Dave was the drummer on this album and had this box for a long time, untill he have them to the guy, i have them from. here's a fun picture and a great memory since Dave Palamer passed away this year.

the album is fantastic, no doubt! this is what i call a proper blend of jazz with funk. my definition of good mood music! after the needle hit the first seconds of the grooves, i already smiled because i immediately heard Pete Rock's sample he has used for Rakim's Living For The City beat, which was my joint in the 90s, haha!

In other news I had a brilliant email this week from Arlene, who actually turned out to be Keith, who has been searching for the Polynesia LP for many years and was thrilled to get it finally on vinyl. Keith filled me in on the murderous side of the LP, but also had some rare info about the origins of the album. Apparently the original sleevenotes are all a bit of sham, and A.I. Grove was a made up person, there were no ancient manuscripts that were translated and it was all new prose written by the producer, who fancied himself a bit as a beat poet, by all accounts. Great story and thanks Keith.

wow! thanks a lot for the information @Bez. i am on the mailing list but been too busy to read it. still want to live in the thought that the ancient manuscripts are for real, haha!

***edit***

is it possible to make a snapshot of the Trunk liner notes for me? always enjoy reading them but i can't double dip for now...
