Nimbus West has just added a second Tapscott/PAPA download (only) https://www.nimbuswestrecords.com/shop-5/p/pan-afrikan-peoples-arkestra-the-lost-reel Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra - Live at Century City Playhouse “THE LOST REEL” Recorded September 9th, 1979. Century City Playhouse “The Lost Reel ” was discovered while going thru reels for the IUCC series, two tracks spliced onto a single reel and left unlabelled.. If you’ve heard the 3LP set that documents the “full concert” then you know that this was a special evening, one of the most powerful and well-recorded live shows in the entire history of the Arkestra! “Crepuscule with Nellie” and “Nation Rising” are equal to anything on the 3LP set, from delicate to raging these 21 minutes act as a sort of seventh side to the legendary 3LP set. Essential! PAN AFRIKAN PEOPLES ARKESTRA “THE LOST REEL” 1.) Crepuscule with Nellie (5:16) 2.) Nation Rising (16:39) recorded by Bruce Bidlack produced by Tom Albach

I have received downloads from a few LP only labels where download wasn't an option but they were happy to send me the digital files but admittedly I had originally purchased the LP versions - I contacted the label directly & they were obliging

I picked it up primarily for the 4 discs from the Australian leg of the tour - the box was relatively cheap here considering it was a 36CD set

most are longer whilst a couple are shorter, "Verse" significantly West 22nd St: mst 04:46, alt 05:48 Aquarian Moon: mst 07:44, alt 10:50 Bouquet: mst 08:10, alt 08:16 Rojo: mst 06:04, alt 06:47 Una Muy Bonita: mst 06:29, alt 06:18 Black Circle: mst 06:57, alt 07:43 Verse: mst 09:30, alt 05:57

cheers

Interesting thread - thanks for the info, especially TKK My valve amp doesn't have a mono button so I'll try the Y cable option out of interest Just a question regarding use of the Y cable (RCA splitter cable) - It doesn't matter which socket (back of amplifier) you plug the cable into ie left or right & will only one speaker function?

my order is listed as "Completed" (on the website) as of June 27 but have received no shipping details or confirmation of shipping spoke too soon - received shipping notice & Fedex # this morning - projected to be here by July 3

Interestingly that was the cut off I suggested IIRC (Kicker to Spiral/Medina) to Michael years ago when he was mulling over a Hutch set but then opted against it.

My TOCJ mini LP style CD (94444) of SOS has a previously unreleased track "Blues" (4:36), apparantly from the same session

I usually request removal of jewel cases so the disc(s) is/are usualy shipped in the "letter/small package"category & remarkably cheap to Australia

some nice stuff in there - Mobes & Melle BN, Freeman PJ, Alex North Streetcar... Cap, Shank Nocturne, Leith Stevens Wild One Decca, Stitt Savoy, Strayhorn Mercer, Thornhill Trend, Weston Riverside, Webster EmArcy, Mary Lou Williams Atlantic have a smattering of jazz 10" LPs, primarily australian pressings (not that common here), some with unique covers plus others that were only on 10" here (12" in other countries with no 10" release) Have always liked this format aesthetically - the early years of more creative album cover art plus the 10" lasted for only a short time (longer here in Australia though)

Steve Lacy signed my box - value added? I listened to those Prez/Goodman tracks when I visited the Jazz Museum in Harlem back in 2017

There are 11 sets in the series (mostly doubles with some singles) with 8 having been released so far & three more left to be issued/released (unsure of titles/dates as not listed yet AFAIK)

RIP Francoise Had just finished the recent Morton Jack Nick Drake biography where she is mentioned a few times (meeting ND, attending recording sessions, ND possibly writing for her etc)

I did end up picking up the Henderson set & agreed it's SQ is spectacular

This has been available as a download (with extra material via Anderson/Chusid) since 2014, listed as such in Art Yard's "Omniverse" (2015, p188, #88) The extra ten & a half minute track (Door Squeak) that was a bonus on the Atavistic release (2007) is not included. The version of Strange Strange on the Atavistic release runs at 20:24 whilst the version on the upcoming CD (via Bandcamp site) is only 8:33

yep, definitely three sets left to go

I've been pushing the idea of a Harriott Mosaic box for years but in the words of that great aussie movie "The Castle" - "Tell 'im 'e's dreamin"

Got the latest Dutton/Vocalion email - unbelievably disappointing - looks like they've lost interest in jazz - all of those wonderful Harriott & Garrick releases are gone bar one or two - nothing new of interest for me. I picked up so much stellar British Jazz from them over the last 16 years (Harriott, D'Silva, Keane, Garrick, McNair, Kirchin, Kinsey, Skidmore, Westbrook, Gibbs, Durham, Beckett, Roza, Chisholm, Will Power, Russell, Graham, Melody Maker All Stars, Laurie Johnson, KPM Library, Jazz In Britain '68-69 & even Thad Jones) - most of this material is missing/OOP. A pity indeed.

Downloaded the files & created the three CDrs yesterday - tremendous music; the first two discs are live recordings at Hatfield Forum (Hertfordshire Uni, no audience) from a single date (79) - the Spotlite LP "Fingers Remember Mingus" was created (edited tracks) from this session - here are the non edited versions plus alternate takes, rehearsals & dialogue. The third disc is live (with audience) & BBC broadcast recordings. The interplay between Coxhill & Turner is astounding, seeing Turner was considered "old school".

It's two live trio releases 1. Trilogue - live Berlin Nov 76 with Pastorius & Mouzon 2. Live In Montreux - July 80 with JF Jenny-Clark & Ronald Shannon Jackson

It's a 2 CD set

it was released round 2008 in those multi set MPS compilations (two 5CD box sets plus live & solo twofers)- I can't believe it's 15 years since I bought these - are they still available BTW? https://www.discogs.com/release/4267753-Albert-Mangelsdorff-Originals-Vol-1

Fletcher Henderson has been covered in the Hawkins & Hampton Mosaics but I would still like to see a dedicated FH set
