Getting’ Together was a favourite of the late journalist Charles Fox. In a BBC interview around 1980, Pepper told Fox he thought it was his best playing on record “up to that point”. He also singled out the trumpet contributions of Conte Condoli.

I still have my vinyl copy. Bit of a rough pressing, perhaps, but the cover is great.
