Tasty...and costly

Pillar 1

Sounds like a good one (which of McPhee's aren't). Thanks for the review Steve I recently shifted my collection around and discovered quite how many Joe McPhee albums I have in the full range of group sizes and solo and not a dud amongst them. He's not visited here for a little while, I'll not blame him if the travelling's getting more difficult

Good to see Theon Cross namechecked. He's all over the current London scene's resurgence. Also, I love that 8 Bold Souls album Another good London band from a few years ago, anchored by Oren Marshall on tuba. Theymake no secret of their inspiration, obviously

I think Mr Lowe is striving a bit too hard to make his point here. I suspect, as does his final paragraph or two, that we're just waiting for the big two to get into their stride and maybe a couple of others, Sevilla and Atlético being the usual suspects. But it's got to be fun when and if it lasts. Football is about competition after all and the longer any league remains competitive is better all round.

Hope it's a great day.

United Front - Ohm: Unit Of Resistance [RPM] Good to finally get a copy of this. Strong playing and music

It's a fabulous listen. This is my introduction to her. I've being doing some research and she certainly seems rather special. The Play Loud! label seem to be doing her proud, including a couple of intriguing films. She's performing in London next month

and again, once just wasn't enough. Such a great band

I.C.P - Tentet - In Berlin [FMP]

That's a favourite in this household. The EBB albums were all good

Anima - Monte Alto [Play It Loud, 2015] beautifully presented reissue of some fascinating music

Another fan of them here. If you like Coleman's studio albums of the period you'll be fine with these. If you don't know the studio albums then be prepared for an amount of spoken word/rap on a couple of the concerts

A great song from an unjustly overlooked album, Tom and Crystal were made for eachother!

I bet. I would have liked to see that. The Necks play London about twice a year but I'm not sure Abrahams has done so solo

I'll be in for the Naura for sure

There are at least two other threads where Mr. Nessa answers questions about dates/pressings.

Oh Yes! Love that album, one of my early reggae purchases

Ornette Coleman - Dancing In Your Head [Horizon]

Was onlylistening to that last night. My introduction to Mr. Holley. Impressive release

Just reissued on LP by Pure Pleasure

The Pathé is the Penny Black mine's this one. Maybe Mr Nessa (or Clifford T) can enlighten us as to why so many different labels in 1970 alone

Art Ensemble Of Chicago With Fontella Bass - s/t [America]

Fantastic
