{"product_id":"acting-thinking-feeling-3xcd","title":"Acting, Thinking, Feeling (3xCD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eActing, Thinking, Feeling marks the first time that psychedelic jazz ensemble The Stark Reality's Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop album has been reissued in full (the 2003 Stones Throw Records anthology Now only contained half of the original album's music). The anthology also contains the band's out-of-print Roller Coaster Ride (first issued in 1969 on Now-Again in 2003), and a series of recently discovered, previously unreleased tracks in a 3-CD \"complete works\" box set. Besides the missing Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop songs, the most exciting additions to the Stark Reality's oeuvre are the three songs recorded between the earliest incarnation of the band - the big band that recorded \"Theme To Say Brother\" and \"Acting, Thinking, Feeling\" in 1968 - and the slimmed-down combo that recorded the Roller Coaster Ride and The Stark Reality Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop. These recordings display a band in flux, and color the development of Stark's genius. We hear the signature sound of his \"plugged in\" vibes for the first time; we hear an early stab at the psychedelic \"Red Yellow Moonbeams\" (and realize why his addition of John Abercrombie and his fuzz guitar was crucial to his vision); we hear a subtle change towards a more funk- and rock based sound. This anthology thus encapsulates the first known Stark Reality recordings - done for and in performance at WGBH, these transitional big band pieces, and the Roller Coaster Ride and The Stark Reality Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop albums in full. The liner notes are updated with Ahmad Jamal's participation, more photos, and full annotation of the additional songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMerry Go Round\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1:26\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-2\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJunkman's Song\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7:34\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-3\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThirty Days Hath September\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6:17\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-4\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Whale\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1:21\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-5\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Old Prospector\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7:47\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-6\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGrandfather Clock\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8:08\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-7\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCooking\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2:38\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-8\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eShooting Stars\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6:30\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1-9\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRocket Ship\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4:12\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2-1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDreams\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8:07\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2-2\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue Pillow\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5:01\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2-3\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSwing High\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1:23\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2-4\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eClouds\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6:03\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2-5\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTraveling\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1:48\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2-6\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBustin' Out Of Doors\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6:13\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2-7\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eComrades\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6:37\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2-8\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAll You Need To Make Music\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e12:19\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eActing, Thinking, Feeling \u0026amp; Roller Coaster Ride\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOn Being Black\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3:24\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-2\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNew World Generation\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8:31\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-3\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRed Yellow Moonbeams (Big Band Version)\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7:30\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-4\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRed Yellow Moonbeams\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9:10\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-5\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNani\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4:38\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-6\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePretty Music\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7:04\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-7\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRoller Coaster Ride\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8:01\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-8\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eToo Much Tenderness\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3:34\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-9\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSunday's Song\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e10:03\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-10\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eActing, Thinking, Feeling Pt. 1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4:15\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-11\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eActing, Thinking, Feeling Pt. 2\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2:19\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-12\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eActing, Thinking, Feeling Pt. 3\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2:01\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-13\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePrelude To Say Brother\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3:29\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3-14\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTheme To Say Brother\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4:28\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stark Reality","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46917628559556,"sku":"ZZ-NA5094-CD","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/files\/Photoroom_20261007_224143.jpg?v=1791427913","url":"https:\/\/getondown.com\/products\/acting-thinking-feeling-3xcd","provider":"Get On Down","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
