Jazz-rock without a speed limit — and finally without the dust.

In 1971, Frank Ricotti and Michael de Albuquerque weren’t chasing genres — they were bulldozing the fences between them. Vibraphone meets fuzz guitar, jazz chops collide with psychedelic folk flourishes, and even the covers refuse to play it safe. Melanie and James Taylor get fearless reimaginings; the originals crackle with restless invention.

Long a cult favorite whispered about by collectors, First Wind now bursts back into the world remastered and expanded with unheard BBC sessions and rare single sides. Over 50 years later, it still sounds like the moment rules stopped mattering.
