Joe Henderson, Inner Urge (Blue Note blue label, Van Gelder), and

Bob Thiele and His New Happy Times Orchestra with Gabor Szabo, LIght My Fire (Impulse, white and black promo label). This had the appearance of a comical period piece turkey (confirmed on the second track of side 1 as an uncredited chorus of female vocalists sings, "Let's All Get Stoned" during a version of Dylan's Rainy Day Woman). But on the last song of the first side, Light My Fire of all things, Gabor Szabo unleashes a furious solo, followed by some rather fine Tom Scott, and this high level of solo play by Szabo and Scott more or less continues for the rest of the album.

Still got my copy of that one picked up in WH Smith's sale for 50p 'back in the day'. At the time, they had a truckload of US Atlantics and Stax being off-loaded.

Ah, the WH Smith 50p sales! I actually got a TWOFER for 50p there, once (it was the Reuben Wilson GM).

Amancio D'Silva et al - 'Cosmic Eye Dream Sequence' (Regal Zonophone)

Holy crap...

Now, and pedestrian by comparison:

Louis Moholo/Larry Stabbins/Keith Tippett - Tern - (SAJ)

I'm pretty sure ol' sidewinder has Homefromtheforest nearly beat on the rarities front (or at least they're neck-and-neck).

as usual, Cliffie confuses scarcity with value.

Well Clifford I'm sure sidewinder does have me beat! I don't have that cosmic eye lp but from the samples I've heard I'm not so sure I'd pay big bucks for it..didn't strike me as too amazing...interesting yes but not something I'd play very much I think.

Chuck you are right of course...rare does not guarantee good but I must say a lot of the "rare" records in my collection are quite good and in many cases some of my favorites by the artist in question. For example I find the two mid-70s Japanese only group records("stalks" and "the wire") by Steve Lacy to be among his very best group efforts.

Btw "people in sorrow" on the Nessa label was the first free jazz album I ever bought as a mid-teen after being first exposed to John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Thelonious Monk. I played that record a lot and now have a Pathe Marconi issue of it in my collection which is so much better because it's rare ;)

The 'Cosmic Eye' is a sort of dreamy prog-jazz album, very British I guess and very much of its early-70s time - I'm a big fan of John Mayer and Amancio D'Silva collaborations and Lansdowne Series in general though so wouldn't want to do without it. Never been out on an official CD release either - not sure if there is a problem with tape availability.

In a way, it is not so much an Amancio D'Silva album - more a John Mayer album. Conceptual similarities with his 'Rahda Krishna'.
