Vinyl: Charles Mingus Octet Live Monterey Jazz 1965 2LP Set 2x12" + 1 EP

Charles Mingus Octet – Recorded Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival

Rare live recording documenting Charles Mingus and his octet at the Monterey Jazz Festival on September 18, 1965. This is a complete 3-record set, consisting of two full-length LPs plus one Extended Play (EP), as originally issued.

The EP contains They Trespass the Land of the Sacred Sioux presented in two parts. This mixed LP + EP configuration is correct for this release and is not a mismatch or later substitution.
