ALL-ANALOG PRESSING FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG TAPE!
Lacquers cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio!

RARELY REISSUED ON VINYL SINCE ITS ORIGINAL 1972 RELEASE — a
genuinely elusive title in Terry Callier’s celebrated Cadet catalog. Even collectors
discussing later editions specifically call out how rare the album is on vinyl.

There are records that belong to a moment, and there are records that somehow
create a world of their own. Terry Callier’s 1972 masterpiece Occasional Rain is
one of the latter.

Recorded in Chicago and produced by the legendary Charles Stepney,
Occasional Rain was the beginning of Callier’s extraordinary run of albums for
Cadet Records. Callier arrived with a voice and musical language that refused
easy classification: part folk storyteller, part jazz musician, part soul singer, with
gospel, blues and psychedelia moving through everything he did. Stepney—the
visionary arranger and producer whose work helped define some of the most
adventurous music to emerge from Chicago—gave those songs an equally
expansive setting.

And then there are the voices.
