Allmusic[4]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow says, "Because most of this material had been recorded just a couple years earlier, these versions of such songs as "This Here," "Bohemia After Dark" and "New Delhi" were unissued until the 1980s. The music remains quite exciting and fresh for, although somewhat overshadowed at the time, this was one of the great jazz groups of the 1960s".[4]

Personnel
gollark: I'd actually like those a bit, but I suppose you can't actually send me them.
gollark: I doubt it has good storage.
gollark: I mean, why did you buy them and where from, and also they probably aren't great for anything beyond extremely lightweight embedded stuff.
gollark: But... why?
gollark: `tyr`
