on 180g Vinyl at RTI!
First Time on Vinyl in Over 50 Years!
The funkiest band you've never heard! For their newest Top Shelf release, the groove purveyors of Jazz Dispensary dig into the vaults of Muse Records for a reissue of Catalyst's 1973 jazz-funk sizzler, Perception. Returning to vinyl for the first time in over 50 years, the album is a showcase of the band's effortless mastery in dancing between soul jazz and moody fusion. Cut from the original tapes (AAA) by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a tip-on jacket.
