Got the SHM CD version from Yamano Music in Ginza today. A birthday gift to myself. They had plenty of stock there. Can’t listen to it until my return to Australia, I am afraid.
An article in The Guardian:

"he died peacefully in his sleep at home in Wuppertal"
Sorry, posted simultaneously.
I wasn't sure whether I should subscribe. Your arguments won me over. Plus the potential to save on postage with combined international shipping.
Moderator, Would it make sense to combine this thread with the one for the first volume to just have a single thread for the whole PAPA series?
The Horace Tapscott Quintet CD on the Mr Bongo label states "Licensed from Flying Dutchman Archives". I just read that Bob Thiele's son (Bob Thiele Jr.) is reviving the Flying Dutchman label. I wonder whether he owns the rights to the label's back catalog as well.
Very much looking forward to this set.
Interesting article, @romualdo. I am glad Horace Tapscott eventually agreed to record The Giant is Awakened for Flying Dutchman. I love this record, even though Tapscott was apparently not too pleased with the outcome. Jonathan Horwich's IPI release of this record is to die for.
Try to see them whenever they play in Melbourne. Always interesting. The double bill with the Art Ensemble of Chicago was special. My last pre-Covid concert.
