French Musidisc pressing. The cover is a bit worn, but the disc is in fine condition.

yeah, I have the US Emarcy pressing but the original Philips surely is a beaut.

Certainly your good deed for that day. Every time I listen to it I find more to enjoy from it

1984 Japanese issue. I haven't played this in years, and notice how many Coltrane licks Joe Henderson uses .....

Art Ensemble of Chicago - Fanfare for the Warriors (Atlantic, 1974)

Weird cover on this release, but it sounds great.

I should compare my original test pressing with the Koch cd.

Wow.

Were you involved in the Atlantic records as well as the others?

[Rabshakeh]

Group Niche - No Hay Quinto Malo (1985)

Cali salsa classic.

I've been looking for this ages. It is one of my favourite records from the Latin pantheon. I was going to import it from Columbia over discogs. Then one day I found it in the market for £15.

I have heard myths of Columbian vinyl being on a level with classic Jamaican pressings, and, whilst I can't comment, it does sound great.

It comes in a weird plastic case with the actual sleeve inside, not sealed. I'm not sure whether that's normal for Columbian vinyl.

One of today's arrivals from Japan

Dick Morrissey Quartet - Storm Warning! [Norma, Japan 1993]

"licensed from Chris Morrissey" so hoping it's legit.  Sounds really nice.  Couldn't wait for Decca...

I was not directly involved. The recording was produced by my friend Michael Cuscuna and he sent a copy to me.

Very cool.

I still think you should write a memoir/autobiography, Chuck.  You've been an active participant in lasting, IMPORTANT things in the history of the music.  We all love hearing your anecdotes here on the forum.  And I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to read about your life experiences in a more comprehensive form.

Don't mean to pester.  I'm just sayin'...
