Real Gone and its Dusty Groove imprint (affiliated with the mighty Chicago retail store) returns saxophone great Monk Higgins' oft-sampled 1968 album Extra Soul Perception to both CD and vinyl.  The CD reissue features liner notes by Skip Heller.  The vinyl version is limited to 1,000 copies and comes on translucent blue vinyl in a replica of the original "Unipak" jacket.  Both of these editions are the first-ever reissues of the album in time for its 50th anniversary.
