Elemental will be releasing a 5LP set called "Revelations: The Complete ORTF 1970 Fondation Maeght Recordings"

Only 600 copies - ridiculously low for someone like Albert - annoys the crap out of me, just causes intense competition & flipping

Hopefully Elemental will release it digitally (3 or 4 CDs) - I have two CDs worth already, the ESP-Disk CD "Live On The Riviera" & the Water CD "Nuits De La Fondation Maeght 1970" (compilation of the two original Shandar LPs)

I actually do want this but I have no doubt I will not get the LP version (because it'll be sold out to grip & flippers). Stupidly low pressing run.

I see there are only 500 to 750 copies for many of these forthcoming RSD sets, including the two new Bill Evans Argentinian sets. Ridiculous !

My understanding is that the entire point of RSD is that you turn up on the day hence all the queues. This is premised on a 'no advance reservations' policy which is widely advertised. Whether individual outlets choose to adhere to this policy is a different matter. I suspect your shop owner isn't advertising his preparedness to reserve very loudly as I suspect he'd be cut out of future RSDs.

So in essence, not kosher by the stipulated rules of RSD as I understand them but kosher by any kind of 'keep the punters happy' rules introduced locally. If he's a kosher kind of guy
