A miraculous debut album of 22 tracks, finally released 46 years after his death — nearly half a century on. It collects 23 precious demo-style home recordings of his original compositions, most of which were never recorded again by him or any other artist. Playing every instrument himself and recording to 4-track tape, these unfinished pieces capture a miraculous musical world of simple preset rhythms from vintage rhythm machines, hand-played analog synthesizer melodies, sound checks, song introductions, an atmosphere so close you can almost hear him breathing — raw, living breath sealed onto tape. Fresh and evergreen forever. The sheer vibrancy of his love for music will bring you to tears. An irreplaceable musical treasure. Deeply moving. Another fine job from INTERNATIONAL ANTHEM.
Includes prototype demos that became Earth, Wind & Fire classics such as "That's The Way of The World" (sample1), "Imagination" and "On Your Face," plus "Black Gold," the blueprint for Rotary Connection's "I Am The Black Gold of The Sun."
