Pharoah Sanders- Karma-LP

Pharoah Sanders' Karma stands as a landmark in spiritual jazz, anchored by the monumental 32-minute "The Creator Has A Master Plan," where Sanders and vocalist Leon Thomas weave African rhythms and yodeling into a transcendent soundscape. Alongside the meditative "Colors," this album captures a bold, exploratory spirit that defined a moment in jazz history. Its release on Impulse! Records in 1969 marked a vivid statement, pairing adventurous music with a distinctive laminated jacket that has become a visual signature for collectors. This 1969 pressing brings Karma into your collection with the original laminated jacket intact, offering a tactile link to the album’s era. The vinyl shows moderate surface wear consistent with its age but plays with clarity, leaning toward a VG+ listening experience that balances vintage character without undue noise or skips. It’s the kind of record that invites you to settle in for a deep session—just be prepared that “The Creator Has A Master Plan” might take up an entire side, so you won’t be skipping tracks anytime soon.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
