Simultaneously chaotic and celebratory, Love Cry is one of Albert Ayler’s most approachable yet radical recordings—a cosmic jazz fever dream that fuses New Orleans funeral marches with free jazz catharsis and bursts of gospel ecstasy.
Backed by his brother Donald Ayler on trumpet and the ever-mystic Milford Graves on drums, Ayler tears through anthemic themes like “Ghosts” and “Love Flower” with raw vibrato, yelps, and holy fervor. It's a wild ride—one foot in the church, the other in outer space.
This is an original 1968 US pressing on Impulse! (A-9165), complete with the original company inner sleeve and a rare printed Japanese insert. The gatefold cover shows a small crease (graded VG+), but both vinyl and packaging are otherwise beautifully preserved—vinyl is NM, and the gatefold is heavy and clean.
