In 1962, jazz saxophonists Paul Desmond (alto) and Gerry Mulligan (baritone) joined forces to record the exquisite album “Two Of A Mind”. “Blight Of The Fumble Bee” is a Mulligan-penned composition that opens the second half of the LP, captured here from an excellent reissue released in 2016 by ORG Music, limited to 1000 copies worldwide (not numbered, though). Mastered from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman and Chris Bellman (not credited on the hype sticker).

The front cover and labels state “stereo”, but this LP is actually mono.
