A QUICK ONE WHILE HE'S AWAY

Good to see the title track from Julius Hemphill's 1972 album "Dogon A.D." made available here. As stated in the Destination: OUT post, "Dogon A.D." and "Coon Bid'ness" are at the peak of the underdeveloped but potentially bananas free funk genre. All of these tracks should be easily available, but they never were, even when they were "in print." Those Arista/Freedom titles were always disappearing, leading me to believe more than once that I had imagined a record that didn't really exist.
