Out of print as a standalone release for decades since its original 1974 release, and produced by George Harrison, Shankar Family & Friends is an almost-forgotten masterwork \u2014 an emotional pact on which two like-minded souls unite musical styles, cultures, and sounds in wondrous fashion. Memorable contributions from an A-list of American and English musicians \u2014 Ringo Starr (drums), David Bromberg (electric guitar), Billy Preston (organ), Nicky Hopkins (piano), Jim Keltner (drums), Klaus Voorman (bass), Robert Margouleff (Moog), Malcolm Cecil (Moog), Tom Scott (saxophone) included \u2014 add to the richness of a set that melds Eastern and Western traditions. They pair with Indian virtuosos who help turn Shankar Family & Friends into a journey laced with percussive, string, and vocal components that aren\u2019t soon forgotten. Sourced from the original analog tapes and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity\u2019s 180g LP presents the album in restored sound that illustrates the beauty of the playing, compositions, and chemistry. This reissue makes available on vinyl a Dark Horse Records title that hasn\u2019t been on LP since 1975. Yet it does so much more in the transparent way it showcases the textures, spiritualism, and breadth of unique compositions and Shankar\u2019s intoxicating side-long ballet suite. The inviting aura, generous spaciousness, and well-defined tonalities combine to take the music to transcendent heights \u2014 and place an exclamation point on a record that defined \u201cworld music\u201d well before the term became co-opted as a catch-all genre.<\/p>\n
