{"product_id":"protocol-1","title":"PROTOCOL 1","description":"Originally released in 1989, the first Protocol album became the blueprint for four stellar jazz\/fusion records to appear more than 20 years thereafter. These tracks are the original demos on which Simon played all the instruments. (His keyboard sound might just remind you of a certain Jan Hammer!) Guitar parts were added on just three tunes. Later, a variety of musicians would use the demos as guides to re-interpret the material on future Protocol recordings. While this album was made available as part of Simon's 6-CD box set in 2019, this is the first time it has been reissued as a stand-alone CD. (And yes, it is different than the streaming version, with 5 additional tracks!) Protocol comes in a beautiful 6-panel package, complete with technical liner notes and vintage photos from the maestro himself!","brand":"PHANTOM RECORDINGS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52377931317528,"sku":"762183711226","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4102940-2841589.jpg?v=1783454276","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/protocol-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
