Afro - Harping, remastered from original analog tapes at Abbey Road Studios by Alex Wharton, is a musical gem. It's full of rich and captivating grooves. With African percussion, soulful orchestrations, and great rhythms, along with Dorothy's amazing skills, it's way beyond just jazzy mood music. It's a hit among beat heads and producers, sampled by big names like Pete Rock, Kendrick Lamar, and others. This deluxe version has eight bonus tracks, alternate takes that might be even better than the album ones. You'll also get to experience the in - studio 'atmosphere' with bonus cuts, including voices of Dorothy and others. Cadet, a great label, teams up producer Richard Evans and harpist Dorothy Ashby to create this funky harp album. Tracks like 'Come Live with Me' and 'Soul Vibrations' are stand - outs. This expanded deluxe edition on black double vinyl comes with an 8 - page insert of liner notes. It was originally released in 1968 and re - issued by Cadet in 2024.
To enjoy this vinyl, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable and set the tonearm at the start of the record. You can listen to it for relaxation, inspiration for music production, or just to enjoy great music. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After use, store it in its sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't stack too many records on top of it to prevent warping. And if you want to share the experience, gather some friends and have a listening party.
