I bought this album & a single sided 10 “ vinyl ! At the time of release I was listening to hip hop along side lots of jazz & 60s & 70s soundtracks so this album was heaven for me!!!

These interviews are the best I’ve ever watched from El, and I attribute that to, not just El’s genius, but your willingness to ask the right questions that provoke super interesting answers. Thank you, Mike!

Glad to hear him talk about that record. It was such an anomaly to me when I found it, but hearing that backstory is rad.
