ICP025: Extension: The ICP Orchestra Performs Herbie Nichols (CASSETTE)
These cassettes were discovered in Misha Mengelberg’s apartment in 2025, virtually untouched since their release in 1984. They do look 40 years old, but they have never been played, each cassette is “Mint Item / Faded Box” condition, but not shrinkwrapped (they never were).
