James Newton - Flute Music [Flute Music Productions] arrived today. Been after this for some time. Sounding good and minty

I think it very much depends on what you're buying and to a lesser extent where you're buying. I started re-buying vinyl about 5 years ago predominantly to get the ECM titles that had never been CD released. Except for particular titles, often the the first ten or so releases, I could buy most for £10. However I got the bug and in no small part to the "what vinyl are spinning now" thread started buying FMP. Po Torch, Ogun, Incus and other improv/free jazz titles. Buying these I'm spending upwards of £20 on most NM titles and I will consider £40 and above for something I really want that's in good condition. However an 80s Stanley Cowell LP cost less than £10 inc postage from Italy recently Analysis of Discogs pricing history does suggest a steady price increase, not many sellers will list below the highest historical price (no surprise there). Ebay is always more costly (unless you're lucky with a no-one else bids listing = £9 for Gil Evans' Parabola felt lucky) and it never fails to amaze me why folk make higher bids that the current Discogs price for equivalent grade LPs, London shops are Discogs and Popsike savvy and prices reflect that fact Interestingly it would appear anecdotally from posts elsewhere on the board that the prices I'm paying are often higher than US boardees have paid for these titles. Wherever you are they do take up the room, I agree

? Whenever I come across a clean ESP pressing, I feel like there's something wrong with it. Yes, it doesn't feel right. Listening to New York Art Quartet now which is surprisingly blemish free Globe Unity Orchestra - Jahrmarkt/Local Fair [Po Torch] first listen.Side 2 might just be the maddest piece of music I've heard in a very long time

yes please

Ginkai is beautiful

that Umlaut is a fine release

having spent some time on his website, it's a goldmine of potentially very interesting music

That's some interesting line ups indeed. Very tempting. Thanks for highlighting its existence

welcome aboard Harbour thanks for posting this reminder of these releases. I've just ordered Poesy, In Concert and the one with Henderson. Very much looking forward to hearing Poesy and not having to pay the vinyl premium on it (and the others)

Josh Berman - A Dance And A Hop [Delmark] always happy to have more Berman. I wish he'd visit London

I think the "or more" is standard layout for all Bandcamp pages.I don't recall ever seeing one without that option

Paul Bley Quintet - Barrage [ESP] complete with lovely thudding pressing fault for authenticity

you need to buy another three to participate in this thread. and buy all the CD versions as well.. I know that......withdraws to corner, head hung in shame......... I'd better join you as I only have one vinyl edition ( NYC mono ?) NYC mono means you don't have to go quite so deeply into the corner, I suspect

ABs have looked unstoppable, both individually and as a team. However SA have looked like an immovable mountain so their clash will offer one hell of a contest Shame for Scotland who played so well to stay close to the Wallabies. Sometimes the ref is the most important person on the pitch and he surely was with that decision I loved the way that Argentina walloped the Irish, who I was supporting (after England's dismal showing it was time to shout for the country of my grandparents' birth).I'd very much like to see them take on ABs in the final Is the all Southern hemisphere semis real that big a surprise? Maybe Argentina but the other three were always likely to be there

Jackie McLean - Destination Out! {BN Liberty] my only copy

Deborah Solomon - Utopia Parkway, The Life & Work Of Joseph Cornell

FB not required it would seem . Fun indeed. I've only ever seen this band once, about ten years ago, and the thing that stood out most for me on the night was Blade. He did something very similar that night too

Yusef Lateef - The Phoenix And The Centaur [Prestige] Woody Shaw - Love Dance [Muse] the first made me think of the second. Not sure why, maybe the brass voicings. Anyway both are my favourite leader dates by each musician I think, for today at least

Dave and George put money in my bank account every month to do this. All I have to do is turn up and vote Tory every 5 years. I knew I was going wrong somewhere. Remind in four and half years will you please

For me too the last I was really excited by. Beyond that it became a bit of a habit/duty 35 years ago? never! that was the soundtrack to many, many memories. The tour was great too. But I'm not sure I really need all those Cds and DVDs (yet)

Marilynne Robinson - Lila beautifully written first fifty pages.....hungry to finish but want to savour at the same time. i don't remember Gilead having quite such an immediate impact as good as that was are you retired or something? all this lazing about reading......

that grass is looking very green again, Steve. Enjoy that great run of gigs

Brotzmann, van Hove, Bennink, Mangelsdorff - Outspan No.1 [FMP] I definitely want No. 2 now 1 is better than 2. Thanks Clifford. No.2 is consistently more expensive so I'll stick enjoying No.1 for a while longer

I'm still waiting to hear if my copy has been shipped. I appreciate that they are a small concern but they've been exceptionally poor communicators. I paid for my copy over 13 months ago and have only had updates as I've repeatedly chased them up. Now the thing is out I've nothing again.? That is poor indeed. I tend to get prompt replies from the shop manager Mark but maybe that's because I'm usually about to spend money with them It probably doesn't help to know that copies are on display at the venue It arrived today and is a great release up to their usual high standards. Communication needs to improve to say the least. By beef was not the delay but being kept in the dark. Glad to hear you've got it and are enjoying it. It is indeed very good meanwhile.... Brotzmann, van Hove, Bennink, Mangelsdorff - Outspan No.1 [FMP] I definitely want No. 2 now
