notes

Recorded at Decca Studios, New York City; November 19 (#1, 3, 9) and 23 (#2, 4, 6, 8) 1970. Other selections recorded January 1971.

#1-6 originally released on Harlem Bush Music/Taifa (Milestone 9031);
#7-11 as Harlem Bush Music/Uhuru (Milestone 9032).

Since maximum playing time of a single CD could not accommodate the entire length of this twofer, it was necessary to omit "Du (Rain)" from Taifa.
