The rendell/Carr lps actually show up for sale on eBay fairly often, but they still go for big bucks nonetheless.

I mentioned Clem Alford because the "mirror image" lp which I have has Amancio D'Silva on guitar. It's not super amazing but an interesting session. The Garuda lp is more of a funky/slick affair but still quite good actually and was supervised by none other then Denis Preston at lansdowne studio. His production was so amazing! Those lansdowne records sound incredible. I have an audiophile friend with a $15,000+ turntable and he'd kill me for my pristine Japanese stereo copy of "dusk fire"..it sounds like a dream on his system...not a single crackle or click to be heard!

Tonight's listening:

Everything is everything "just flash in the cosmic pan" (Columbia, Japan) a totally scarce 1970 lp featuring Steve grossman, Dave liebman, John Abercrombie, Reggie workman, Joe bonner and a few others....killer free jazz/fusion stuff

Clifford try to find a Japanese issue of "le nouveau jazz".... It should be cheaper and likely easier to find in clean condition....I'm often quite suspect of french pressings..in general not the best quality.

I,m seeing Francois Tusques live this Friday at the Vancouver jazz festival with William Parker, Hamid Drake, and Kidd Jordan!

Not sure of the original quantities but it must have been only in the hundreds, certainly no more than the low thousands. 'Shades' in particular is very scarce in good condition. I remember reading about the Michael Garrick Argos that his biggest seller ('The Heart Is A Lotus') was only about 1000 copies.

Sold my copy of this to a Japanese collector when Vocalion reissued it on CD. It was the only time I ever got "big bucks" for any of my vinyl sales and even then it was only about £120.

...if I knew then what I know now.......

edit 2: to wonder why initial odd image disappeared after first edit - I just give up!

KH Stockhausen or ECM?

Neither I'm afraid. Sorry about that, the image was there when I pressed 'post', honest. Something very odd is happening today because as I type this it's in a different font and small without the usual 'font' and 'size' adjust options available.

Anyway the image was of the cover for Brotzmann/Hamid Drake - Solid and Spirit [Nero's Neptune]

edit to add: having posted I'm relieved to see the odd font issue hasn't translated to the post - too weird

Glad to see you got a copy. A few outlets in the UK seem to list it. Its a fine album. I'm not sure of there really is afrenzy over getting hold of this one or whether Oto just sold what they had quickly. Recommended whatever

Yes, I'm enjoying it. I think Oto quite successfully created the "frenzy" - at least in my head

DUKE PEARSON- it could only happen with you

1st of all this lp is audiophile quality, this lp sound quality is on par with Victor Feltman- Secret of the Andes. rvg recorded, but non rvg stamped. rvg, i think, made this sound like one of his CTI records, it sounds incredible, very clear sound, its not all compressed and maxed out like some art blakey bluenote, its almost light a straight pass of the master tape.

has this ever been issued on cd, wasnt there a duke pearson box set at some point? well i cant believe it never got an early stand alone issue, its a great, modern work, it really one of pearsons most cutting edge projects. so blessed i finally found a copy of this, but i never expected the SQ to be so good

Chewy - It is included in the Duke 'Mosaic Select'. Don't think it appeared in the 'rare groove' series. I have a Japanese King pressing of this one and it sounds predictably excellent.
