That sounds embarrassing…

Thanks! I’m the one with mildest symptoms which means I am running the house at the moment. But when everybody crashed on the sofa this afternoon I took some time off The eldest finally eats a little and we even played together today. The wife is complaining more than she use to do so you know what that means 😜

Haha she does not know Dolphy. I’ve made a wishlist of course another gift: Last one for now. My birthday present by my parents

Christmas present by my wife. The acoustic sounds version. It sounds amazing

Merry Christmas to all of you. Christmas sucks for us as we all caught a nasty flue. My eldest is especially in bad shape. Sleepless nights for days now and not a sign of recovery yet. We had to cancel all our Christmas activities

https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/32176956 only 1400 dollars on Discogs. Anyone?

I’ve seen some sealed original copies in Discogs as well.

This is such a great record

Byard Lancaster - Live at Macalester College

Not for every one of course but some of the more rare finds are yes.

Nice opportunity to hear some more of Earl Cross as well. His name pops up a lot in the book As Serious as Your Life by Val Wilmer but he hasn’t recorded very much.

Well I still have hope everything will turn out okay and will wait for one more month but can’t say I like the whole process. Matt was very responsive in the beginning but I did not get any response on my last email as well.

Count me in! One less record for me coming year. Probably worth it

Now spinning here as well. Great record and that double bass is awesome 👏

I’ll give that one a try as well then!

Yeah I could imagine that. I’ve seen how the average customer treats books in libraries…. I was surprised by the condition of this one. It’s not even NM, it’s M. As you say Tyler probably wasn’t very popular and not rented out a lot.

Well there we go. Of course there is a little decolorization and residue visible but it looks pretty damn good. And most importantly: the vinyl itself is in absolute mint condition! So I conclude: for 35 euros, I made a pretty sweet deal. (That doesn’t happen to me too often…)

Yeah that’s a great one. Probably my favorite solo Lacy. Pretty accessible too by the way

That was the first Tone Poet I bought and yes it sounds amazing. It was for me also the album that made me decide I had to own every Hutch on Blue Note.

You don't like it"?

Well soon I've got a nice copy to test this method. I just ordered a copy of Charles Tylers 'Saga of the Outlaws'. In great condition but the sleeve is full of ugly library stickers. That's why I only paid 35 euros where EU based copies on Discogs go for 100 euro plus. But now of course the question is: will those stickers come off smoothly? If so I made a pretty sweet deal. If not i've probably paid for what it's actually worth....

This is great. Thanks so much!

so happy I finally found a copy of this on this side of the ocean. This is such a great record. Dwight James - Drums Byard Lancaster - Alto Saxophone Middie Middleton - Tenor Saxophone Clarence Bradley - Trumpet Khan Jamal - Vibes Howard Cooper - Bass
