THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

First Wind by Ricotti & Albuquerque is a 1971 jazz-rock cult gem. UK vibraphone king Frank Ricotti and guitarist Michael de Albuquerque throw a genre party—jazz, rock, and folk crash with experimental zest. The result? Taut originals like 'Go Out And Get It' strut with bite, while covers of Melanie, James Taylor and Spanky and Our Gang hit the spot. Backed by a killer crew, it’s cool, bold, and remastered by Prof. Stoned to sound razor-sharp. Critics in ’71 were hooked—Record Mirror purred 'very nice' (Brit-speak for gold), Cream praised its polish. Now, this first artist-approved expanded reissue adds unearthed BBC sessions and rare Michael de Albuquerque singles—your ticket to a lost classic, fully loaded.
