Guru Guru – Dance of the Flames (1974): A Jazz-Fusion Turning Point
The 2006 reissue by Revisited Records (distributed by SPV) is highly regarded by audiophiles.

For listeners seeking the "FLAC" experience, this 2006 edition provides the necessary depth to appreciate the intricate guitar work and complex percussion that define the record.
