Reminds me of comments you see on Youtube. Under a video of a popular song from the 70s you'll see a bunch of absurdly nostalgic comments claiming that the 70s was the golden age and its music was the best ever. Under a video of a popular song from the 80s you'll see a bunch of absurdly nostalgic comments claiming that the 80s was the golden age and its music was the best ever. Under a video of a popular song from the 90s you'll see a bunch of absurdly nostalgic comments claiming that the 90s was the golden age and its music was the best ever.
But those voting for 80's or 90's are just idiots or trolls.

Afro-Jazz was reissued on vinyl. Did not expect it, but it was not a disagreeable surprise.

More likely by Archie Leech from A Fish Called Wanda.

That is correct. You can get it for only 162 euros on Discogs!
The topic here is LPs that have never made it into CD, not "never made it into cheap CD".

and several great Max Roach albums with Billy Harper.
This Hannibal album has been out on CD. Japan 1997.

I am currently in Japan and the vinyls were available in various jazz shops in Osaka and Tokyo as of today (try Disc Union.) A bit more expensive than elsewhere, though.

Also this Japanese thing https://www.discogs.com/Tatsuya-Nakamura-Quartet-Song-Of-Pat/release/2591908

The Ace is almost complete... "Track 8" (Blue) "has been edited down by two minutes in order to enable us to fit these 2 LPs on 1 CD."
Looking at the tracklisting of those 2 albums, Fantasyjazz has only 11 tracks (no "Du" there) vs. 12 tracks on Ace, while Ace's "Blue" is missing 2 minutes from the end. Tough decision. Even worse is the Japanese paper sleeve version of Uhuru (UCCO-9465) that would have room for all the music but still uses the same edit as Ace. Pathetic.
-
Liebman's albums flow under the radar easily, since he releases so many of them. This cast is almost the same as on "First Visit," one his 1st solo albums from 1973. (Richie Beirach instead of Kenny Werner.)

The BGO CDs are fine but ugly as hell. For record fetishist with limited shelf space like me those Japanese miniature LP sleeve editions are godsent. Now I'm glad I did not get the Jazzman vinyl box, and even more glad I did not shell out extortionate prices for it in aftermarket.

Can't go wrong with Steve Swallow.

Sugimoto, like many other Japanese jazz men, had good understanding of what's currently hip in America, and as such some of his later works are on a bit slick side. But those early 70's recordings are good in my book. I like Babylonia Wind a bit more than Country Dream but both are fine. I like this one a lot, too (though it might be hard to track down): Quintet Live at Mingo's Musico (1973).
-
That Herbie Hancock album is an obvious bootleg. Probably some more as well. Elvin Jones is probably not but still, "Doll of the Bridge?" Yeah right. Standards have sunk kind of low.

That would be a trip. Who else played with Jack Johnson and John Coltrane?
Realized that Garvin Bushell might also be the missing link between Miles Davis and Jack Johnson. He was on those 1962 sessions with Gil Evans Orchestra that produced a.o. much maligned Quiet Nights LP.
-
Garvin Bushell, huh? Did not know he was such an old timer. Now I had to pull out the Complete Coltrane at Village Vanguard 1961 box set. Always liked this one for amazing sound clarity and diverse range of music preformed.

Someone commented on discogs page that a million pounds is ridiculous, why not a billion. The difference is a million is still obtainable amount, get a mortgage, sell your daughter to slavery, rob a bank. It boils down to how much you really want this Rendell Carr box. But an ordinary Joe can no way get a billion bucks. Just can't.

What - or rather: which ones - are "the four Deep Reality Hino discs"?
I have three of the Takt by now, the other four are on order from CD Japan, will be a while (I think they're not even shipped yet, and shipping takes 3-6 weeks usually, going with the cheap option).
I think the 4 that were released December 5th, namely
Love Nature, Journey To Air, Peace&Love and A Part.
BTW, I ordered these plus Mabumi Yamaguchi mini lp from hmv.co.jp and it cost me 125 EUR with EMS shipping, Dustygroove charges US$150 (about 139 EUR) for the discs alone. If you live outside USA like me the former would seem a better option.

Masaomi Kondo, Hitoribochi no Heya (1971). Spoken word record with backing by members of The Freedom Unity band. I checked it out for the music but stayed for vocals. Been learning Japanese for several years but always struggled with understanding speech. This I could understand, which was nice.
Yeah, music's fine, too.

Good talk though I don't entirely agree with everything he says. He's right about collectors but in the old days collectors tended to guard their holdings jealously-- if you wanted to hear something you had to be a friend of the collector. That attitude seems to have changed: now music and films that were once very difficult to find are being posted on YouTube. And even if YouTube goes down I think collectors will find other ways to make their findings public.
I used to pose the question that if everything was available on line do I really need to own books, cds or DVDs? (And I own way too many.) I thought that this was a hypothetical question but now it may happen in my lifetime (I never thought driverless cars would happen in my life time either but if I manage to stay alive a few more years.....).
And speaking of such things there was a time when Steven Lasker would probably have kept his discovery of the earliest known Duke Ellington broadcast to himself and his friends but now...:
Sadly I've discovered many times I really need to check something out it is not readily available for me. Sure you can find your Kind of Blues and A Love Supremes on youtube but what if you need to hear this rare Japanese or Finnish release from yesteryear? And stuff that's on youtube today might not be there tomorrow, maybe because it violated the copyrights, maybe because the guy who uploaded in the first place deleted their account.
Just can't rely on online sources; you can only make sure you got the music if you got the disc, file, whatever.

I have all of these as previous CD versions and some as vinyls as well, but I'm still going to buy these new versions. Original cover art plus mini lp, what's not to like?
-
I met him once after his concert with McCoy Tyner trio. Nice guy (of course.)
Here's a solo from Frank Zappa 1976 NYC show.
-
Is he the same guy as one Tony "Batman" Ortega who played woodwinds on Frank Zappa records, most notably Grand Wazoo?
-
Safe but time consuming way would be recording it real time with audacity or some other recorder.
-
This is an interesting LP. New York Saxophone Madness, Danjiri. A private pressing from Japan.
Massimo Urbani - thoughts, recommendations?

Funniest clip and interview here, where Calvin Hill says he came to Italy to play with the greatest trumpeter he's ever played with, Enrico Rava, but it's worth it even if he has to play with two of the worst musicians he's ever known, Massimo Urbani and Nestor Astarita:
Of course, things are not quite as bleak as can be attested from this absolutely smoking outfit, which consists of Enrico and Massimo alongside with three Scandinavian beasts, Palle Danielsson, Jon Christensen and Bobo Stenson (a Dane, a Norwegian and a Swede) :
