One of spiritual jazz's most treasured artifacts receives the audiophile treatment it deserves. Prince Billy Marge Wright's legendary "You Got That Right", originally self-released in 1980 on the saxophonist/flautist's own label, now returns as a limited edition 180g heavyweight pressing, with authentic Japanese obi strip. This sole leader album from the Chicago underground scene veteran has achieved mythical status among collectors and connoisseurs alike. Featuring contributions from Eldee Young, the revered bassist known for his work with Young-Holt Unlimited, the album bridges spiritual jazz and rare groove with unprecedented sophistication.

Gilles Peterson has championed the album's centerpiece "Summer Love" (B1) as one of his all-time favorites, while the mystical vocal feature "Tune Weaver" (A1) showcases Wright's ability to weave together spiritual consciousness and accessible melody. The album's dense, immersive sound captures a pivotal moment when Chicago's jazz underground was pushing into uncharted spiritual territories.

Original pressings of "You Got That Right" command astronomical prices, with even the 2021 reissue becoming increasingly scarce. This edition represents the most faithful reproduction yet, allowing Wright's nuanced compositions and the session's intricate interplay to emerge with unprecedented clarity.

A shining beacon in Chicago's underground jazz history, "You Got That Right" stands as essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the spiritual jazz movement's depth and diversity. This deluxe edition ensures Wright's vision reaches new ears while honoring the album's revered status among collectors.
