Mahavishnu Orchestra ‎– Birds Of Fire (Columbia CBS, 1973 First UK Pressing)

Sad to hear of the news that bassist Rick Laird passed away yesterday. He was instrumental in the British jazz scene, from his early days as the house bassist at Ronnie Scott's club to his time in the first iteration of the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

One of Sir George Martin's favorite recordings he produced.
 
Just getting started today but 7/4’s highlights were:

A must own AS Impulse reissue. Pressing, sound, & music all stellar.

A well done world music title and

The Fontaines D.C. RSD title. This one didn’t seem to get as much attention as I thought it would but it is well worth picking up. Again sound, pressing, performance, and packaging all good.
