You going tonight? I can't make it sadly, especially as I have a ticket

Enjoy it. I saw them 10 years ago and it was one of the best. Lovens is a joy to witness

NP: Alexander von Schlippenbach/Evan Parker/Paul Lovens - Dettol Fra Du Noi [Po Torch Records, West Germany 1981]

Interestingly, for those of us who find such things interesting, this isn't credited to the von Schlippenbach Trio but to the three individuals on the front cover but in the typed catalogue insert and the back cover notes it's the Von Schlippenbach Trio...sorry, ex-librarian

If I was on the other side of the Channel…. Enjoy Rabshakeh! I am very much into both Schlippenbach and Parker where there music left me cold for quite a while.

I'm looking forward. I have never seen them together, and have only seen Parker in 'Sunday night pick up' setting, so I am hoping he is kept on his toes.

Pim you can have my ticket. If you leave now you should make it 😃

It took me some years to really get Parker but once I did I'm all in no matter who he plays with.

I've not seen him live since before Covid and was particularly looking forward to doing so in this trio again

Getting my car keys now…. 🤪
 

Yeah I just recently bought some of his more well known works like Conic Sections, 50th Birthday Concert, 2x3 =5 and von Schlippenbachs Monks Casino. I always like it when there’s something new to explore again when you’re taste just adjusted to something you knew but didn’t like before and now finally clicks. 
 

Now spinning a Black Saint treasure:

I’ve had the experience with Jackie McLean a few years ago and consider him a favorite now

An early one by the looks of it. Like most I only really know his albums from the World Circuit releases onwards

Only just noticed that it's Lytton not Lovens tonight. I think now that I recall mention of health issues for Lovens a while back

I had another one from that series (the blue one) but eventually found it less useful (or satisfactory) because it turned out that it included only ONE half of a total of 4 different WCJ LPs from the 50s (including Herb Geller's "Fire in The West"). So as soon as I had rounded up all 4 complete LPs that one went into my fleamarket crate and I was glad when I managed to sell it off. 

The usual problem is that if you are either in a shop far away from home or if you do not want to incur the risk of letting the record slip away "from under your nose" until the enxt time you can stop by that shop you take the plunge and buy it. And sometimes you just lose that way and end up with duplicates ...

In most cases we all know what we already have and what we don't, but if you have a huge collection it's just not feasible to remember EVERYTHING, particularly if you have not catalogued your collection in any form (let alone one you can carry along to the shop), and even such listings would not be of much use with reissues because with totally different covers, catalog numbers, labels etc. but identical contents you cannot possibly indicate in your listings "identical to .... " in each and every case. So unless you know for sure, for example, a given artist had only that one LP's worth of music released on a particular label (and you know you have that LP's worth already) ou still might make that mistake. But such is the obsessed collector's life ...

Yes agree to your reflections.  Living in a small town with no record shop I used the Internet the last 15 years and inform myself from Discogs.

My collection is catalogued  in my PARADOX database. But if you have - as mentioned- different recordlabels,coverart, LP-/or CD-number for reissues, the content is the only way to be on the right track.

Have also a  great part of titles from my collection  in a track Index with playing time to find out are the tracks originals or abridged versions. Pacific Jazz for example  had often different versions of the same track to name just one example  for these problens.

We collectors have to live with the situation as you say. 😬

These early releases of Ali Farka Toure, on French LP reissues that dustygroove has from time to time, are his best recordings, IMO.
