United States“A Chronotransduction by Carla Bley / Paul Haines. Gatefold sleeve. Gold foil cover. With 12-page booklet and catalogue insert. Original black hype sticker is also pictured. Likely a recut from 1976, given the date-form numbers in the runouts and the catalogue insert advertising JCOA releases through 1975. Record sides are paired sequentially as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6. There is a nearly identical autocoupled version here: [r4596661] – it also has slightly different ARC numbers in the runout, though these may be a matter of interpretation as they're extremely faint. Recorded November 1968, November 1970 - June 1971, March 1971, June 1971 On labels: Copyright © 1971 by Alrac Music (BMI) Locked groove at the end of side 6 (F3 >... And It's Again)”
