Sonny Sharrock's Ask The Ages gets way overdue vinyl release

Guitar great Sonny Sharrock's stellar 1991 album Ask The Ages was pressed as a double 45rpm 12" set by Hive Mind.
Here's the scoop from Brighton's Hive Mind...
Prepare yourself for the first ever vinyl pressing of legendary free jazz guitarist Sonny Sharrock's seminal final album Ask The Ages, in a strictly limited edition 45rpm double 12” edition.
Sonny's classic final album swings between deep, lyrical melodicism and passages of pure fire music and features jazz legends Pharoah Sanders on tenor saxophone and Elvin Jones, member of the John Coltrane Quartet, on drums. The album was produced by Bill Laswell and originally released in 1991 on his Axiom label. The crystal clear production sounds amazing on 45 and this release is a must for fans of John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman and Sun Ra.
