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

MJQ - Live At The Lighthouse [Atlantic, 1974 RE]

Charlie Mariano - with The Chris Hinze Combination [Freedom/Black Lion, UK 1973]

Nat Birchall Quartet - The Storyteller, A Tribute To Yusef Lateef [Jazzman, UK 2019]

I don't know, it's not that bad a photo

+1

I'm still enjoying the selection, thanks

I paid £65 for that Davis and haven't regretted it at all

I don't think we've mentioned Bill Withers which we absolutely should, shouldn't we? here's some social comment from Bill on what is one of the great live Soul albums I think
