Air re-issues

[Head Man]

I've just seen that Downtown Music Gallery DMG has three of the early Air recordings available as 'self-released CD-Rs'. The three are:

'80 degrees below '82' which came out on the Antilles label in 1982

'Air Raid' which I have on a 'Whynot' Lp from 1976

'Air Song' which I have on an 'India Navigation' LP from 1982

Now this is serious music, so if you don't have vinyl copies already, get an order in quickly!

I have Air Raid on "legit" Japanese CD. Air Song has been released on CD by the same label. Who's doing this "self-releasing" - Threadgill or DMG?

Agreed, great music. Carpe diem!

The CDs are marked as being re-released by Henry Threadgill, so I think we can assume they are legit.

BTW what label were 'Air Raid' & 'Air Song' released on?

[JSngry]

Glad to hear that they're legit!

The LPs were on Japanese Why Not/Trio (maybe Chuck can sort out the specifics as to which was what?). India Navigation leased Air Song for American release, and that's where I have it. Both were released on CD on Japanese P.J.L.The Antilles session was totally theirs, I believe. All are excellent, to put it mildly.

there's a tune on 80 Degrees Below '82 that is worth the trip alone.

I forget the name but I am pretty sure Threadgill plays tenor on it.

It's a blues.

I have lots of Air vinyl.

- Air Time

- Open Air Suit

- Montreux Suisse

- Air Lore

- 80° Below '82

Haven't listened in a while. Maybe it's time to pull those guys out and give them a spin.

there is also a live threadgill disc. i was at DMG yesterday.

the threadgills look just like the uh, not as legit LP burn discs that they sell but i guess they are legit.

wasn't sure which one to check out.

isn't whynot or whatever it is called still around and putting stuff out. there are a few discs on that label i would like to check out.

so this thread isn't really helping narrow it down to which air disc would be the best to check out. i guess they are all good.

Not one, THE best title (IMO)

Air Raid too was out on India Navigation. I have that.

Although I have the vinyl, this has to be good news.
