Changes: The Complete 1970s Atlantic Recordings - on 7 CDs, 8 LPs, and digital formats - collects new remasters of all seven of jazz bassist-composer-leader Charles Mingus' studio albums as originally released on Atlantic Records between 1974 and 1979 plus bonus material. The CD version includes three previously unreleased outtakes: "Big Alice," "The Call," and "Music for 'Todo Modo.'" The LP version, though, offers more: those three tracks plus additional unreleased takes for "Big Alice" and "The Call" and previously released alternates (which first appeared on CD in 1993) of "Big Alice" and "The Call."
