1ST EVER RELEASE from material that was recorded in 1978, Lotus Land Records brings you the amazing music of Darwin's Theory, the music of Darwin Jones as recorded at Sly Stone's (Sly & the Family Stone) personal home studio with an unknown band from Tulsa Oklahoma. While Darwin was doing session work at Sly's studio he made a strong connection with the engineer and was granted permission to record his strongest songs.
Here we have a 8 song LP featuring the heavier funk, and the more danceable-dj-able tunes from the sessions. On the 16 song CD we are featuring everything from the full session at Sly's studio, including two alternate takes and some demos that the band actually wrote in the studio (allegedly one of the tunes was started by the band finish a melody that Sly was whistling as he left the studio).
ALL of the material was unreleased prior to Lotus Land's release save "Accept the Truth" which was released on a 200 press demo 45 on Darwin's Theory Records from 1978.
The material was mastered from 1/2" tape, preserved by Darwin since the initial recordings. All material was transferred by Len at History of Recorded Sound (Culver City, CA) and mastered by Marcin Nowak in Los Angeles.  
Highly respected label Lotus Land's first ever vinyl LP, in the form of a previously unreleased monster of a project. As you'd expect strictly limited to 500. The amazing modern soul music of Darwin Jones, as recorded in 1978 at Sly Stone's home fortress studio. This LP includes 8 of the heaviest tunes from the full 17 they managed to unearth from tape. A long deleted press of only 500 means that this lp now commands up to £125 for a sealed copy!
Not hard to see why - Some sublime tunes on here

As a collector of vinyl for 30+ years it is with a heavy heart that I am selling off my entire vinylcollection - mainly due to the arrival of a small family & the need for  space that entails, coupled with lack of time for DJing and my spare time now being spent on creating music and setting up a small home studio. It feels right that these records seek a new home & get the playout they deserve!   - Some fantastic records on offer here - A complete across the board selection of styles and Genres. Thanks for looking!  

I package all items carefully and only charge you what it costs me to package & ship. If you win multiple items I will refund any savings once I have shipped the item. Items are sold as seen, no returns. I play test every item before I sell. If there is a fault it will be explicitly described and stated within my listings. International bidders are welcome but please be aware Ebay now takes care of my international posting. I ship the item to their UK address & they send it onto you - I have no input to what they charge but please be aware Shipping items internationally with insurance is expensive. If you feel they have charged too much for postage - please check the postage stamp when you receive - I'm reliably informed they will refund and discrepancies in charges. I aim to post items to you within 3 days of PayPal payment clearing. However with full time shift work and family this is not always possible as the nearest Post Office is 3 miles away. However any delays are usually rare.  If you have any questions please get in touch.

Bid with confidence - I have a long record of excellent feedback and appreciate your custom!
