romualdo

is that counting vol. 1 (that wasn't part of the subscription)

That would be round 13LPs worth plus some unreleased material (likely lost) picked up a pile of her individual Japanese Atlantic/Warner CDs round 10 years ago Similarly I collected all of Anita O'Day's verve CDs only to sell them after fortuitously finding a second hand copy of her Mosaic box.

What you are describing would be perfect for a "glue" job (bookbinders glue as I described earlier) along the spine (internally) Another option would be to have it restapled in different locations along the spine

Just saw this thread & maybe it's a bit late but may I offer some advice I undertook a bookbinders course/workshop (over a period of months) in the late 70s with the State Library of Queensland. Since then I've been repairing books & LP covers - I primarily use bookbinding glue (you can obtain it from any bookbinder - I buy a jar of the glue from a local binder which lasts for years). Looking at the images, the booklet would repair well with the glue - it sets soft & is pliable plus it dries clear so it's not visible). I've repaired a number of this style of booklet. I avoid tape as over the years it yellows & dries/cracks. Here's a list/breakdown of the 15 JWC series LPs plus an EP box of the first LP - over time I actually recreated/constructed these 15 LPs as CDr's with the help of Dan Stewart (another organissimo member) sourcing vinyl/CDs AFAIK only JWC Vols 1-5 have made it to CD - Japanese 5CD box set back in the 90s? https://www.jazzdisco.org/pacific-jazz-records/catalog-jazz-west-coast-series/album-index/

it's not CvsD?

while we're on the subject of Joanne, did she & her partner/husband Charles Brackeen ever record together? It's a zero according to the Lord discography.

any love for Henry Cow out there? Recently scored the big Cow Box Redux set (18CDs & a DVD plus three packed booklets) I've enjoyed all of their studio albums (LPs) since the 70s but Chris Cutler has done a magnificent job of piecing this together with the help of other cows - it's basically a distillation of the three box sets that were released over last couple of decades plus newly added material. Another of the wonderful early 70s UK/euro experimental (& heavily political) bands where jazz met rock met folk met avant, existing from 71 to 78. Chris Cutler's ReR Megacorp site carries a large range of esoteric/experimental music (not just Henry Cow/Chris Cutler/Fred Frith etc) https://www.rermegacorp.com/

Damo Suzuki, vocalist from the seminal 70's group Can has passed https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/feb/11/damo-suzuki-cans-free-floating-vocalist-gave-us-some-of-the-1970s-most-exotic-rock-music I was a massive fan of the band throughout the 70s & still am RIP Damo

I'm amazed that Tony Oxley's wonderful RCA release "Ichnos" has never made it to CD (is this listed in Labyrinth?) what a lineup: Wheeler, Rutherford, Parker, Bailey, Guy & Oxley - doesn't get much better than that

what a shock - I had communicated with him only recently Loved his Jazz Archaeology productions will miss you Jan, RIP

Melanie had a resurgence here in Australia in the late 90s, especially amongst the hip hop crowd - the Australian band Hilltop Hoods did a cover version of "People In The Front Row" aka The Nosebleed Section - have added both versions

yes, I'm attempting to do that - just have to track down a copy or burn of the EP set - feelers are out at present

while we're on the topic of Herbie - his voice has been used as a sign off (for the past 22 years) for one of our revered Australian political weekly programs called "The Insiders" on ABC TV https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1558355497633362

according to Lord they're the same track (Black Narcissus = Out 'n In) Henderson's Habiliment : Joe Henderson Quartet : Joe Henderson (ts) Hideo Ichikawa (el-p) Kunimitsu Inaba (b) Motohiko Hino (d) Live "Junk Club", Tokyo, Japan, August 4, 1971 'Round midnight (1) World (Jap)SMJX-10123, Milestone MSP9047 Black narcissus [Out'n in] - - Blue bossa (1) - - Junk blues (1) - - Note: "Black Narcissus" as "Out 'n in" (a retitling of "In 'n out") on Milestone, OJC releases. Milestone MSP9047 titled "Joe Henderson in Japan"; titles (1) are all edited on this release. This followed a pattern that the U.S. version aimed at keeping closer towards the usual 40 to 45 minutes per disk format of U.S. LPs, while the Japanese Victor release runs over 51 minutes long. All above titles also on OJC CD1040-2 [CD], Milestone 8MCD-4413-2 [CD].

IUCC UPDATE: vol 8 and vol 11 shipping January 31 The next 3 IUCC series releases will ship FEB 21st and the final 3 will ship in March to conclude the series. thank you to all subscribers of the series - we appreciate your patience during the delays. the IUCC series is a monumental set of unheard recordings and it turned out to be a much bigger project than we anticipated and has taken longer to release than we initially planned for. We can't wait to share the remainder of the series in the coming weeks. Check back here for bi-weekly updates https://www.nimbuswestrecords.com/

agreed - IIRC I saw the album listed on Spotify(with the 6/8 added) & the timings were similar to the original LP so I surmised the 6/8 was not actually present

Here's the listing from Lord (online) - 6/8 is listed as a separate take (probably sourced from the Verve Discography) but unfortunately Lord places this in the original Norgran LP 1003 (which is incorrect) & doesn't mention the 3EP set.

It's actually Reel Music (Good Time Distribution), Nashville, TN https://www.discogs.com/label/1859947-Reel-2?sort=year&sort_order=desc read the comments at bottom - I'm still dubious Interesting range of releases including a reissue (RSD release) of a somewhat rare/collactable Australian Album "Fraternity" from 1971 that included Bon Scott (AC/DC) & Jimmy Barnes (Cold Chisel)

Currently reading Saxophone Trailblazer (Gary Carner - State Uni of NY 2023) & am enjoying immensely (of course I'm a Pepper Adams afficonado) Like the recent Threadgill tome this Carner book is not chronological (do like that format) He had a close relationship with the Ellington Orchestra - Harry Carney accompanied him when he purchased his first Selmer sax Rex Stewart was a major mentor & father figure & he was also very close to Thad Jones. The Joy Road project should accompany this book - both cover his many compositions https://motema.com/releases/joy-road-the-complete-works-of-pepper-adams-volumes-1-5-2/
