    Galt MacDermot Woman Is Sweeter

    Now-Again Records

    LP £28

    The definitive reissue of HAIR composer Galt MacDermot’s masterpiece -
    a quirky instrumental album originally created as the soundtrack to a film about fashion designer Yves St. Laurent.

    Long loved by hip hop samplers - one of the first to use it was the legendary J Dilla - funk and rare groove aficionados and those into the shapes of rhythm. Woman Is Sweeter is one of the few releases to feature drummers Bernard Purdie and Idris Muhammad on the same album.

    Presented for RSD 2023 in the first ever reissue from master tapes, lac-
    quered in an all-analog transfer by Bernie Grundman with an extensive

    booklet written by Now-Again’s Eothen Alapatt, who worked with Galt Mac-
    Dermot since the 1990s, about the composer’s life in music.
