Fusing Indo and spiritual jazz influences, the albums were originally recorded and produced between 1965 – 1969, at Denis Preston’s Landsdowne Studios.

The five albums include: Shades Of Blue (1965), Dusk Fire (1966), Phase III (1968), Change Is (1969) and Live (1969).

Though Jazzman reissued the Landsdowne Sessions in a limited box set in 2018, this marks the first time the records have been reissued individually.

Each LP has been remastered from the original analogue tapes at Abbey Road Studios, with replica artwork.
