Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of a newly re-mastered 6CD clamshell boxed set anthology featuring all the recordings released by Vertigo Records by the legendary jazz-rock group Nucleus and their founder Ian Carr. "Torrid Zone - The Vertigo Recordings 1970 - 1975" features every track from the highly celebrated albums "Elastic Rock", "We'll Talk About It Later", "Solar Plexus", "Belladonna", "Labyrinth", "Roots", "Under The Sun", "Snakehips Etcetera" & "Alleycat", all newly re-mastered from the original Vertigo master tapes. The trumpeter and flugelhorn player Ian Carr was one of the most respected musicians of his era, a true pioneer who saw the potential in fusing the worlds of jazz with some of rock music's sensibilities. Tiring of the current forms in British jazz, Carr formed Nucleus in 1969, around the same time as Tony Williams was pursuing new paths with his band Lifetime and Miles Davis was experimenting on the album In a Silent Way. With saxophonist and keyboard player Karl Jenkins, drummer John Marshall, saxophonist Brian Smith, bassist Jeff Clyne and guitarist Chris Spedding, the first line-up of Nucleus signed to Vertigo records in late 1969 and recorded the ground-breaking album "Elastic Rock" in January 1970. The original album liner note stated the aims of the band thus; 'Nucleus is just what the word implies - a small, tightly knit group of musicians. We're all closely involved with each other musically, and some of us have played together in different contexts before, but this is the first time we've met to try and realise our common musical ideals. We see music as a continuous process and have tried to express this on the album. We mean continuous not simply in the physical sense of non-stop sets, but in the general sense that we don't recognise rigid boundaries, but try to use our total musical experience, whatever it may be'. This re-mastered 6 CD clamshell box set celebrates the vision and genius of Ian Carr and all the musicians associated with Nucleus During the period the band recorded it's most influential work. "Torrid Zone" features an illustrated booklet with an essay by writer Sid Smith and is a fine tribute an innovative force in British jazz.

Falls apart after 5 wash cycles
Terrible. Do not buy. Only last 5 wash cycles before unraveling and falling apart. Also, uncomfortable as hell.

Disappointing, durability despite softness
Size: X-Large, Color: Organic Cotton 2 (5 Black)
I really wanted to love these underwear. The material is incredibly soft and has a nice, thick feel that seemed promising at first. Unfortunately, the quality doesn’t hold up. After about 12 washes, the seams started coming apart, and within two months, I had to throw away two of the five pairs because the fabric separated from the waistband. It’s frustrating because they were so comfortable initially, but the poor stitching makes them a bad investment. I wouldn’t recommend these unless the company improves their durability or you’re OK with losing One or two pair of the five

Super soft and comfortable!
I haven't bought new underwear in forever. I used to wear thongs, but now find them incredibly uncomfortable. The last few times I've tried to buy new underwear, the sizing was either way off (I'm a medium, but gave up after having to return them for a large and then extra large) or the quality was horrible (two brands stretch waaaay out and they can fall down while wearing them (I have larger ass-ets, so they shouldn't start to slide down during use). I tried these after buying some bamboo pyjamas and I love them! They are incredibly soft, comfortable, and stretchy. I can use them all day, and they work well, whether I'm lounging on the couch or wearing them under my spandex shorts at the gym, they don't ride up or slide down. They are both comfortable and look sexy, while providing support in all the right places. I haven't had them too long, so I can't speak on the durability, but they appear to be of good quality and I plan to order more, this time without the band.

Well made, light fabric. Waist doesn't roll.
These bamboo underwear really do keep you cool.
They fit true to size, and wear easily. the wide elastic waist band doesn't roll on me.
They are comfortable to wear, washed and dried easily.
The material has some stretch to it, but not a lot.
Well made, no stray strings. Perfect fit for me.
Just what I was looking for.
