MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA

Between Nothingness & Eternity

SEALED EU import limited edition 180 gram Vinyl LP. Columbia/Sony/Music On Vinyl MOVLP 1235. Stereo, limited edition reissue. COVER & VINYL: MINT still sealed, never played.

Recorded in August of 1973, in Central Park.

Between Nothingness And Eternity is the first live album of Mahavishnu Orchestra, and last with the original line-up, released in 1973. Their third album was to be a studio effort, but was scrapped during the final days of the project. A live album containing live renditions of three new songs came out instead, on which the five Jazz/Rock virtuosos can be heard stretching out at great length.

Two tracks, guitarist John McLaughlin's "Trilogy" and keyboardist Jan Hammer's "Sister Andrea," are proportioned roughly as they were in their studio renditions, while the third, McLaughlin's "Dream," is stretched to nearly double its 11-minute studio length.

Each composition develops organically through a number of sections, and there are fewer lockstep unison passages than on the earlier recordings. John McLaughlin is as flashy as ever on double-necked electric guitar, and Jan Hammer and violinist Jerry Goodman are a match for him in the speed department, with drummer Billy Cobham displaying a compelling, raw power which also gives bassist Rich Laird a showcase for his slightly subtler work.

TRACKS:

TRILOGY (The Sunlit Path/La Mere de la Mer/Tomorrow's Story Not The Same)

Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY. MINT means factory sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new, out-of-the-packaging clean condition. NM- is not NM! Its a grade above VG++ and below Near Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my terminology Scratches are feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and usually inaudible. DISCLAIMER.

I will charge a $10.00 return fee for all returns - this amount will be deducted from the Paypal refund of the returned item. If item is truly defective the entire purchase amount will be refunded as long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent.  ***BUYER PAYS FOR ALL RETURN SHIPPING FEES.***                                                                                     ATTENTION!!
