Clifford mentioned $49.99 Hopefully that's the case. I frankly see nothing to warrant anything beyond that. At first, I found the language unclear and thought this was a 2xLP + 4xCD thing, but it's just 4 CDs.

Reissue of the year right here. Looks gorgeous, and comes out Thursday! * Nation Time, the original LP, complete as issued and remastered * Black Magic Man, the original LP, complete with two alternate takes of “Song for Lauren” * The Vassar Sessions, 1970, six unreleased tracks from the Nation Time recording sessions * Nation Time Preview, 1969, two concert recordings in the run-up to Nation Time * 60-page liner booklet, full-color, stocked with never-published vintage photos * Definitive Nation Time interview with Joe McPhee by John Corbett http://www.corbettvsdempsey.com/2013/10/19/joe-mcphees-nation-time-box-set/

A significantly less intense investment in more Bill Dixon is the wonderful Tapestries for Small Orchestra on Firehouse 12. More on the Intents & Purposes side of things, rather than the Soul Notes. http://firehouse12records.com/album/tapestries-for-small-orchestra

Wow, someone grab the Gil Melle & Sonny Criss sets now!!

Realized later it's mp3 only. Worth a queue on Spotify at least!

That last group sounds cool. I'd love to hear the one with Maneri, Gress & Black above all.

Also centralizes its focus on the extremely wealthy, and wealth in general. Just motivation for rich, overeager parents to cursorily involve music in the lives of their children in the hopes that it = more money. No attention paid or value placed on the holistic value of music, or the ways in which it can open up your brain in ways that might help you do or understand things better in a more "in and of itself" type of way. Typical NYT/NYC blinders. "

The Sunny Murray-Mark O'Leary album is great.

My situation precisely. But selling the Roost set?! I hope you were in a fugue state!

Yep. (FWIW, though, I HATE the title track)

Ches is low in the mix, but it works for the music. He plays a lot of percussion, very few beats or rhythms. The clarity is great, so hearing his gongs and marimba etc always shifting and roiling under the music creates tremendous texture. Matt Mitchell is the star of the record, IMO. His playing is front and center and drives a lot of the momentum, both rhythmically & melodically. There are times when his left & right hands are playing completely independent lines, the effect of which is dazzling. I wish Oscar Noriega played a bigger role, but all in all I love the record. It's dark, knotty, very noisy stuff.

I once read Cuscuna mention re: OTL that he was amazed how well the musicians played such complex material in one session, but when he heard the tapes he realized it took a lot of fucking up to get there (his words, iirc).

I've never bought Japanese CDs and generally don't rebuy music, but I can't resist the Dolphy alternates.

Out to Lunch alternates?!?

Very sad.

For the most part I agree with you. I do like 'Infidels', 'Time Out of Mind' and the two albums of traditional songs quite a bit. It's my contention that there's at least a little something worth hearing on every Dylan album, even Shot of Love and Real Live. I like Infidels too, and Time out of Mind is one of my favorite Dylans; everything since has been varying degrees of strong.

I'll send you a self-addressed, stamped Nuclear Waste disposal bin

I know it came up once before, but mjazzg's post in the vinyl thread reminded me that Spring of Two Blue J's would be a fine candidate.

K, thanks. It'd definitely just be cheaper for me to get the 10 or so 80s/90s discs I never got around to. I always told myself I would! Never too late!

I'm being lazy: is that every album, studio & live, from the s/t to the present?

Good luck. Secondhanders have a habit of pricing the 6000 edition in the hundreds for some strange reason.

I'd love to get ahold of this one at some point, as a proud native.

I understand re: Lacy. He's one of my favorites, too, but there was no flashpoint.

Herbie also plays way free on Moncur's Some Other Stuff.
