agreed, it's truly an amazing album. found an OG stereo for cheap years ago.

Picked a copy up from Disk Union in Japan when I was over there. Mint stereo NY labels for about the equivalent of 30 bucks  !  (thank you kinuta and John :)).

the UA kenny dorham afro cuban is way better than expected.  i was so right in holding off for this one.

 

i thought the music matters was the wrong play for this session, i thought the UA would have more "charm" to it.  

 

As a bonus, my copy was owned by a famous back scientist! PHD in chemistry, Dr. Lloyd N. Ferguson- proud to have his copy!

I would grab that Barbecue Bob in .05 seconds if I saw it in a bin.

Assume Mamlish and Yazoo were somehow connected?

Don Kent, who owned Mamlish, was part of the New York "blues mafia".  Nick Perls, who owned Yazoo, did the mastering for many (perhaps all) of the Mamlish releases. After Perls died and Yazoo was sold to Shanachie, Kent worked on some Yazoo releases. So there was a definite connection, though Mamlish and Yazoo were separate companies.

thanks. A number of the covers look quite similar but I suppose they probably had the same graphic designer for some albums. I did order the Barbecue Bob LP for a reasonable-seeming price; his 12-string playing certainly was an influence on Mr. Fahey.

Another member of that gang was Bernard Klatzko, operator of the Herwin label. I knew all of them to varying degrees.
