T.D. Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thanks for posting these! Among other things, I can stop kicking myself for sleeping on the recent Japanese CD reissue of Porto Novo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Japanese reissue is decent — while way different sound-wise than the 90's Black Lion CD — but I bet this new hathut reissue has even better remastering. Peter Pfister has done amazing work with recent Ayler reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Great music; wish they'd do something about the cover art. I find it odd that ESP are licensing out titles they recently re-pressed themselves, but whatever. It's also kinda weird that right now we have three new reissues of Porto Novo kicking around: this one, the Japanese CD, and a US vinyl reissue for Record Store Day. It's a great record, one of my favorites, but talk about a diffuse licensing model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 The label is still active, though, run by Steve Holtje. I guess it's a way to raise money for other projects, licensing things out like that, but I don't understand pushing the same product over and over and over. Free jazz was supposed to be immune to that! Hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
