Includes 17 performances that were previously unavailable along with ALL the tracks on the Mole Jazz Albums: Blues For The Fisherman and True Blues.
Previously unissued: A1, A2, C1 to G2, I1 to I3, L1, L2, M2.
Track C1 is given on label, sleeve and booklet track lists as Ornithology. Art Pepper even introduces it as such. But they actually play Anthropology.
This recording was made using multi-microphones in a straight stereo mix without any noise reduction system, limiting, compression or equalization on either the location or on the transfer of the master tapes to the laquers from which the final pressings are made. Mastered by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London.
Note that on Side D/Arthur's Blues there is an acknowledged audio anomaly where the left channel drops out for a few seconds about two-thirds of the way through the performance. This is a problem with the master tape, not a pressing defect.
Some of these recordings were first released on Mole Jazz but in the name of Milcho Leviev Quartet: True Blues and Blues For The Fisherman Barcode: 5060149621011
