Andy Bey's solo full length debut finally reissued. Originally released in 1974, Experience And Judgement combines cosmic soul and spiritual jazz funk for a profound and uplifting listening experience. The powerful "Celestial Blues" kicks off the journey, a deeper and more sober version of the Gary Bartz classic, sets the mind-expanding tone for the entire record. Worth it alone for this spine-tingling track, but there is so much more to this album. Check out the high powered jazz funk on "Judgment," the heavy "Tune Up," "The Power Of My Mind," "Experience," and more. It's easy to hear why this has been a highly sought-after diggers' piece for decades, and we're beyond stoked to see it finally get the official reissue it deserves. Heavyweight 180 gram pressing courtesy of Be With. Highly Recommended.
