High Spirits

On 16th October 2026 Fontana Records are making Jamaican/British jazz saxophonist Joe Harriott’s album ‘High Spirits’ available again for the first time since it was released in 1965. This new edition was mastered at Abbey Road using high definition 24bit/192kHz audio files, copied directly from the original stereo analogue master tapes (previously only the mono version has been on vinyl). Images of those tapes are included in the package alongside new sleeve notes written by author, compiler, and documentary maker Tony Higgins, who also acts as Executive Producer for Universal Music’s ‘British Jazz Explosion’ series.
