thanks for the link Interestingly another 10" I picked up was the first Martin Denny liberty release "Exotica" - again it contains the 10 titles that were released on the 12" in the US This 10" is listed in BSN - APB 1000 London (UK) series - it has the same catalogue number as its UK counterpart (HB-U1079) - the mono version was on a 10" while the stereo version was on a 12" I'm sure i've read somewhere that the stereo version was rerecorded at a later date hence the 12" stereo release - I don't think this would apply to the Chris Connor LP ie 10" mono & 12" stereo releases but who knows?? http://bsnpubs.com/london/londonamerican/1londonam1000.html

pretty close with Booker Little working my way through Eric Dolphy, Joe Harrriott (need more CD reissues), Hank Mobley

here's the cover & label of the Australian 10"

The solo Herbie Nichols recording is very interesting. would have pounced on that (any Herbie Nichols material) but it's a bit recent & not in the sale list

Leo did the same thing late last year I bought a truckload of CDs from him last time - probably do the same again this year trying out Simon Nabatov with my first order - any advice from fans out there

will stick with all the individual CD's

try grooves-inc (switzerland) I think they have them for 6.99 euros

David Many thanks for that really dig these tidbits of oral history that are shared in this site

I did find Ivan Santiago's site (google search) before I started this thread - sent him an email last week to which he replied on the weekend -> I'm sending him pics of the cover & label Thanks anyway I stand corrected as this must have been released as a 10" in the UK too - the serial # above is almost identical to the Aussie one ie LZ-NA 14036 (only cap A added - probably signifies Australia) this 10" The Lord discography mentions the UK LP (LZ-N 14036) - I mistakenly thought this was a 12" Has anyone ever seen a UK pressing of this 10" & was there a 12" UK version? I'll upload some pics in the next day or so

Had a chance to go through 10,000 LPs last week (mostly MOR music from the 40's, 50's & 60's - 78's, 45's, 10" & 12" LPs) Did find a small number of jazz gems One of the more interesting pieces was an Australian 10" LP (London label) of Chris Connor's 1st Bethlehem 12" release "This Is Chris" - it contains the 10 titles but the cover is slightly different from the US 12". AFAIK there were only 2 Connor Bethlehem 10" LPs (1001 & 1002) I can find no record (in any discographies) of a 10" version of this - the UK 12" release was also on London (almost identical serial # to this Aussie one too) - I don't think this was released in the UK as a 10". I think Australia continued to press 10" LPs for a few years after the US & UK ceased this format. BTW the SQ of this old disc (over 55 years old) is amazing Maybe I should have posted this in the Vinyl/Great finds section?

shocked!! - only in his early 60's though he did have a renal transplant a couple of years ago love his work but never got to see him RIP David S

Dusty Groove currently has the Steven Isoardi text "Dark Tree - Jazz & The Community Arts In LA" (California Uni Press/casebound) at a bargain basement price of $6.99 Also includes a CD packed with unreleased Tapscott related music Great read & worth it just for the disc alone

discs 4 & 5

$20 is better than 199 pounds!! Reel has a special offer at present - buy two CDs & get a third for free (only catch is they choose the freebie ie "lucky dip") - bit of a problem if you already have a few of their releases

Clifford thanks to the link to your interview with Joe - comprehensive Those Roaratorio LPs - they must disappear fast - small pressing numbers (300-400), hand screened covers etc Pity they release so little on CD

rest in peace John

many thanks it appears that members of the JCOA were responsible (Haden, Carla Bley, Richard Davis, Frank Lowe)

I recently received (Birthday present) the Alejandro Jodorowsky DVD box set ("Fando Y Lis", "El Topo", "The Holy Mountain" & "La Constellation Jodorowsky") It also contains 2 soundtrack CDs "El Topo" & "The Holy Mountain" This was a pleasant surprise as I've been looking for "The Holy Mountain" soundtrack due to the Don Cherry connection (part composer) Unfortunately there are no details (dates, musicians) in the set booklet - all we are told are Cherry/Jodorowsky & Ronald Frangipane were the composers Does anyone have that information or could source it - would be much appreciated

Out on CD now! http://www.nimbuswest.com/ just saw that - will be ordering from Dusty Groove (out of stock at present)

The Clinkers LP/CD (Hat Art/Hatology) is a solo concert in Basel (6/77) - the liner notes mention Joe McPhee waiting in the wings during the first half of the concert Maybe they played together during the second half & this could be the likely release.

as an aside The recent Emanem Lacy CD "The Sun" contains the four tracks from the Roarotoria LP Is "The Rest" a reissue or never been released before?

what is a Demon Duck Of Doom? - click on the thumbnail

Does Lester Young play on the 15 minute version of "Stuffy" from the 1957 JATP All-Stars date (Sept or October) I'm currently listening to it - it's the last title (added as a bonus) on the 1993 CD "Coleman Hawkins & Roy Eldridge At The Opera House" The liner notes (research by Phil Schaap) list him as playing while other discographies omit him from this track. He's possibly the last soloist but Stan Getz is also listed as playing. Coleman also solos. Having trouble distinguishing between Getz & Young (???) Also interestng that Schaap has different dates (from other discogs) for the mono & stereo recordings of the CH/RE live at the Opera House.

You certainly won't regret that decision Here's the Mosaic bargains that I've found in Australia (all in very good to mint condition) - amazing what turns up here secondhand All bought in Brisbane & Sydney record shops "The Columbia Jazz Piano Moods Sessions" 7CD $24.99 (bought a couple of months ago) "The Complete BN Recordings of George Lewis" 5 LP $24.95 (bought in 1995) "The Complete Chet Baker/Gerry Mulligan PJ/Capitol" 5LP $45 (bought in 1998) "The Complete Ike Quebec/John Hardee BN" 4LP $45 (bought in 1998) "The Complete Art Pepper Small Group Recordings" 3LP $25
