BLACK VINYL. Tony Williams certainly counts among those unique drummers in jazz today, whose work has had a lasting influence on styles and still does. "Play Or Die" was recorded and mixed in May 1980 in just two days with Tom Grant (keys, synths) and Patrick O'Hearn (bass, synths) at the Zuckerfabrik Studio in Germany. The album was released in an edition of only 500 copies at that time.
