Pithecanthropus Erectus: 1955-1957

~ Release by Charles Mingus (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Additional:
A release of dubious origin, this obviously compiles stuff from the original Pithecanthropus Erectus Atlantic album, along with other material from the same period, all nicely scattered.
Do yourself a favor: stay away and go grab the legit albums.
