  1. Mine too, but finally located a copy.

    Just found this on eBay. Listened on Youtube and was greatly impressed, so I ordered.

    Led Zeppelin - "House Of The Holy". I have the infamous RL cut too! :)

    I laugh when people pay big bucks for these Robert Ludwig LPs as if they are rare. Yeah, if rare means a few hundred thousand copies.

    I imagine that these days, It's not OK to post that cover image anymore.

    That cover art is weirdly similar to what the Japanese Venus label routinely prints for jazz releases these days. 🧐

    The Chet Baker/Jack Sheldon seems like an odd choice. I guess Chet sells...? I noticed other records with these guys included a big band with Land, Pepper, etc. which seemed way more intriguing. 

    AFAICT, Chet is extremely popular with the vinyl crowd that buys premium releases. I visit another forum with a lot of vinyl fans who post their listening, and Chet is in heavy rotation there.

    Oh Yes!!!

    I don't know why (although I did have them down as an electric Miles tribute act) but I have completely ignored Nucleus until recently when I bought 'Labyrinth' mostly because Norma Winstone's on it. Now investigating them chronologically, this is very good isn't it?  Sounds not unlike the Graham Collier albums of this time that I love so much.

     

    I took a complete flyer on the 6-CD Nucleus Torrid Zone box set on Esoteric (with the same cover) two or three years ago and loved it, one of my best purchases of that year (guessing 2021). Still listen often. IIRC I was considering the BBC set and went for the Esoteric instead because it was a lot smaller investment and looked like a fine selection.

    People (e.g. Lon, felser) have praised the BBC set, and I'm sure it's very good, but at 14 CDs and a considerably higher outlay, I doubt I'll ever spring for it. Sort of a "one or the other but not both" thing. I do enjoy the big Barbara Thompson BBC box, though the spoken intros have begun to grate after a few listens.

     

  5. My adblocker suppresses almost all of the popups.

    I often visit allmusic for reviews and to research credits. Sometimes to sleuth BFT tunes. 😉

    Seems like the site got redesigned a couple of (few?) months ago. For a while it was wonky and I stayed away. Seems to work OK now.

    Thanks - too bad though!

    Obviously Childs might still be playing - what I meant to express: some bits are not exactly with the line-up provided for the entire set.

    It's just vague. The statement on the cover "featuring Childs, Dumas, Pentland" IMO doesn't guarantee they are on the final tracks 10-12, though they certainly may be. I am sure, based on liner notes and other info, that they are the band for tracks 1-9. Since no exact date is even given for the final 2 tracks (Two Dollar Bills "1980"), I suspect that details of tracks 9-11 have faded into oblivion.

    Waiting for my (CD) copy to crawl here ... I wonder, does the physical set have line-ups for the final tracks that are not w/Childs (there's a sax at some place, too)?

    Not that I can see. No formal personnel listing at all. The cover says "...featuring Childs, Dumas, Penland", and that lineup is duplicated on a photo of a poster of the Maiden Voyage date, but no mention of players on the other 2 sessions (1 track Sound Room Dec 78, 2 tracks Two Dollar Bill's 1980).

    Incredible - new to me too. Presumably Reggie Johnson on bass and Joe Chambers on drums but who is the pianist? Is that Hal Galper? Venue - Jazzhus Montmatre? (Carlsberg beer on tables).

    I can't be certain, but the pianist does look like Hal Galper.

    Evan Parker and Barry Guy – Incision

    This morning marks the day that my kids finally snapped. My 3 year old daughter told me that “this music is just talking gobbledegook”. 

    The age-old problem...Free jazz, improv, avant-garde classical, etc. generally can't be listened to in the presence of others. 😶

    Sound quality is pretty abysmal, especially the miking on Ranelin himself.  Reluctant pass for me unless I stumble onto a bargain copy.

    I was really disappointed on first listen. Agree that Phil comes across the worst on miking, which is unfortunate.

    Liked it a lot more on a second, more careful listen. But it's never going to get played (here) as often as the Tribe-oriented releases.
