I believe that is correct. It's also possible that they have reached the end of the licensed period, and may never sell 5,000.

Does it include the early "free" sessions she did with Albert Ayler??

Got it. Love it. "Unforgettable" is great, too. He's got two top-shelf band leaders behind him on this, as well. The first half is Gerald Wilson and the last half is Oliver Nelson. Can't beat that!

patricia - this is from AMG: REALLY!!! B)

Yes. You put the needle on the inside part of the album and it spirals OUT. The albums themselves were called "Counterrevolutionary Music for In-Store-Play". One was R&B tunes by "Con Funk Shun", "Kool & the Gang" and more. The other album was rock with "Southside Johnny", "John Cougar" (before Mellancamp), "Scorpions", etc.

I have a couple of promo albums from Polygram where the groove starts on the inside of the disk and moves OUT.

I like it a lot.

If not the first.......at least one of the first. Different cover, though. (this one's ugly!)

How does this music compare to albums like "The Cup Bearers" and "A Sure Thing"?

Coming to Yoshi's in February: The Tony Williams Project with Jack Dejohnette, Larry Goldings & John Scofield

Wow. That's fast! Usually these sets sit on the "Running Low" list for months.

That's the right URL. They have "Island of Real" and "Peaceful World" CDs for $12.98.

I think "Peaceful World" was originally a 2LP set.

EKE, thanks for resurrecting my thread from the BNBB morgue!

I never realized that all those folks were on that album. I think I had it at one point in the early 70's. I remember that there was a "jazz angle" to it, but I probably didn't 'get it' at the time.

... or Hank Mobley

Just noticed that the Blue Mitchell set is on the "Running Low" list. Might have to order that one pretty soon.

I'm just messin' with ya', Rooster.

Rooster, you must have forgotten about THIS Conn from the 70's:

As I mentioned in the other thread, I like this series a lot. The lyrics sound a bit dated, but that's OK. There's plenty of good vocals, spearheaded by Andy Bey.

Oh, yeah. There's been a bit of inflation in the music biz over the last few decades.

Nice avatar, Lon!!

Whoa! Nice avatar, Lon!!! B)

Is this what you're looking for? Jazzmatazz

Thanks Alfred. I'm pretty sure it was the same quartet, though: George Cables (p), Rufus Reid (B], Eddie Gladden (d).
