About
It's only natural that, following his stint in Miles Davis' dark and mysterious electric outfit, keyboardist Chick Corea would make a smooth, sunny about-face with his first Return to Forever lineup. Brazilian singer Flora Purim and drumming hubby Airto Moreira brought a tropical tinge to Corea's influential 1972 fusion classic, propelling the <i>samba</i> groove of "What Game Shall We Play Today," the Mexican-<i>flamenco</i> verve of "Sometime Ago - La Fiesta," and the reflective pleasures of everything else, with Corea bobbing benignly overhead on electric piano.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Recorded February 2 & 3, 1972 at A & R Studios, New York City.
Cat#: ECM 1022 ST on front cover (down right), back cover (top right), spine and center labels.
There exist copies with a second cat#: 2301 022 on a tiny sticker on front cover (top right) which appeared from 1976 with the introduction of the label code, which is printed on the back of the cover at the bottom left (LC 2516).
This cat# appears only there, nowhere else.
These were probably remaining copies from ECM selfdistribution with the cat# of the new distributor on sticker.
