It seems I'm not done with this blog or Prestige just this yet! Here's another monster soul jazz rarity - Buddy Terry's Natural Soul! This legendary ultra rare lost side has been mostly sought after by cratediggers for the quality of sidemen involved - Larry Young and Woody Shaw! Terry is the leader on tenor and he plays well, but fortunately, Young is all over this side with his organ... fantastic! Shaw is only on three tracks, however.

Acquired this unique vintage Prestige licensed MPS white label promo pressing for the princely sum of 5 Euros from a German dealer. Of course the original cover was lost, so hence the bargain (above courtesy Google images ) . So, just average fidelity off this foreign, rather thin sounding pressing, but the music is essential and deserves to be heard again. Back to my break.
