Acid (jazz) Redux: The Crusaders “The 2nd Crusade” (1973)

by Pico

This selection goes back a ways with me; I've saved only a handful of vinyls from my once somewhat-vast collection and this vintage ABC-Blue Thumb double LP was spared from that dreaded garage sale. It's also one of the few expensive import CD's I was begrudgingly willing to ante up for (note the Japanese script on the left side of the CD front cover), since domestically, MCA Records, owner of the ABC masters, didn't think enough of the record to release it stateside. But the $25 I had to fork over for this sumbitch was quickly forgotten as soon as I heard those familiar sounds digitally for the first time. Being able to blast it in the Pico Piddler made it all the mo' bettah.
