WV have just released a Live AEC recording from 1976 (previously unreleased?) Feb 26, 1976 - Great American Music Hall - over 70mins http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/art-ensemble-of-chicago/concerts/great-american-music-hall-february-26-1976-1st-set.html?utm_source=CVNL&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=130308

Think that was 1972. Great record, nonetheless. My record (LP & sleeve) list 1973, though it is an Australian Island pressing

I remember reading the thread here - it prompted me to search for the book & eventually obtained it from a member of this board Didn't find it heavy going - enjoyed it, especially the later years Detailed discography which gets updated (as required) on Noal Cohen's site

Also noticed that

Ah Roy!! - one of may favourites from the "folk/rock scene" - up there with Richard Thompson Saw Roy live in 1985 here in Brisbane (Uni of Queensland refec) with the legendary Australian punk band "The Saints"

Just placed an order (Tubby Hayes 6CD Tempo set for £10.79 & Storyville King Jazz 5CD set for £14.99) They have quite a few of the "Classics" series for £5.99 - anyone looking for that missing disc - it may be here Maximum of 5 items only for discount

What a great band Captain Matchbox were. A Jug Band. I was too young to buy albums in 1973, but have wonderful memories of Australian Music from that era on the radio and black and white TV. It was an oddball culture in Oz then, that produced a bunch of dags like Cpt. Matchbox. One of my favourite lines that made sense to me as I got older... 'Glen Waverley Imperialism is Here To Stay'. Nice People...Nice Houses. I saw Captain Matchbox live a few times throughout the 70's - one time at the Queens Hotel in Brisbane in 1978 (legendary punk venue) - they were playing with Jimmy & the Boys (aussie punk band) - what a mixture of fans - punks & hippies I also saw them performing on the back of a truck (early 1980 at Samford, just outside of Brisbane) - their final concert before calling it a day Some of my fave lines "Like A Pair Of Undies On The Clothes Line, I'm Hung On You" "cream brick veneer houses spring up all over the place spreading cream brick venereal disease"

Two of my favourite Australian releases from 1973 Mackenzie Theory were a jazz/fusion unit The Captain Matchbox LP ("Smoke Dreams") was released on ESP-Disc in the states in quadraphonic (ESP-3009, Dynaquad) - never seen a copy of this

And a special mention to KC's Larks Tongues In Aspic

I've had my eye on this release for a while now but will be getting the non casebound version (glad I waited) as soon as it's released I'm ordering from the Book Depository (rel March 22) - they have it for Aus$51.34 with free shipping

Last year I bought a Benny Bailey Candid CD (Import CDs) - unfortunately it was a CDr & the slick was a cheap repro (photocopy?) I emailed Candid but never got a reply I've purchased a few more Candids since then & they have been the real deal

Interesting - only have one of these LP's on CD Will they be needle drops/dodgy mastering (or ripped from other previous CD issues) as in many of the Proper releases? Probably no access to the original tapes Still, I'm very tempted with this set

This documentary looks mighty interesting but it appears that the DVD is OOP? (only available as high priced second hand copies)

A copy of this is in my latest "ImportCDs" order - in transit as we speak looking forward to the sounds of JT & The Strange Bros

Might have something to do with the rights? After a few of these "Roling" CD's myself but am reluctant to pay the high prices (whenever they do turn up) - maybe I should search out the LP's (some of the "Roling" covers were Japanese LP issue only AFAIK) I'm fascinated by the cover art - those 16 (are there more?) lithographed covers designed by Marte are my favourite Jazz LP sleeves - wasn't aware that she based her designs on some of our own Brownie's (Guy Kopelowicz) photographs http://jazzlab.iwarp...discography.htm They would make a wonderful reissue/facsimile LP box set I'm also hoping the Japanese will reissue the series again on CD

I bought one from Amazon Germany a few days ago (it was the best option for me between Amazon UK, France & Germany) The Box was 38.15 euros but came down to 32.06E after VAT was removed plus 12.28 Euros shipping to Australia (may be less to the US?) Total of 44.34 euros (approx 57.5 Australian $$'s which would be virtually the same in US $)

this Japanese dealer has carried the Roling PHCE CD's but they've been pricey ($60+) http://www.ebay.com....=&_trksid=p3686

Fresh Sound have recently released the full 2CD version (all 13 titles) http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/alive_at_the_village_gate_1962_2_lps_on_2_cds_+_bonus_tracks-cd-5805.html

too young!! - I didn't expect this was only just listening to the Reel CD "What More Can I Say" I adored that voice - one of my favourites was his french version of "May I" (puis je) The early Soft Machine (Ayers/Wyatt/Allen) were such an important musical influence on me - they also infused so much humour into the music which gradually disappeared as these members left RIP Kevin

as Clifford T mentioned on this thread last November " I think it would do very well. The "Spiritual Jazz shirt-lifters" (to use Stefan Jaworzyn's term) are all over Tapscott records. It would sell a thousand copies quite easily, especially with that beautiful gatefold cover artwork and improved sound. Not to mention it's an unequivocally great album" I'm quite confident TGIA would shift 1000 units - it just needs to be advertised/marketed in the right places (Tom Albach may even carry it/sell it from his website - nimbuswest) or http://bjazz.blogspot.com.au/2007/11/maj-disco-tapscott.html I'm up for any of your releases - have them all so far

I'm interested to know what/how many titles are on the Pettiford (13), Thomas (14) & Monk (16) discs - these will be mighty short if it's just the 10" tracks Does the Wilen (20) disc contain 15 titles as in the Vogue black digipak release (ie alternate takes) - BTW AFAIK this was never released as a 10" LP If the Wilen disc does contain all 15, it would be worth buying the box just for this disc - going for decent sums now

Discs 1 & 2 Kaoru Abe

That's what I thought too

Jonathan sorry to throw a spanner in the works but what about the Tapscott FD - any progress there or is that on hold at present?

arrived today via registered post - listening to it now standout killer track so far (finished 3 discs) is 52 minutes of a quartet with Brotzmann/Gania/Laswell/Drake - did anyone see this performance? The guimbri sounds like a didgeridoo at times (or is it another instrument) How does PB maintain this level of intensity at 70 yo ??
