Sad news!

Annoucement in Italy that Horo founder Aldo Sinesio died near Rome this week

Yes, sad news indeed. I guess that means we'll never get to hear those Horo albums reissued on CD.

Or.........maybe it means we WILL.

Yes, maybe it does. I wonder where the masters (are there any?) will end up?

The two Horos I most want on CD were/are the two Sun Ra quartet albums -- one of which did come out as a very nice quality CD boot (with really decent liner-notes, and high quality packaging), and the other of which I have on original vinyl (but which I'd love to have on CD).

The vinyl I have is "Other Voices, Other Blues" -- and forgetting the other.

This is an odd example, but I still think it's really low for labels to sell OOP items for inflated prices. Mosaic never does this. Eremite, for one, does.

Yes, I e-mailed Eremite a while back asking whether they still had any copies of their Jemeel Moondoc CD, "Revolt of the Negro Lawn Jockeys" available and was offered one at a very inflated price. I ended up getting one through Discogs.

If they charge anything higher then $30-40 for some of the single Lps I'm out. There's only a few I want and most of them are on the "jazz confronto" series such as the Enrico Rava and Steve Grossman.

These all pop up on eBay from time to time and the advantage of that is hopefully the sellers can play grade and let you know of any cover problems.

I imagine it's more of a crapshoot ordering dead stock direct from label...vinyl could be noisy or warped..covers could be unglued, etc.

I've been lucky in that all my Horo titles save for Lacy's "eronel" have been fairly quiet pressings.

I just got a reply to my enquiry asking me which titles I'd be interested in but no mention of prices. I've asked them back about price and pointed out potential issue of still sealed warpage - waiting to see what comes back

Bowie's 'African Children' and the Rava are my top two

Unfortunately, I don't buy vinyl anymore. Hopefully CDs will come along eventually.

As usual, I would love to get a digital version of this:

I have the Horo vinyl, but don't have a way to play it anymore.

I've got that Klimt reissue. Sounds OK nothing better but I don't know the Horo to compare. Beware it is 45rpm
