romualdo

Just ordered my copy from Danas (plus the William Parker box, new Evan Parker Trio & the Group "Live")

bought my copy (1152/5000) in November 2002

OK, support for my complaint today about the board's search function. Let's face it, guys, it sux. IPB, are you listening? Yep, I agree I normally search via Google (or other search engine) & insert organissimo with the criteria

That's sad - RIP Barbara Have just finished reading "Always In Trouble" Oral Hx of ESP-Disk by Jason Weiss She wasn't interviewed for the book but is mentioned a few times by Sonny Simmons & James Zitro (who I noticed has just become an organissimo member in the last week or so)

EMI utilised "Cactus Data Shield" copy protection (CDS) - 1st commercially produced CDs were released in late 2001 They eventually abandoned this technology in Dec 06 I've only got one of these CDs in my collection (actually a double - The Cookers) kept it for historical interest & was dirt cheap anyway

Jazz Messengers (Barcelona) are now stocking the Dutch Jazz Archive Series (at good prices too) singles are 14.87 euros & doubles (new Miles Davis) are 20.65 euros Also if you order more than 60 euros of product, shipping is free (overseas orders)

thanks for that - most useful

Chuck, have you ever considered rereleasing AEC's "Les Stances A Sophie" (Nessa 04) (which you licenced from Pathe/EMI France). All of the CD reissues so far have been needle drops - I'm sure you have mentioned in the past that you are in possession of tapes (does that include People In Sorrow - I have a late 80's Japanese CD of this) Too many legal hassles to be worthwhile??

That's really screwed me in Australia I relied on Amazon (US) for picking up many OOP Jazz CDs but not anymore (refuse to pay $14 for a single CD to be shipped here) Looks like I'll focus on Amazon UK, Germany & France

Been listening to the new Acrobat 6CD "Complete Tempo 55-59" - very happy with the SQ - wonder where they sourced this from (Jasmine CDs, 1st Proper box)? This is "Hard Bop" of the highest standard - hadn't heard any of this material before - what a revelation!! Simon Spillett's notes are a real bonus - best of luck with his upcoming book Of interest is the fate of the Tempo master tapes - according to Simon they were "disposed of" in the early 60's when Decca junked the Tempo imprint Some of the material had been licenced to Ember (live Dominion 58) who retained the masters In the 80's the Tempo catalogue was reissued by Jasmine who dubbed original vinyl (similarly for the later CD reissues) Not sure how legitimate this set is - there is no mention of remastering details etc - Does Acrobat do their own "ripping"/remastering - like Avid? this is all we have "This compilation ® & © 2012 Acrobat Licensing" (that circled R should be a P) Still, its great to have all of this material together in one lot (luckily I hadn't previously purchased any of this material on individual CDs)

have been slowly obtaining the series since Candid started the reissue program think I have about 14 of them favourites are the Abrams & Dickersons

Here's what's available through import-cds (16 titles) http://www.importcds.com/Search/Results?type=200&lbl=snow+dog some on this list appear to be more contemporary I've just ordered/received Bishop's "Coral Keys", Carn's "Spirit Of The New Land" & waiting on Franklin's "The Skipper" though havn't had a chance to listen to any of them yet

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)
