Description: Pharoah Sanders - Harvest Time Record Store Day 2024 exclusive vinyl New, unused, comes in an additional plastic sleeve (収穫時期 - Radio Edit) / Love Will Find a Way (ラヴ・ウィル・ファインド・ア・ウェイ- Radio Edit) Issued exclusively for Record Store Day 2024 Description This limited-edition Japanese radio edit single of Harvest Time / Love Will Find a Way is a complement to Pharoah Sanders’ seminal album from 1977 Pharoah, which was recently re-released for the first time since its original pressing. Released exclusively for RSD 2024, these two freshly released radio edits are pressed on 'Black Power Black' vinyl and packaged in a limited, eye-catching Japanese sleeve. A bit of back story Just recently Sanders, one of the most important and innovative recording artists of our time, and his 1977 iconic record were celebrated in The Harvest Time Project at the London Barbican. Following Sanders’ passing in 2022, The Harvest Time Project was created in tribute to the late saxophonist, to be performed around the world by different ensembles reinterpreting the record’s seminal track: Harvest Time. The project was performed at the Barbican by Brazilian singer Domenico Lancellotti and original Pharoah guitarist Tisziji Muñoz under musical director Joshua Abrams - with further special guest performers. The performance followed the first-ever official reissue of the record by New York-based label Luaka Bop on 15 September 2023. A bold experiment, a failed session and a love story combined, Pharoah became a giant, and much-bootlegged, work of the 20th century. The original record includes one of Pharoah Sanders’ greatest artistic achievements: Harvest Time (the Japanese radio edit of which is on this single), a piece given its name by Sanders’ then-wife and the record’s harmonium player, Bedria Sanders, whose influence and inspiration can be found across the recording. Talking about the spontaneous studio-birth of Harvest Time, Tisziji Muñoz says: “Pharoah said, ‘Man, you know, come up with something.’ So, I came up with something and it stuck. We all got into it, and I guess it became a masterpiece for people. Write the two-chord masterpiece in C minor. Beautiful, perfect.” On playing with Sanders, he reflects “his own contribution to the music [was] on the beauty side, and then on the terrifying avant-garde side. Go out with Pharoah [to perform] and you’ll never be the same. I’m not the same from that experience”. On the album Pharoah, Irreversible Entanglements lead vocalist Camae Ayewa (aka Moor Mother) calls it “The most important piece of music for me, ever.” The original record was reissued for the first time officially on 15 September, 2023 by Luaka Bop - the label behind 2021’s Promises, Sanders’ “late-career masterpiece” with British electronic musician Floating Points. Having built a trusting and mutual relationship during that collaboration, in spring 2022, Luaka Bop and Pharoah Sanders agreed to reissue this Holy Grail of jazz records and worked closely to piece together the story, open the making of the record, and even explore performing it live. Shortly after however, in September 2022, Pharoah Sanders passed away. With his blessing though, the recording and project live on. For seasoned listeners and new audiences alike, Pharoah will never sound the same.
