ART PEPPER Art Pepper (Superb 1983 French only 18-track triple LP box set repackaging of the Galaxy LPs 'Straight Life', 'Landscape' & 'Winter Moon' from 1979, 1980 & 1981 respectively. Together they make up a fantastic selection from Art's miracle comeback years where his playing couldn't have been better if he'd been an angel sent down from heaven. There is so much soul in every note of this set, but also a great deal of his more technical playing. The two opposite extremes perfectly captured on side four, where the haunting 'Over The Rainbow' is followed by the amazing 'Straight Life' track itself. The unique box [with photo by Laurie Pepper on the front], shows just a little light wear & being mostly white there are a few spots of discolouration but the incredible music within remains flawless. Trapped in the vinyl inside the simple paper sleeves is some of the most astonishing Alto Sax ever recorded. All three albums are essential 'must haves' for anybody with ears)
