Excellent news on album front. Remastered 20th anniversary of this stellar record from the early aughts halcyon days of Ropeadope records (remember those?!).

This outing has Charlie laying down signature grooves with a quintet featuring sax, trombone, and harmonica. A real high point in his remarkable discography.

Long out of print on CD and conspicuously absent from streaming. Now available online with preorders shipping later this year.

@drummmerandy ropeadope still out there putting out good material

@mrcompletely true, but I have a soft spot for their early years. Plus it all got kinda preserved in amber for me when it went out of print.

@drummmerandy for sure ropeadope was the signature label of a specific era and sound

@mrcompletely yeah, The Duo, Philadelphia Experiment, the Tonic albums, this Hunter one.... so much good stuff.

@drummmerandy @mrcompletely They also had some of my favorite merch in the early 00s. I had this great Sun Ra Ropeadope t-shirt I wore until it fell apart.

@Nolasox @mrcompletely oh yeah. I loved their Olympic series also. The Mexico City '68 shirt was a staple in my wardrobe for years.

@drummmerandy Plus, Bing, Bing, Bing was re-released recently…

@dnanian I didn't realize that! Thanks for the tip.
