1) Capricorn Moon MBrown 23:02
Note: According the original ESP release, Maupin appears on "Exhibition". The BASE reissue (as well as the later ZYX CD reissue) lists "Exhibition"; However, this track is seemingly Alan Shorter's "Mephistopheles" with
no reference to the Brown track found on the original issue. The lineup for this track is Rashied Ali (drm), Ronnie Boykins (ab), Marion Brown (as), Alan Shorter (tr). In 2006, ESP reissued the
entire album with all four tracks. Track information is from that CD issue.
