Extracts from liner notes:
"Ashram means 'hermitage'. Of the many humanly-constructed ashrams and monasteries throughout the world, I feel that the real ashram is in your heart...
...'Turiya' is a state of consciousness. It is regarded as the high state of Nirvana, the goal of human life...
...IHS means 'I Have Suffered'. It exemplifies the sufferings and tribulations of mankind in general. According to Eastern thought, suffering is a gift from God. Certain individuals suffer to a greater extent, more than others, depending upon Karma (action in general). The highest of these individuals are those who sacrifice themselves for humanity and love of God".

    Compared to Youtube, Spotify, etc. this record sounds incredible. Thick vinyl, thick jacket, thick sound. 5 stars

      i have read that the master tapes are long gone, so really the only way to hear this record properly is to buy an original copy! THIS IS IT!

        The original 1969 version got a laminated gatefold cover, the 1972 was matte finish paper gatefold. You can follow this with other Impulse releases. Check the matrix numbers to see if it's original.

          Does anyone know how to distinguish the original 1969 copy from the '72 reissue?

            Essential Alice. Cosmic jazz with Ron Carter and Rashied Ali providing great backup. A lush sound with majestic swirling harp.This is one of her masterpieces.
