Are the liner notes to your edition in English or Japanese? Someone on Discogs with your edition claims the liner notes say the Victor CDs were made from Max Roach personal master tapes. (link) I have the previous Victor Japan CD edition from 1986, VDJ-1568. Liner notes are in Japanese, but it does say in English 'Licensed by Max Roach', twice. Clearly the 1986 CD is not sourced from vinyl. Much nicer sound than the EU/US Candid CDs.

It's only Pakistani Pomade that is signed. I hope you'll find your copy of Swinging the Bim. Highest price ever on Discogs is a ridiculous €135, last copy sold 21 March 2018. Sometimes you just have to wait for the right seller to put up his wares. Best, Martin

I am thinking of officially changing my first name.

Idiocracy. Oh, shit! That was the eight o'clock news!

Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio Pakistani Pomade (FMP, Atavistic) A couple of years ago I just could not find an affordable (like) new copy of the Atavistic CD. This month I bought an as new copy signed by both Alexander von Schlippenbach and Evan Parker from an Austrian record store on Discogs. Very reasonably priced at €30 imo. The store owner told me he recently bought a large collection of free jazz, perhaps from an estate, I don't know. The autographs are personalised für/to Martin. Bought a bunch of good stuff from that seller past month.

I downloaded a FLAC rip through bittorrent of the EU/US Candid CD to compare to my Japanese CD from 1986 and indeed all sorts of vinyl rip pops and clicks are audible, e.g. on Driva' Man. Apparently the Japanese Victor CD was made from Max Roach's personal master tapes.
