(2-LP set) Celebrating 40 years since its first release, Johnny Hammond's "Gears" is given the deluxe treatment on CD & vinyl with the addition of six previously unreleased tracks and a brand new transfer from the original masters. Recognised as one of the finest jazz funk albums of all time, "Gears" was produced by the Mizell brothers and stands alongside their work with Donald Byrd at the pinnacle of their careers. The bonus cuts shine a light on the Mizell's production process and show the strength of the material from which the released masters were culled.
