Tear To A Smile / Mystic Voyage / Everybody Loves The Sunshine / Vibrations / Lifeline Coffret

Description

Five classic albums by Roy Ayers Ubiquity in a 3 CD Digipack, including "A Tear To A Smile," "Mystic Voyage," "Everybody Loves The Sunshine," "Vibrations," and "Lifeline." Full of Roy Ayers classics plus three bonus tracks. This retrospective highlights a prolific period in Ayers' career, focusing on the mid to late 1970s when he introduced the vibraphone into mainstream pop through a series of commercially successful albums for Polydor Records. Roy's Band, previously known as the Roy Ayers Quartet - a name Ayers considered too "square" and described as "a hindrance" - transformed into a much larger ensemble called Roy Ayers Ubiquity. Ayers stated, "At that time, in 1970, when I joined Polydor, my manager told me, 'Roy, you should call the group Ubiquity.' I asked what that meant. 'Ubiquity means a state of being everywhere at the same time.' I thought, 'This is destiny, because if everyone has one of my albums, I will be everywhere.' I thought it was great, so I started using that name." Key tracks in this box set include "Running Away," which is presented not only as the album version but also as a bonus track from the extended 12” mix, "Evolution," "Het, Uh What You Say Come On," "The Third Eye," "Tongue Power," "Domelo (Give It To Me)," "Searching," and "The Golden Rod." Roy Ayers announced his retirement from touring in 2023, and the five albums in this box set capture him at his peak. They remind us that at his height, his music was an irresistible force, providing spiritual nourishment for the soul as well as irresistible dance rhythms for the feet. The box set includes fabulous liner notes by Charles Waring (MOJO, Record Collector, and uDiscover Music).
