Thank you for all your effort. I do enjoy my BGO CD alongside my mono LP. Current Discogs pricing madness has the mono outstripping the stereo LP (which I am now increasingly interested in owning...). Such a great album.

Just checked the Resteamed website and the new version with Kenny Wheeler certainly piques my interest. https://www.resteamed-records.com/product/stan-tracey-in-hamburg/ No mention on the 'Under Milk Wood' page of re mastering or even stereo. They're using the old Steam Records cover design too by looks of things. https://www.resteamed-records.com/product/under-milk-wood-2/

According to Richard Williams, a usually very reliable source, we have a remastered edition of Stan Tracey's 'Under Milk Wood' on the way from Clark at Resteamed. It will be great to get this more widely known beyond those of us mad enough to pay the current prices for the original. https://thebluemoment.com/2023/05/08/starless-and-bible-black/

A few years ago she played that live in London with a large band, lovely concert. It's my favourite too

I didn't know about this release, thank you. Her initial run of four or so albums are way up there for me. Since then I've enjoyed the occasional release. A reminder to read her recent autobiography

One for the vinyl only fetishists again...

Wow! Someone new to discover, thanks PIm

And don't like to understand why others still do...

So am I, my favourite late Mingus I prefer Moves to the Changes albums which I've never taken to despite many attempts to. This thread has made me listen to Cumbia and I like that a lot too

I really enjoyed this, sat unreleased for 10 years

Thank you. I look forward to more discussion in the new thread

Would that be a good starter set TTK? I only really know Morricone from Grupo di Improvviazione and all the greatest hit film scores we all can't help but know

Mine hasn't arrived yet and I live about 2 miles from Mr.Confront. I will have to have words Mark at Confront knows his onions, I wouldn't expect him top put out anything subpar. It's obviously beeen done in very close co-operation with AS also

That is a great story. Did he stop at any point?

Fabulous, top five for me. Took a few copies to get a clean one but we'll worth it. I hear good things about the reissue, it's a needle drop but not at all noticeably a friend assures me

Von Freeman - No Fear [Nessa, 1975] Only just got round to getting this one Yeah, I like it a lot too

That was my first listen and I wasn't knocked out by it, all seemed a bit reserved. The carnatic track was the one that stood out for me. If you're ambivalent i wouldn't imagine it would change your mind greatly but it was cheap!

Thanks, I went for it. Sounds like it might not be the best condition but price wasn't too bad. I'm intrigued by that Noord. I read your interview online, nice one

Thanks Clifford, looks intriguing. Do you know this seller?

Ensemble Nist-Nah - Elders [Black Truffle, Australia 2022]

My error, I missed that it was available as a CD through Bandcamp (and elsewhere). So that 560 figure is for all three formats LP, CD and download sold through BC.

Just for some context and not a lot else, Gilles Peterson's Arc label LP/download/CD reissue of Scott's 'One For Me' sold 560 copies (physical or download) through Bandcamp. So even if as many again were purchased direct from shops (I suspect that's generous) then that's in region of 1,000 copies. And that's a reissue of a Strata East with all the kudos that label holds, especially amongst the younger customer base. I tend to agree that a Scott LP set, and yes with original artwork (I know, I know) would appeal to a newer audience. It's not going to happen, at least not by Mosaic. An interesting contrast will be the soon released Dorothy Ashby boxset, 6LPs, original artwork, sourced across 4 labels (I think) and LP only. Obviously New Land think there's a market out there still. And I'd say the Ashby/Scott crossover market is pretty strong, again amongst the younger demographic as highlighted by @Adam. I will definitely be buying eb=ven if i no longer fit into "the younger demographic" 😃 Edit to amend error: the Bandcamp figure of 560 sales includes a CD version that is available through them. Thanks to Jazzbo for pointing this out
