Got this for € 12 with free shipping - new copy. Had only four of the nine albums in this set.

It was an excellent band. There's a nice moment when Tjader announces Gary Foster after a splendid solo on one of the tracks and calls it "a helluva job".

During the research for the Cal Tjader biography Duncan S. Reid was able to clear the discographical details of these recordings, thanks to Gary Foster, who had kept a notebook with recording and performance dates. The sessions were as follows: Date: August 8, 1980 Location: Concord Jazz Festival, Concord Pavillon, Concord, California Label: Concord Picante Good Vibes Cal Tjader (ldr), Roger Glenn (f, per), Cal Tjader (vib), Mark Levine (p), Robb Fisher (b), Vince Lateano (d, tim), Poncho Sanchez (cga) a.

The Floyd's first LP was my second LP buy ever, and I enjoyed "Interstellar Overdrive" immensely, it probably was my instroduction to free improvisation. Bought a single after that, "It would be so nice", but their song-like tracks never really caught me. Had "Umma Gumma" and played it a lot, but didn't like the course the band took after that. I got from them what I could back then, but don't listen to that type of music anymore.

I even bought a second copy of the LP to frame the cover!

The mono or the stereo version?

The Frankfurt library has a copy - but it will be mid April until I get there to pick them up. If nobody here is any faster ....

... and the other half is from JSngry ...

Did not intend to bore anyone, just did not look at that two pianos thread. One cannot read all there is on here ....

Stunning and beautiful music excellently performed. The level of knowledge about the music of the 16th century has increased considerably in the last twenty years. Any notion that the instruments of that era were not highly developped is put ad absurdum by such recordings. Bought the two at bargain price which the label offers whenever a new release is out: http://www.encelade.net/index.php/en/hikashop-menu-for-products-listing-2/product/25828-mottetti-e-canzoni-virtuose-by-the-guild-of-the-mercenaries

The electric bass is somewhat obtrusive, but the music is good.

Disc 2

Spinning this vinyl right now: I'd love a Mosaic of these albums, although I hate the sound Paul Goodman made - no bottom, drums way down in the mix without a trace of bass drum, piano on one side - extreme right on this album. I think I'll try to find a copy of that Camden set. Here ya go! How's that one titled? Can't find it on discogs.
