London’s Clap City Records releases limited-edition reissue of Tribe’s ‘Farewell To The Welfare’
This December, London-based independent label Clap City Records will be reissuing the 7inch version of the highly-obscure 1975 jazz-funk classic ‘Farewell To The Welfare’ by Wendell Harrison and the legendary Detroit Tribe collective.
This extremely well-crafted reissue celebrates one of Harrison’s most notable recordings, and features some of the most prolific members of the Tribe crew including trombonist Phil Ranelin, pianist Harold McKinney, bassist Lopez Leon, drummer George Davidson and many others.
Limited to just 300 numbered copies, the record comes with a special edition Tribe sticker and a 28-page zine featuring photos and information detailing Wendell’s journey, and the beginnings of the Detroit collective. I highly recommend ordering a copy as soon as possible, as I expect this forty-five single to sellout very quickly. Orders are expected to ship out beginning December 5th.
Kudos to the good people at Clap City Records for putting together such an essential reissue that helps pay homage to one of the most legendary jazz collectives of it’s time.
