Inner Space is a compilation album of Chick Corea music released by Atlantic Records in 1973. The album contains all four tracks from Corea's 1968 debut album, Tones for Joan's Bones as well as two previously unreleased tracks ("Inner Space" & "Guijira") from the same recording sessions and two tracks ("Windows" & "Trio for Flute, Bassoon and Piano") originally released on Hubert Laws' 1969 LP Laws' Cause.

Release history[edit]

The album was first released as a double LP by Atlantic Records in 1973. Early CD re-issues omit two tracks, "Tones for Joan's Bones" and "This Is New", but the 2008 release on the Collectables Records label restores them.

"Windows" was recorded August 10, 1966 and originally released on Hubert Laws' 1969 LP Laws' Cause.
