If I remember right, the regular record shops didn´t have it, they only had Agharta, as you said. There were some hard core jazz buffs at that time. i was just a young kid and tried to get as much infos as I could and when some older, weird looking "electric Miles nerds" were tellin me things like "Aghartha....yeah you on the right trip, kid, BUT HAVE YOU LISTENED TO PANGAEA (or Dark Magus) that was a completley unknown land for me. Then I discovered we had a very small and fancy jazz records shop "Red Octopus" and they had all those Japan Imports at high prices. I had to work hard to be good at school to get more pocket money from my dad so I could purchase those two Japan imports. By the way, my "In Concert" 1972 is also a japan import from that time. Needless to say I got some "upgrade" among school buddys , we made parties were they came by to my place to listen together to Pangeaa, it was such a beautiful time....

JSngry Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 IIRC, Pangea was released in Japan more or less contemporaneously (i.e, within a year's span) with Agharta. Dark Magus didn't come out in Japan until after the hiatus (not yet "retirement") hwas underway. Definitely not released close to the time it was recorded. Liebman was still on the band. Yeah, here's the dates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Magus  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 One interesting thing about Agharta is that they play a different program than the usual set list. On Pangaea it starts with that fast funk riff in Eb like on the 1974 Dark Magus and all the 1973 performances that I have heard from some sources (Vienna, Berlin, Montreux). On Aghartha they start with a medium funk in Bb and they also feature the bossa "Maisha" which is from the studio take from "Get Up with it". And one unexpected thing on Agharta is the straight ahead walking section on side C, I think...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I remember listening on my tiny transistor radio and earpiece to a French station in Normandy playing one full side of ‘Agharta’ in fade in, fade out, back in the day. It was Summer so the tropospheric scatter across the Channel was working. I think the side they played was ‘Theme From Jack Johnson’. The only thing that made me aware of ‘Pangaea’ and ‘Magus’ back in the day, probably 1977, was a late-lamented Melody Maker article by either Richard Williams or Chris Welch saying how brilliant they were. Very frustrating ! At the time, the only store over here that might have stocked these would have been Collets. Mole wasn’t yet open.

mjazzg Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 John Stevens Folkus - Life Of Riley [Affinity] Think this definitely qualifies as an overlooked gem of a record. Basil Kirchin - Everyday Madness [Trunk Records] a title for our times. Two tape pieces and a very nice Jazz suite. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
