clifford_thornton Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Be careful with La Vie de Boheme - black label first pressings have a "stick" or a "locked groove" in the drum solo on side two. I've had three or four copies and have checked others and it's endemic. Orange label second pressings and Japanese pressings don't have this issue, apparently. The Arthur Jones and Jacques Coursil "Black Suite" were also released concurrently by America Records with much better sound. I get spares of Actuel titles from time to time, so I'll let you know if I get one that you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face of the Bass Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks. Yeah, if you see any, let me know. I'm actually going to be working on an article later this summer on the series, and I'd like to fill out what I have as much as possible and rely on MP3s for whatever I can't find at a sane price.

Unfortunately I can't check on it right now because my stereo has been temporarily disassembled. My copy of Andrew Cyrille's What About? does have the lock groove issue.
