The Tribe Records co-founder’s lost album, recorded in 1975, rumored to exist no more. Mastered from the original tapes and lacquered by Bernie Grundman.

“As I thought about reflecting on an aggregate of music for this album, I projected my attitude and spirit while living and working here in Detroit. We are earning and learning a new way of life which explicitly tells us to become self-reliant in taking care of our families and each other. Government hand-outs are not an option for us.”
– Wendell Harrison

A great series unfolds in episodes….

…and the best stories are told in chapters. While the Tribe label has remained one of the brightest lights of America’s 1970s jazz underground, the label has never been feted with a definitive set of reissues, and has thus remained obscure.

That changes now.

This is your chance to indulge in the music and story of one of the most meaningful, local movements of the 20th Century Black American experience, one that expanded outwards towards the cosmos. In the words of the collective themselves, “Music is the healing force of the universe.”
The box will ship with seven albums inside, and will come with an exclusive podcast series that features interviews with label co-founders Phil Ranelin, Wendell Harrison and more, to help guide you on your three week journey through the Tribe Records collective.
