Allmusic[2]

Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "This release was quite important for a couple of reasons. It was the first LP put out by the British Spotlite label and only the second date led by the legendary (and until then largely forgotten) bop pianist Joe Albany ... The recording quality is decent if not state-of-the-art, but the playing is quite excellent and fortunately led to the rediscovery of this important "missing link"".[2]

Personnel
gollark: Also because I could get a "UPS" for that pretty cheaply, i.e. a decently high-powered battery pack.
gollark: I kind of want to migrate my server stuff to a Raspberry Pi 4 and 256GB or so SSD, because flash memory > spinny disks.
gollark: It... might be... it just says "HP" on all the info I can dredge up quickly.
gollark: It also claims to have read only 10TB and written 5TB, sooo...
