1974 studio album by Charles Earland
Leaving This Planet double album by organist Charles Earland that was recorded in 1973 and released on the Prestige label.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "A definite departure from the type of earthy, groove-oriented soul-jazz he usually embraced, Leaving This Planet is perhaps Charles Earland's most ambitious album – not necessarily his best, but certainly his most surprising. Responding to the fusion revolution, Earland plays keyboards and various synthesizers in addition to his usual Hammond B-3 organ and thrives in a very electric setting... he leaves no doubt just how much he's enjoying this surprising change of pace."[ 5]
