Cal Tjader: Tjader (Fantasy 8406, released 1971, complete LP)

Coming off of an ill-fated experience with the Skye Records label, Cal signed with Fantays for a second time and this was among his first releases. This album hits on a lot of popular tunes of the day, covering songs from the catalogs of Santana, Donovan, Motown, The Beatles, and even updates a song that his brother Curry Tjader performed with the Baja Marimba Band (Julius Wechter's song "Fresh Air"). Track List ---------------- I Showed Them Wear Your Love Like Heaven First There Is A Mountain What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life Fresh Air You Keep Me Hangin' On She's Leaving Home Evil Ways Mambero This LP copy was in fairly good condition, and only has a few spots of minor noise here and there. Pretty sure this was pressed by RCA as the vinyl is very thin, as in Dynaflex-thin...we're almost talking a sound sheet here! 😁
