Special Radio Edition Vol1
Columbia AS 395

This is a special white label promo edition single LP of the Montreux Summit Volume 1 LP, with edited (shortened) tracks. This LP was recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland on July 24 (and the early morning hours of July 25), 1977, and was released that same year. It has MF on the tracks Montreux Summit, Blues March (they removed his solo), and Andromeda (he still solos on this one). It's really fantastic, fusion-influenced jazz, and Maynard comes through loud and clear!!!
