The James Taylor Quarter were the original group on the Acid Jazz scene, and ‘In The Hand Of The Inevitable’ was their 1995 triumphant Top 40 return to the Acid Jazz label. Now available as a deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition. Recorded over a year, produced by James Taylor and Acid Jazz Records founder Eddie Piller, the album was a thrilling compendium of everyone’s favourite musical influences, from Hammond grooves, funk rock and Mizell Brothers-inspired fusion. It became James’s best-selling album, and in retrospect his most popular album amongst his fans. The original vinyl issue was missing two tracks that were on the CD and this 30th Anniversary Edition is released on double vinyl with those tracks now included. The release includes picture inner sleeves with in-depth sleeve notes by Acid Jazz’s Dean Rudland and new pictures from the album sessions, housed in a wide-spine sleeve. The CD also includes two tracks from the album sessions – ‘Love Ballad’ and ‘Astral Plane’ – that only appeared as single releases.
