When I was much younger, my father went to America and bought us back some lp's... one of them was this...I used to play it quite a lot... not sure it was this version though...
I've got all of the Weather Report CD's including the one above ("Heavy Weather") My favourites are "Sweetnighter" 1973 and "Mysterious Traveller" 1974 Also CD's by Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter. Wonderful band but never got to see them in concert, sadly.
I had this album and I think I saw them at the Glasgow Apollo in 1978. Chester Thomson went on to guest play with Genesis to give Collins a break from the drums so he could spend more time singing in the years after Gabriel left. Saw them a few times also. Weather Report were great!
