DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
A legendary live album originally released only in Japan in 1972.
No holding back, no calculated moves — a stripped‑down Roy Ayers dives straight into the very essence of groove.
Vibraphonist Roy Ayers has captivated audiences worldwide, and while his catalog is filled with indisputable classics, Live At The Montreux Jazz Festival stands apart for both its musical substance and its rarity. This album has long been revered for several reasons: it is one of the earliest releases under the Ubiquity name, one of Ayers’ few documented live recordings, and a title that was pressed exclusively for the Japanese market. These elements combined have elevated the album to truly legendary status.
The fever charged “Daddy Bug”, the cool, psychedelic take on “In A Silent Way”, the fiercely grooving “Move To Groove” featuring vocals by Harry Whitaker, and the dynamically shifting “A Cup Of Tea” all showcase the band at peak intensity. The sharp-edged performances capture Roy Ayers at a moment of creative ascent, foreshadowing the golden era of Roy Ayers Ubiquity that was soon to follow.
This is, without question, a live recording fueled by pure exhilaration.
Text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY)

Plays great, looks super cool! This music (and movie) are deeply special to me, so glad you had this on vinyl!
This item came perfectly wrapped and sealed, helix sounds is an amazing seller and I would gladly buy from them again
For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
This album sounds as good and hits as hard as it did when it was released! Extra fun getting it from Helix Sounds, they always have the best stuff :)

I got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
