Jamaican/British jazz saxophonist Joe Harriott's album High Spirits is available again for the first time since it was released in 1965.
This new edition was mastered at Abbey Road using high definition 24bit/192kHz audio files, copied directly from the original stereo analogue master tapes (previously only the mono version has been on vinyl). Images of those tapes are included in the package alongside new sleeve notes written by author, compiler, and documentary maker Tony Higgins, who also acts as Executive Producer for Universal Music's 'British Jazz Explosion' series.
Recorded in September 1964, High Spirits was originally released as part of the Lansdowne Series, overseen by the influential Denis Preston, one of the UK's first independent record producers. In a departure from the radical concepts Harriott explored across his most recent albums, High Spirits features eight arrangements of songs originally written for the musical High Spirits, composed by Hugh Martin and Timothy Gray, and based on Noël Coward’s 1941 play Blithe Spirit.
