ingebrixen Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I am searching for 3 vinyl EPs from 1960 by the german modern jazz group freiburg, released in small amounts on the small christophorus label (vol. 1 - 3). they might be impossible to find ... anyone, who can help or who has these tracks on cd?

Big Beat Steve Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Well, check eBay or German fleamarkets. I own one of those three EPs and in fact found it at a local fleamarket (though sometime in the 90s). As a matter of fact I've seen another copy of this EP I own on eBay several years ago but the winning bid price was kind of silly... You're not the only one who's on the lookout for items like that (I've been aware of these ever since I got hold of a 1960 issue of the "Bielefelder Jazz Katalog" (no doubt you know what THAT is) in my early collecting days in the 70s). But of course with "Eurojazz" it's a chancy thing, and maybe we're both doing ourselves a disservice by discussing those items in public here because as you might know there has been a FATAL tendency for certain Asian speculators (I cannot use the term "collector", seeing how they ruin the market - sorry) to snap up ANYTHING that reeks of European jazz from the 50s/60s. And that automatically makes those items (which are part of OUR OWN jazz heritage) quite unaffordable for anybody outside those Asian places. I've never heard of any reissues either - sorry. But it might be high time ... Edited January 23, 2009 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't you think the Asians have already (re)discovered everything in Jazz ? And most of the times BEFORE us ? I will not be surprised if the EP's you are (trying not to) talking about already sell for out$$$$$$$$$tanding prices in Osaka or Tokyo record shops....

Big Beat Steve Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Don't worry, Michel, I am not talking about auction characters like "ondemand12" etc. They've been around the block, that's for sure. :D But every additional far-east newcomer hipped to certain items slims the perspectives down for us over here.

michel1969 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 But the best among the bests is "Rainbow Mountain". The Attila of Ebay's jazz records !! and look at this one : low feedback, big money (and what for the brain ?)Jutta Hipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ah, bullshite2000... You know, some of those rare LPs by Bent Axen, Franco Cerri, etc. are being reissued so it's not outside the realm of possibility that these too might see the light of day again... perhaps on a compilation or something.

That Cerri European Jazz-Stars one seems to have slipped through the net and wasn't listed in the JPN re-issues thread. CD is due out in late May. After checking out a few clips at this site, I'm sold. http://www.ticro.com/search/F10001412/no_sub/detail/ http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3542052 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah, it's not bad at all. I'd pick it up if I were you... the LP was gone almost immediately and I got lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
