Stone Alliance - Stone Alliance (1976/2024) (Hi-Res)

"I'm like 'Sweetie Pie' by Stone Alliance / Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science." Beastie Boys, "Root Down," 1994
For over three decades, the Stone Alliance's debut album on Gene Perla's PM Records has been a record collector's commodity. An LP that evolved from the Rare Groove 1990s into a hallowed place in America's deep jazz canon. This definitive reissue of the 1976 release was lacquered in an all-analog transfer by Bernie Grundman, who removed the Dolby noise reduction and freed the space in the record's grooves. Grundman himself said that this is the best that this record has ever sounded. Contains an oversized 8 page booklet that details bass player and PM Records founder Gene Perla's arc in music, the creation and lineage of his PM Records imprint and the story of the Stone Alliance band."
