Some books for sale, prices do not include shipping which will be by media mail. PM with any questions. Thanks for looking.

Two volumes from 1981, I am the original and only owner. Volume 1 is in good shape but the binding glue has let go of the last few pages, they are all present. Volume 2 is in somewhat worse shape, the binding is worn at the bottom half inch or so.As with volume 1 some of the pages have separated but are all present. Kind of hate to part with them but, you can have them for $15 for the pair.

Interesting - Ralph Laing used to do a regular column in Jazz Journal (UK) covering specialist label listings so I assume that much of the content is from those columns. Lots of good information about the likes of Chiaroscuro, Master Jazz etc.
