It was recorded on February 4 and 5, 1971 at Polydor Studios in London while Braxton was in town with the group Circle; it was produced by Freedom founder Alan Bates with Carlos Olms as engineer. Instead of titles the pieces carry Braxton's graphic composition codes, and they range from a duo with Chick Corea and the quartet with Kenny Wheeler, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul to a piece for five tubas and solo pieces for overdubbed soprano saxophone and contrabass clarinet. The album was first released in 1973. This copy is a German pressing on Freedom\/Spiegelei (cat. no. 28 459-6 Z\/1-2) in a gatefold sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePressing details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel \/ Cat. no.:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freedom \/ Spiegelei 28 459-6 Z\/1-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl 2LP, Album, gatefold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e German pressing, listed as reissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of this pressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1973 or later repress (first released: 1973)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/jazz\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/experimental\"\u003eExperimental\u003c\/a\u003e, Free jazz, avant-garde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia:\u003c\/strong\u003e NM-\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e NM- (small punch hole in the sleeve)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraded to Goldmine standard (see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/vinyl-grading\"\u003eVinyl Grading\u003c\/a\u003e).
