DESCRIPTION (musiconvinyl.com)
As one of the most prominent figures in late 20th century blues, singer/multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal played an enormous role in revitalizing and preserving traditional acoustic blues. Not content to stay within that realm, Mahal broadened his approach. He took a musicologist's interest in a multitude of folk and roots music from around the world - reggae and other Caribbean folk, jazz, gospel, R&B, zydeco, various West African styles, Latin and even Hawaiian music. The African-derived heritage of most of those forms allowed Mahal to present the blues as part of a wider musical context. The 2LP The Hidden Treasures Of Taj Mahal was originally released in 2012 and a compilation of some of Mahal's finest work. LP 1 features studio tracks that were previously unreleased, recorded between 1969 and 1973. LP 2 contains the full live concert from April 18, 1970, at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The Hidden Treasures Of Taj Mahal 1969-1973 is available of 1500 individually numbered copies on crystal clear & blue marbled vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve and includes printed innersleeves. 180 gram audiophile vinyl Gatefold sleeve Includes printed innersleeves 2LP compilation album with studio recordings (LP1) and the full live concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London, 1970 (LP2) Limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on crystal clear & blue marbled vinyl
