Count Five - Psychotic Reaction - Double Shot

[jeffcrom]

Steve Lacy - The Kiss (Lunactic); A Hiroshima solo concert from 1986. Superbly recorded and pressed, and the music is stunningly beautiful.

[porcy62]

Mendelson - Symphonies - Karajan, BPO, DG box set.

[Teasing the Korean]

Mendelson - Symphonies - Karajan, BPO, DG box set.

The Count Five/Mendelson pairing is particularly inspired!

[Teasing the Korean]

Zoot Sims - Waiting Game - Impulse! (stereo)

with THEE GREAT GARY McFARLAND!!!

[Teasing the Korean]

Nick DeCaro - Italian Graffiti - Blue Thumb

Each track on this 1974 album sounds like it was written for a love montage in a 1970 made-for-TV movie.

This is what Bruce Johnston would sound like if he didn't suck.

Freddie Hubbard - Open Sesame - BN, Music Matters 45rpm reissue.

This stuff is expensive, but it's definitely the best sounding reissue I met, and the cover art is simply gorgeous.

Nice one--I'm hoping to land a copy one day for myself. Was this a Japanese only release? I'm not familiar with the label.

Yes, I feel lucky to have found this. A friend saw it in an Atlanta-area used record store and, knowing how I feel about Lacy, called and told me to get down there right away. I picked up a mint copy of Cecil Taylor Live In Vienna at the same time.

There seems to be a present-day punk label called Lunatic Records, but this one was a small label out of Hiroshima. The Lacy LP is Lunatic 002; #001 was a compilation featuring four Japanese pianists. (I haven't heard it.) I'm not aware of anything else they put out.

Far East Family Band - Nipponjin Join Our Mental Phase Sound - Vertigo.

Prog Rock from Japan, 1975, produced by K. Schultze. I bet you don't know it.

Not that particular one, but Japanese Vertigo LPs are very hard to find!

Was this just recently re-issued on vinyl? I've seen sealed copies of it in two different shops this past week.

Thank you for the info re: Lunatic. It must have been one of those small print runs--and surely a keeper. I noticed on this page that evidently the master tapes of the gig still exist, with additional material that remains unreleased. Maybe some day it will surface. The LP from from the gig a couple of days earlier (Solo at Space Who) would also be a nice find, although with only 100 ever pressed, the chances of finding/affording it are likely slim.
