The James Taylor Quartet 'In The Hand Of The Inevitable' 30th Anniversary Edition - 2LP, CD & Digital OUT NOW on Acid Jazz

 

OUT NOW… James Taylor Quartet’s vital ‘In The Hand Of The Inevitable’ - special 30th Anniversary Edition 2LP, CD & Digital.

The James Taylor Quartet were the original group on the acid jazz scene, and this was their 1995 triumphant Top 40 return to the label. It became James’ best-selling album, and in retrospect his most popular album amongst his fans.

The original vinyl issue was missing two tracks that were on the CD and this 30th Anniversary Edition is released on double vinyl with those two tracks now included. The release includes picture sleeve inner sleeves with in-depth sleeve notes by Acid Jazz’s Dean Rudland and new pictures from the album sessions, housed in a wide-spine sleeve. 

The CD and digital releases include two tracks from the album sessions – ‘Love Ballad’ and ‘Astral Plane’ - which only appeared on single releases. The former is a cover of the LTD / George Benson classic and the latter a great slice of ‘80s influenced electro-funk.
