In The Hand of The Inevitable - Vinyl (2LP)

Let there be return.

In The Hand Of The Inevitable marked The James Taylor Quarter’s triumphant homecoming in 1995 — a return to Acid Jazz and a record that carried the full weight of groove, craft, and community.

Recorded across a year and produced by James Taylor alongside Acid Jazz founder Eddie Piller, the album draws together a wide spectrum of influence. Hammond-driven soul, funk-rock energy, and Mizell Brothers–inspired fusion move freely through the tracks, forming a collection that feels both expansive and deeply rooted. Over time, it has become not only James’ best-selling release, but one of his most beloved by listeners.

This 30th Anniversary Edition restores what was once missing. Now pressed across double vinyl, the two tracks absent from the original LP finally take their place in the sequence. The package is completed with picture inner sleeves, new session photography, and detailed liner notes that trace the story behind the music.

This is more than a reissue.

It’s a restoration.

A celebration of sound made to move bodies and carry memory.

Let there be rhythm.

Let there be heritage.

Let there be groove that endures.
