Thanks, placed an order to complete my Nicole Mitchell selection from them

I'm camping just round the corner....in true RSD fashion

Crass

Looking forward to Mr T's reissue Very nice indeed. I was looking at the cost of this only yesterday wondering if I could justify it in order to replace a 70s pressing. I couldn't...

Defunkt - Thermonuclear Sweat [Hannibal] Larry Young - Of Love And Peace [Blue Note]

Peter Kowald, Leo Smith, Gunter Sommer - If You Want The Kernels You Have To Break The Shells [FMP] I've owned the CD compilation that shaved a long track from this for some time. Good to have the full programme. A very, very good trio

Oh yes

A big to that one too

And some might say "preposterous, pretentious, self-referential and over-produced, Anglocentric music". Some others wouldn't, naturally To me, it's forever the soundtrack to a time when the UK wasn't showing it's best side... In the same year some of us were listening to 'London Calling' and defending that against accusations of "preposterous, pretentious, self-referential and over-produced". Happy days indeed.

Has anyone heard the Rosa Parks album yet? Release date keeps being shunted back in UK but DMG listed it as in stock recently. Evidently WLS is presenting the work live in NYC in May.

Thanks felser

I've listened to it on Spotify and really enjoy it just not justified shelling out for an analogue version Interesting, I didn't realise they came to Europe. The website was still US a few years ago when I purchased from them. When in the discography does the switch happen? The NW originals tend to fetch noticeable prices here now, especially the Tapscott big bands And, forgot to mention that the Creative Arts Ensemble also reissued by Outernational is great too

bought yesterday but the records arrived today A German OJC that doesn't have a listing on Discogs so have no idea of its vintage. Sound is good US rather than German, sadly Very nice indeed. Would love to hear that. Count me in with Hutchfan on the jealousy stakes

I don't have the Jesse Sharp (yet) so hadn't spotted that anomaly. It does seem a completely perverse decision. If I have a chance to ask the person responsible (he occasionally staffs a record shop I visit) I shall do.

more Pharoah

Is it cut at 45rpm? Having spoken to the person who's releasing it about a previous Nimbus reissue he did with the same approach I'm pretty certain the 3 LP format is to improve the sound quality, in his view. I'd like to hear and see if it is an improvement on the CD that I have. Amazing it is.

Not sure why I went to it after an SME afternoon. Had to dig out from the depths of a cupboard. Good listen, took me back to when I bought it on release

Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Face To Face [Emanem] Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Birds Of A Feather [BYG] John Stevens - Spontaneous Music Ensemble [Polydor] Pharoah Sanders - Africa [Timeless]

Emil Richards And The Microtonal Blues Band - Spirit Of 1976/Live At Donte's [Impulse] Herbie Mann - The Wailing Dervishes [Atlantic, mono] Rod Levitt Orchestra - Forty-Second Street [RCA Victor]

I saw The Stones last summer and Mick had the energy of someone in their thirties (or at least my vague memory of such energy levels). To think he did all that with a dodgy ticker is even more amazing. Good luck to him.

He wasn't particularly steady on his feet due to mobility issues when I saw him eighteen months ago, a broken hip isn't going to help. Here's hoping he mends well. He played masterfully, if a little sparingly, that night.

Sadly I'm not sure any of us will witness LJCO live again what with Barry Guy an expat. The last mooted gig fell through because of lack of funding. But we can live in hope...as for Globe Unity...

Malaya McCraven - Universal Beings (International Anthem) I like this more each time I play it. Refreshing, and ideal soundtrack to the unseasonably sunny weather here today. A day off treat

Life doesn't necessarily prepare you for these things is what I found. I found it physically and emotionally a real challenge and recognise the 'feeling older' sensation both in terms of physically but also in taking on a new sense of responsibility that arises from being this age with parents of their age. One thing to remember is do look out for yourself as well as for your Dad. Here's hoping your visit goes well, resolves some of the practical issues and allows you and your Dad some time together that's not about phones, care packages and such stuff.

The documentary talks a little about Stepney's interest in Schillinger, amongst other composers.
