Born in Texas but raised in Riverside, California, Quinn Harris first started playing music in 1954 when he saved up his paper route money for an alto sax. At a young age, Harris was influenced by jazz greats John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Eugene 'Jug' Ammons, and Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis. After a stint in the military playing with the 52nd Army Band, Harris attended Berklee College of Music in Boston where he met the Tavares brothers. His relationship with the brothers would continue throughout his career as Harris would later become their touring music director. Harris moved to San Francisco in 1970 where he supported himself gigging in nightclubs and doing promotional work for a number of clubs and bands in the area. While playing around the Bay Area with such acts as Canned Heat, The Whispers and Buddy Miles, Harris was approached one night after a gig by Janis Joplin who invited him to accompany her for a series of upcoming shows. After a chaotic rehearsal Harris turned down Joplin's offer to join her Kozmic Blues Band and focused his energy on recording and opening a jazz club in Haight-Ashbury called "Quinn's After Hours". In 1970 Harris recorded his first full length LP "All In The Soul" with his then band The Masterminds and it was released the same year on the boutique San Francisco label Reynolds Records. The album was followed up with a 7inch single penned by Harris and featuring the female Grammy nominated singer, Lady Bianca (Sly & The Family Stone). The single charted briefly in the UK and is considered a classic to this day. Harris' second album "Statements" was recorded and self-released in his hometown of Riverside, CA in 1975 (with his eight-piece ensemble The Masterminds). Now considered a classic... back then the album received little notice beyond the small jazz community of the Inland Empire. Harris' brother Huey, who had experience producing records in Los Angeles, offered to help Quinn with his next recording. What resulted was another great 7' single of two originals, "Protect Me From Myself" b/w 'I'll Always Love You". Getting frustrated with the music industry, Harris decided to pursue his education. First obtaining his teaching credentials and then his master's degree. Harris spent the remainder of his working career teaching music to High School students, eventually retiring in 2005. Although Harris never received the proper recognition he deserved during his recording career, his music has since found a proper audience with rare soul, jazz and funk collectors all over the world. Today we are extremely excited to announce the FIRST official reissue of Quinn Harris' funky soul-jazz classic "Statements". The album features songs made popular by Al Green, Roberta Flack and Minnie Riperton, as well as two originals penned by Harris himself. Fetching hundreds of dollars for an original copy, now this private-pressed record is finally getting a much-deserved reissue! Available as a limited 180g vinyl edition (500 copies) complete with the original 1975 artwork.

Great version, Love the packaging, Video quality is not perfect.
Really nice transfer considering the year this was made. I'm not sure if this could be cleaned up video signal wise any more than it is, because I'm not sure the source. But loved seeing the movie again, and it looks really good on my 138" projected image. Love the packaging.

4K Remaster Quality
I received the 4K / Blu-ray today 06/13 and l am very critical of video and audio quality. I'm not going to review the film but it is excellent with all the Monty Python influences and the iconic stars in the film! But just to assure everyone, the quality of these Criterion discs are perfect! I've never seen this film like this before, if you buy this one, you will not be sorry! The 4K disc also comes with a Blu-ray of the film. Just to mention, the George Harrison song at the end "Dream Away" is also outstanding! 5 Stars!

I'm a huge Time Bandits fan, and I wasn't disappointed
I saw this in the theater (I'm old) and a bunch of times on VHS, DVD and on TV. But nothing beats the movie in super-clear 4K, great sound and CLOSED CAPTIONING.

Epic
When it comes to 80s fantasy movies, the words that often come to mind are creative, dark, weird, and original. Time Bandits is the epitome of great 80s fantasy, especially the dark and weird part. A huge inspiration for my personal writing, Time Bandits is an epic film with some of the most creative and original imagery you will ever see in your lifetime. I had to own this in 4K UHD; it's just too special a movie for me. Spoiler: I still can't believe that scene with the exploding microwave.
