about

Split release with Williams' own Soul What Records & Astral Spirits. Yet another yearly installment of "An Ayler Xmas" just in time to cheer us up post election. This is the first time that there will be a vinyl version of Ayler Xmas jams!!

PLEASE NOTE: The vinyl version contains ONLY tracks 3 & 6 which are the same medley but done in entirely different styles by the Chicago and NYC groups respectively. HOWEVER, the vinyl version does come with a digital download of the ENTIRE album.
