Larry Heard: 25 Years From Alpha Vinyl 12"

Stellar deep house grooves from Larry Heard reissued! The Chicago house innovator behind Fingers Inc. and Mr. Fingers needs no introduction, and here we are treated to a proper reissue of this late career gem. Originally released in 2008, 25 Years From Alpha finds Heard still in top form some 20+ years after his most iconic productions (i.e. "Can You Feel It"). Witness a master at work on the epic arpeggio-driven 15+ minute title track, the beautiful vibes of "Feathers Floating," and the jacking acid of "Mercurian Funk." Pic sleeve pressing just like the OG.
