Pharoah Sanders - Harvest Time (収穫時期 - Radio Edit) / Love Will Find a Way (ラヴ・ウィル・ファインド・ア・ウェイ- Radio Edit) [RSD2024]

“The most hypnotic piece of music released in 2023 was recorded forty-seven years ago.” – NY Review of Books

This limited-edition Japanese radio edit single of “Harvest Time / Love Will Find a Way” is a complement to Pharoah Sanders’ seminal album from 1977, Pharoah, which was re-released by Luaka Bop in fall 2023 for the first time since its original pressing, in a deluxe 2 LP box set.

At times ambient and serene, at others funky and modal, Pharoah has long been a holy grail for collectors, seen as one of the artist’s most beloved records and one of the great works of the 20th century. Released after forty-five years, with Pharoah’s blessing, MOJO (★★★★★) called it “an ethereal masterpiece,” Pitchfork (8.9) deemed it “unearthly magic,” and The New York Times (Critics Pick) said that Pharoah “beckoned the Gods on the intimate Pharoah.”

Included here are two unreleased radio edits of “Harvest Time” and “Love Will Find a Way”—packaged in a limited, eye-catching Japanese sleeve exclusively for Record Store Day. On Black Power Black Vinyl.
