• This is a hand numbered, limited edition LP pressing (1000 copies), on 180 gram virgin vinyl, of Albert Ayler’s first ESP label recording, ‘Spiritual Unity’ - recorded in July 1964. This edition is pressed in the United States with original artwork restored, and Includes free MP3 download of the album (320 kbps DRM free).

• It was the first Ayler album that paired him with truly like-minded, inspired musicians : Gary Peacock on bass and Sunny Murray, drums. It was also the first jazz release (and the second release of any genre) on Bernard Stollman’s famous ESP label.

• “If you haven't heard this record, you've missed out on one of the most profound artistic statements of the 20th Century." - Nils Jacobson, All About Jazz

• "A landmark recording that's essential to any basic understanding of free jazz." -Steve Huey, All Music Guide

• "The Ayler ESP recordings remain some of the most breathtakingly remarkable music ever captured: original, alien, and as seductively familiar as one's own pulse." - Rex Butters, All About Jazz
