Just on a limited edition Japanese disc (with great sound I might add...) Long gone I think...

Re: Live at the East: I'll say too that it's quite a revelation to hear Stanley Clarke on upright (with Cecil McBee) - hell, the basswork on that whole thing sends shivers of joy! I agree...Izipho Zam is great! Maybe we can begin going on to the Theresa's next...

I think it's disliked by many because nearly every song has vocals. If I remember right, the Golden Lamp may be the only one without, but it's been many years since I've heard it.

Ah, OK...you mean in a sound way - and not actual extension...Ok, I could probably hear that.

Oh, man - I cannot relate to the concept of Live at the East being boring! Healing Song, to me, is incredibly exciting - in a down home hand-clapping way! But, I think many of us probably revolve very close to Clem's ratings anyway.

I think you mean that it's Prince of Peace redone (from Izipho Zam) dontcha?

I love Pharoah - always have. As a child, I waited in extreme anticipation for the next Pharoah album. I will say tho that Love In Us All was probably a good place to stop

Don't forget Buffalo Springfield.

OH! Suri not!

I wanted to mention that if you have iTunes, you can listen to "Putumayo Radio" by going to Radio/International/Putumayo Radio.

Just playin'

So if I was digging Nessa LPs during my pre and teen years (and I was), then I should be reconsidering my choices from those days?

Complete Ligeti piano too (on BIS).

I'm in a Springfield VA hotel room confused as shit. I'm gonna have to think about this some...

Like the set very much. Standard thickness of LPs, but good sound quality. Have thought about selling the set tho, but not because of the music of course - just the redundancy of having the CD set. It was a little unsettling, at first, to have some of the LP overlap, but got used to it. Yes, I'm curious too what this set would fetch.

Sure Ubu - I just wanted to say that I'm not holding anything against you I'm just grateful to be able to hear from someone who has great taste in music who makes a discovery thru his own ears - unbiased by the commodity hounds. I'm with Robert on these too - I've been surprised by some of what's included on these comps. Also, if you are interested in making the jump to find out more about music from other cultures, there's a fun, informative magazine that I get called Songlines that comes with a CD. Rod

...but I like the idea of hearing someone (ubu) talk about his interest in this label on a purely musical level. I'm agreeing with Clem on this too (I'd add a few others to that list too: Trikont for bizarre explorations, fer instance), but Ubu doesn't have the Starbucks uber-hip lifestyle culture music in his face the way it is here and this is good to hear his side of what he truly enjoys. rod

M.G. and I were talking earlier about this on another thread... and you WANT the Ghana Soundz! Just ask the man with the elephant ears!

Well, you know, they still get away with charging list price of $64.99. $64.99 - $19.50 discount (30%) = $45.49 + $3.75 to the taxman (8.25% here) = $49.24

I used my Borders 30% coupon to get it. You can too!

WOW! I'm sitting here at this very moment eating Cinnamon Puffins (the cereal, that is...):

Dan, you know, I'm sorry if you were somehow offended, but in reality, you are reaching for mental connections and assumptions where there are none - not even a mere wisp. My comment had nothing to do directly with the topic title and that's OK - not only on this forum, but in life. It's called lateral thinking. I don't know either of these people either personally, professionally or culturally and no attempt was made to either smear, degrade, or lessen their character in any way. So what's the fuss? Am I being accused of poor product placement in someone's mental bookstore? Apparently my off-the-cuff "Emily Litella"-like McMahon/Carson ka-ching is now seen as a disruption of some kind of "weighty" mental pose that all who post to this topic are suppose to have? (...and, as an aside, it's too bad that anyone who begins to recognize the irony of this baseball player's earlier comments paired with the nature of his death won't be able to bring this up in discussion, because, you know, we must keep a dour face on EVERYTHING remotely "connected" to this topic). Clem may have issues about the guy(s) and I understand (and appreciate!) his defense (BTW, my comment didn't even get close to "levity"- for that would assume that I was commenting on the subject!) Me? I just tried to make a "funny."

Actually, more like tunes between raps! A definite distinction 'cause there were only 4 musical... uh...interludes...of about a minute or so each that would fade in and out on side two. So out of about 40 minutes of talking about "pussy", "jackin' off", and "getting high", you were treated to a glorious 5 or so minutes of wandering horn blowing. Someone apparently told him his standups were funny, so I guess Eddie believed it.

What does he hafta do with it?
