With Printed Inners. Catalog Number: AJX2LP902 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 676499090251 The James Taylor Quarter were the original group on the Acid Jazz scene, and In The Hand Of The Inevitable was their 1995 triumphant Top 40 return to the Acid Jazz label. Recorded over a year, produced by James Taylor and Acid Jazz Records founder Eddie Piller, it was a thrilling compendium of everyone's favourite musical influences, from Hammond grooves, funk rock, and Mizell Brothers inspired fusion. It became James' best-selling album, and in retrospect his most popular album amongst his fans. The original vinyl issue was missing two tracks that were on the CD and this 30th Anniversary Edition is released on double vinyl with those two tracks now included. The release includes picture sleeve inner sleeves with in-depth sleeve notes by Acid Jazz's Dean Rudland and new pictures from the album sessions, housed in a wide-spine sleeve. The CD includes two tracks from the album sessions - 'Love Ballad' and 'Astral Plane' - which only appeared on single releases. The former is a cover of the Limited / George Benson classic and the latter a great slice of '80s influenced electro-funk.
