ROY AYERS – Silver Vibrations including ‘Chicago’.

Originally released in the UK only on Uno Melodic Records, ‘Silver Vibrations’ contains four unique cuts all of its own, plus extended takes of three songs, including the definitive version of iconic song & higly sought after ‘Chicago’. The rarity of the original pressing has led to eye-watering second-hand prices on re-selling sites. Silver Vibrations was perhaps the last album to retain the sound of Ayers organic signature of the latter 70s. The mysterious vibe and cosmic ruminations of Chicago, the unedited version of which is exclusive to this L.P., or the funky up- tempo Good, Good Music confirm this album is an essential. Title track Silver Vibrations was only ever released in the U.K.. Both Lots Of Love and Keep On Movin hark back to previous times and are a pleasant listen without being at all taxing. The wistful D.C. City, a close companion of Ubiquitys original recording of The Third Eye is, in many ways, quintessentially Roy Ayers.
