Original Dutch edition of the 1971 album with recordings from 1964 featuring Henry Grimes, Sunny Murray ad Call Cobbs, later re-issued with the title Goin' Home.

condition (record/cover): NM / EX

February 1964: Albert Ayler playing spirituals with Call Cobbs on piano, recorded the same season as the free breakthrough sessions - and the secret twin of that whole revolution. No screaming, no rupture, no polemics: just the deepest possible reading of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and other traditional material, with that immense tone carrying centuries of feeling on its back. Hear this and the free records side by side and the argument settles itself: it was always the same music, the same church, the same cry. Released on the Dutch Osmosis label, and quietly one of the most moving records the man ever made. Do not sleep on this one.
