Albert Mangelsdorff Quintett - One Tension [Amiga] w. Gunter Kronberg, Heinz Sauer, Gunter Lenz, Ralf Hubner

my first by this band. Won't be the last

Excellent - I have it on a Dutch CBS LP (rather ratty, need to upgrade).

Yeah, the Dutch CBS comes in twice as much £££ so a bit of GDR chic suited me fine. It's a fine date, one of those where evrything played just seems in the right place at the right time

"Tension" is an excellent date..so is "now jazz ramwong"...both were recently expertly reissued by German CBS in tri-fold sleeve replicas of their original issues...I bought these to upgrade my 80s L&R German reissues and they sound and look fantastic. I also recommend "folk, mond and flower dream" as well as his early albums on MPS like "birds of underground" and "never let it end"...top notch stuff!

Sonny Fortune - Long Before Our Mothers Cried - (Strata-East)

Nice one

yeah, finally picked it up recently for fairly cheap. It's far more compelling than I'd expected, excellent date.

Yeah this one seems to be plentiful in terms of strata east titles...don't think I spent more then $35 on my mint copy. Wish all strata east titles were more in this price ballpark!!

^ totally. I'd check out a lot more of the obscure S-E titles if they weren't $200+. The Mtume Umoja is definitely worth spending ducats on - it's a wonderful album.

Folk Mond is a nice record. Got the original German CBS for cheap years ago, and in good nick.

I think mine (near mint) was about 15 Euros :D

Over the years I've had 3(!) nice copies of that Mtume 2lp and could never get into it for some reason. Flipped all 3 of them but kept a recording of it. I actually enjoy "rebirth cycle" more...but then again it's been about 6 years since I last heard the double...

Art Blakey-------indestructible --------(BN NY mono)

Along with Mosaic Buhainas Delight and Free for All . Art's best.

Yes, those are very good. Followed by 'The Freedom Rider' and 'Roots & Herbs'.

I have a Japanese Toshiba LP pressing of The Golden Eight. Excellent album. Need to dig it out again. (been a while since I was on a CBBB kick, though when it's a kick, it's heavy...)

Yes, it came out on Toshiba (I have it somewhere upstairs). Don't think that King ever did that one. Schema/Rearward have done the 'companion' album to that - must get hold of it !
