After more than 50 years away from vinyl, Catalyst's 1973 cratedigger favorite Perception finally returns in this exceptional reissue from Craft Recordings' Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series. This brilliant avant-garde work showcases the band's effortless mastery in dancing between soul jazz and moody fusion, creating a groovy sonic space that bridges experimental jazz with accessible funk rhythms.

Cut AAA from the original analog tapes by renowned mastering engineer Kevin Gray and pressed on audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl at RTI, this reissue captures every nuance of Catalyst's innovative sound. AllMusic has praised it as "brilliant avant-garde work," while All About Jazz noted that the album offers "perhaps the best viewpoint of this interesting group," making this long-awaited vinyl return essential for both jazz collectors and newcomers to the band's unique musical vision.
