That's a great record. I didn't know they'd changed the name. Why do they do that? As if his discography wasn't already complicated enough. 

I agree it’s pretty confusing. I always have to check out Discogs when buying a new Steve Lacy record.

I recall this being pretty good although my copy was well used/worn !

Arthur Jones----Scorpio----(America) 

Interesting set. Curiously Discogs dates this issue to 1971 the same year as the BYG release. Seems odd given that they are both French labels. The liners to the America issue are just in English - perhaps this edition was for export ? Sound/pressing  is better than typically found from BYG issues.

My understanding is that after Delcloo had a falling out with the BYG people, he took the tapes of that record and Coursil's "Black Suite" to Pierre Berjot, who issued them on America.

I've never heard of this record before. Quite the band - Corea with Grossman, Dave Holland & Jack DeJohnette. It looks like it has never been put out on CD & some editions are going for big bucks: https://www.discogs.com/master/734497-Chick-Corea-The-Sun

 

very good record. Have the 1970 black vinyl pressing.

The missing tracks were damaged on the master tape.

that's too bad. I have the LP set but never owned the CD version.

I considered culling this from my collection. Gave it a spin to check and immediately thought , "no way" and having played it through several times it rejoined other Farmers on my shelves.

I find that that's a recurring issue when reviewing for a cull. Perhaps I should just listen more often to those I have...

That's a real favourite of mine because of that piano trio. 

With culls you just have to be brutal. Brush the tears from your eyes. No time for pity or sentiment.

Yeah it’s the same trio as on Basra by LaRoca which is another favorite of mine. Farmer is such a different player than Henderson but it works with both of them. 

I am a little more careful with culling records from my collection. At this moment there are only about 5 or 6 on my list but not sure yet so haven’t put them down for sale yet. Repeated listens could really change your feelings about a record or even the artist himself. 
 

Now playing:

"Culling"?  What is this word "culling"?
