Revenant is planning big Albert Ayler box

[cih]

Cargo Records are selling this in the UK for £50 (the cheapest price over here that I can see) and say that these will be the last copies...

"Holy Ghost Rare & Unissued Recordings (1962-70) 10CD Spirit Box

Revenant have let us have the final copies of this fantastic box set - once these have gone then it will be deleted. Revenant follows up its triple grammy winning Charley Patton box with holy ghost, a career spanning collection of the music of the sax titan Albert Ayler (1936-1970). "

It has a 'release date' of Oct 11th

I might get it, along with American Primitive 1 which has just shown up on Amazon UK again, no doubt for a limited time.

Discovery Records in the UK is also listing the Ayler box. Price is in excess of £50 but I think shipping is free in the UK.

Wasn't sure where else to post this, but apparently Edward Ayler (father to Albert & Don) has died.

Also, the short remembrance on the memorial page (linked through the above) is by Tony Shy. I wonder if Tony is a relative of Clyde Shy?
