Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows Neil Ardley SKU: GULLPP1018 Barcode: GULLPP1018 34.00 £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure Released Date: 11th July 2005 Buying Format: 180g 2LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Remastered, re-evaluated, this landmark 1976 recording by a who’s-who of British jazz – including Barbara Thompson, Ian Carr (Nucleus), Tony Coe, Geoff Castle and Dave Macrae – reaffirms Neil Ardley as one of the most important innovators of British modern jazz. This album became famous for its supremely original music but also for it’s impeccable engineering by Martin Levan. On the original single LP, the sound quality had to be compromised to enable the inclusion of 27 minutes of music per side. Much of the bass and stereo effect was removed. Now as a double LP mastered from the original analog tapes, all of the “missing” bass and stereo effect is here for all to savor and enjoy. At the time of its original release in 1976, Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows received critical acclaim from a wide spectrum of the day’s music critics. Here’s a sampling of some reviews: “This work is possibly the most significant piece of composition since – what? Sgt Pepper? Pet Sounds? Gil Evans’ Miles Ahead? Tubular Bells? Its beauty and superb sense of structure will mark it out, in no uncertain terms as one of the great musical achievements of our age.” – Karl Dallas, Melody Maker “The brisk alternation of moods and textures keeps the listener on the edge of his seat…stunning variety.” – Dave Gelly, The Observer “It’s made to be savoured, enjoyed and, maybe, thought about a bit: for within it lies a part of the musical future. Musically, it’s superb.” – Derek Jewell, The Sunday Times Artist Neil Ardley Genre Jazz , Rock And Pop Label Pure Pleasure Buying Options 180g 2LP Format 180g , 2LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Side 1 Prologue Rainbow One: solists Ian Carr & Brian Smith Rainbow Two: soloists Dave Macrae & Geoff Castle Side 2 Rainbow Three: solist Paul Buckmaster Rainbow Four: soloist: Barbara Thompson Side 3 Rainbow Five: solist Tony Coe Rainbow Six Side 4 Rainbow Seven: solists Ken Shaw & Bob Bertles Epilogue Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View John Coltrane The Last Trane Jazz | Craft Recordings | 1LP Released 8th December 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane The Last Trane £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 1803941 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jacintha Jacintha Is Her Name: Dedicated To Julie London (180g 45rpm 2LP) Jazz | Groove Note | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 24th April 2024 £73.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jacintha Jacintha Is Her Name: Dedicated To Julie London (180g 45rpm 2LP) £73.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Groove Note SKU: GRV1014-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 24th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ray Barretto Indestructible Jazz | Craft Recordings | 1LP Released 15th December 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ray Barretto Indestructible £30.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craft Recordings SKU: 7250438 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Mingus Blues & Roots (Atlantic 75 Series) Jazz | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th October 2023 £75.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Mingus Blues & Roots (Atlantic 75 Series) £75.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: AAPA 001-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hugh Masekela The Chisa Years Jazz | BBE | 2LP Released 11th May 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hugh Masekela The Chisa Years £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: BBE SKU: BBELP69 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Ole Coltrane (Atlantic 75 Series) Jazz | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 25th December 2025 £75.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Ole Coltrane (Atlantic 75 Series) £75.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: AAPA 061-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 25th December 2025 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Iiro Rantala & The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen Playing Gershwin Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 31st January 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Iiro Rantala & The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen Playing Gershwin £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9893-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Milestones (SuperVinyl) Jazz | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 1LP Released 25th December 2023 £67.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Miles Davis Milestones (SuperVinyl) £67.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: LMF528SV Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th December 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Dexter Gordon Quartet Espace Cardin 1977 Jazz | Intermusic | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th November 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dexter Gordon Quartet Espace Cardin 1977 £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Intermusic SKU: 5990531 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mary Lou Williams Black Christ of the Andes Jazz | Down At Dawn | 1LP Released 19th October 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mary Lou Williams Black Christ of the Andes £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Down At Dawn SKU: DAD119 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
