I've had nothing but good experiences with them (6 orders since late 2012) They always reply to emails Will order items (that are not listed) on request Promptly replaced a damaged (cracked) CD plus even replaced a damaged CD that I hadn't purchased from them (no response from the original vendor)

Umar Ali !! I've had my copy for over a week now (ex Jazz Messengers) - SQ is much better (official tapes) than the incomplete spanish version (taken from the radio broadcast) If it's Rashied and Muhammad's brother, it's Omar. Unfortunately the booklet has the misspelling (multiple times) i.e. Umar

got a batch of the UCCQ's (75th anniversary) last week - just trying to fill the gaps but I also had to try out the Greens (Oleo, Matador & Gooden's Corner) & Mobleys (Poppin' & Curtain Call) They do sound much better than the 90's pressings Listening right now to the extra unreleased material on the Patton "Blue John" disc - surprised it wasn't released back in the 90's

Just received the email from Pop Market It's Black Lion material remastered by Bernie Grundman They've chosen 3 artists - Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis & Johnny Griffin - each has a 3LP set (one 33rpm & 2x45 rpm LPs) - technically not MD but actually Ann Hathaway & Earl Coleman sessions It looks like the 2 45rpm LPs contain the same material as the 33 rpm LP - appears to aimed at audiophiles OTT IMHO!!!

I see they have the box for 185 euros - not too bad I got my copy from Amazon UK (last year) when they spot dropped the price (got it for £154) but now its back over £250 (appears to be the long term standard price for Amazon UK) It may be worth keeping an eye on the UK site if you are keen - they may do it again

From my experience when an item is not in stock, it disappears from the database then reappears once they reobtain it So, if its listed there is a highly likely chance that its in stock

Umar Ali !! I've had my copy for over a week now (ex Jazz Messengers) - SQ is much better (official tapes) than the incomplete spanish version (taken from the radio broadcast)

i was lucky enough to meet & converse with him when he played here in Brisbane in the late 90's He had that special "aura" about him Really miss him - can't believe it's 10 years since his passing

wow!! - never heard of this one - not listed on Michael's website or the Lord Discography looks like the sort of thing Johnny Trunk would rerelease on his label would have been even nicer if Joe Harriott was present

looks promising & "official" but appears to be vinyl only??

Gerald (Duke's nephew) has just posted this on his Facebook page I asked him how he was progressing with his "lost tapes" "Still researching them.Some are outakes and spoken words in the studio.Might have stumbled upon a treasuretrove of some mighty hip grooves.Anyone out there with,a 8 mm reel to reel !"

Great - I'll be picking that up

what a shock - didn't realise he had been unwell RIP Charlie well put ep1str0phy

Buck Clayton Jam Sessions - Wow!! this is sooo good Many thanks for the sale Hank

Still waiting. Seems a natural fit... It would get my vote. Same here but I'm still hanging out for the Giuffre and/or Konitz Verve sets that were mentioned by Michael years ago

I'm surprised this material wasn't picked up by the "Lounge Core" scene of the 80's/90's (Martin Denny, Melachrino, Esquivel etc etc) Maybe they just weren't available at the time (as CD reissues)

Currently listening to the two recent Frank Minion Bethlehem (Japanese Solid) reissues - mighty impressive - really digging him what a vocalese discovery for me Any other takers out there? Also going through a Bethlehem vocal binge - more obscure favourites are Terry Morel, Audrey Morris, Sallie Blair, Marilyn Moore (recorded very little material)

but we know which is the best version!!

According to the Albert Ayler site, the alternate Spirits is not part of it. http://www.ayler.co.uk/html/what_s_new.html: "Speaking of which, ESP do have one 'unreleased' track, courtesy of Martin Davidson. It's the alternate 'Spirits' which did appear on some early editions of Spiritual Unity. There's more information about it on the Spiritual Unity page, but apparently ESP didn't have a copy of the fifth track until recently, when Martin Davidson (of the Emanem label) sent them one, and ESP told him that their next issue of Spiritual Unity will contain all five tracks from the session...." Also read this new info yesterday on the Ayler site It appears that some of the interview material is from the Holy Ghost box set (now owned by esp-disk)

Gerald many thanks for your post - I've joined your DP Facebook group Those tapes sound like an Aladdin's cave - could we have unreleased Blue Note material within the reels? That recent disc of Duke's Big Band is definitely worth a listen

ESP-Disk have just released (late this month) a 68 track download only set "The Albert Ayler Story" (equivalent to 4CDs) It appears to be all previously released material music wise (wonder if it contains the alternate version of "Spirits" (Vibrations) from the first ESP LP) plus loads of interview material (including Ayler) It's currently on special for $15.99 (Pre-Release Sale) from the ESP site - worth getting just for the interview material - has any of this been previously released on prior ESP issues (new series from mid 2000's)? Wonder if this will get a CD release? http://espdisk.com/official/catalog/4072.html

sorry, but what's a fold down? (creation of mono track from stereo recording??)

Dan the 4 Murray discs (DIW) arrived today - lovely condition & safe packaging thanks again

RIP Bobby "But It's All Over Now" I still prefer his original version to the Rolling Stones My son recently saw him on tour with the Gorillaz - I really regretted not going to that concert (didn't realise he was on the bill)
