Mad About Records present a reissue of Imani's Out Of The Blue, originally released in 1983. The incredible San Francisco area jazz funk spiritual band Imani's Out Of The Blue was originally privately pressed in an edition of 500 copies. This is a deluxe reissue of an "impossible to find" original. Privately pressed by Preston Phillipps and Pam Byrd, this record has been called the "ultimate private press vocal anthem" of bay area jazz. If you like John Heartsman, Aposento Alto, or Minority Band, don't miss a true killer record. The label head of Mad About Records on the reissue: "I was at a 'jazz bop' party in Brighton, the UK in the late 1980s and Giles Peterson played an amazing track that I asked him about from across the booth. I could barely hear what he said - all I caught was the word 'Imani'. Too much time had passed but finally, my own label, Mad About Records, is proud to present this ultimate jazz private press holy grail fully licensed. "
