After hearing it on Dusty fingers, I immediately copped probably that same re-issue you have. And I'd love an original as well since i no longer have the re-ish, lol. <br /><br />You also may want to check out her "Moving Finger" from her "The Rubaiyat Of Dorothy Ashby" LP from 1970. And also "Windmills Of Your Mind" cover off her Dorothy's Harp LP, which I just conveniently found links for both over at the excellent GhostCapital blog here:<br />http://ghostcapital.blogspot.com/2010/05/dorothy-ashby-dorothys-harp-rubaiyat-of.html<br /><br />Still, imo, this "Afro Harping" LP is her best front to back burner.<br />thanks for posting Mr. Craig!vergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343471576213122761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170963849033685879.post-79533173432743400062012-03-27T19:54:14.539+10:302012-03-27T19:54:14.539+10:30This album has something of a following in Bristol...This album has something of a following in Bristol, UK along with Alice Coltrane's Journey In Satchindananda of course. It's actually quite hip with the street kids and hippies, partly thanks to Fopp Records I think. Shame there aint more jazz harp around really, for this Dorothy Ashby effort is a corker. I have a nice deep groove reissue which sounds fantastic, though I'd love an original.mondomarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170963849033685879.post-15898252472728959522012-03-27T07:40:48.867+10:302012-03-27T07:40:48.867+10:30Strange thing.

I was desperate to find a copy of the Dorthy Ashby "Afro-Harping" LP but had no luck.
