    i have an error copy as the labels are switched, Side A label on Side B and vice versa. I thought there was a note on this page regarding some copies having this, but I don't see it anymore.

        Only great tracks on this gem, some of Coleman's greatest among them - the both famous and beautiful ballads "Peace" and "Lonely Woman", but also one of my personal favourites "Eventually", a fast forward driving track with a great bass played by Charlie Haden and an extremely fast and inventive saxophone. The other tracks are great as well. The band on its peak!
