Who are the musicians on that one? I came up empty on a google search.

Yeah, I bought and was delighted with that one, too. Still need to find an "Elevated Edition" of 'Stand Up' at a decent price. I have the first 3-CD set of that one which came out in 2010. Also want the "Adapted Edition" of 'Aqualung', have the 2011 2CD set. Still waiting for a meaningful expansion of 'Thick as a Brick', and am much less enamored of their subsequent work, am good with the standard CD's from 'Passion Play' on.

Got my shipment, beautiful condition, amazing packing job, thanks Scott!

Mine did not get assigned a number, shows as " /6000". I should run over to the Hoffman site, where it no doubt would be hailed a great collector's item (as is every version of every CD ever made).

Received this Friday and am playing it now. Despite the understandable concern over the title (which was the originally proposed title for the "Cheap Thrills" album, hence the use here), the music, sound, and booklet are excellent if you were/are a fan. Four albums worth of material (about 135 minutes) for $13 Amazon Prime. I don't recommend the lifestyle, but I do recommend the music. https://www.amazon.com/Cheap-Thrills-Brother-Holding-Company/dp/B07HC3VFGK/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1544036897&sr=1-1&keywords=big+brother+dope Update: Sound is variable, slightly dodgy (but totally listenable) on some of the outtakes, but superb on other material.

THOU SHALT NOT COVET!!!

$17.99 Amazon Prime. Being released Friday 12/7.

Heath brothers CD received in good order, it was packed well and in great condition, and Fabio was very conscientious in shipping and tracking the order, and is delightful to converse with. Thank you!

We all were...

Thanks. I own the Shepp and the Haden, don't remember any Robinson solos from them, but will check. And will check out some of the other titles, some of which (Peacock, Naughton) I am totally unfamiliar with.

Nice!

I also received it from ImportCD's today. Description as above, and I have not listened either. But at under $4 per disc, I have no complaints.

I'm not aware of any Robinson dates (leader or noteworthy solo work as a sideman) from the mid-late 60's or early 70's either. Can you fill in any details for me?

Cecil Taylor, Nathan Davis, Hugh Masekeka, Roy Hargrove, Tomasz Stanko...

$26.53 Amazon Prime. I paid about $10 more last month and was very pleased with set. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GRLPXRW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=superdeluxeed-20&linkId=241bbf18eb836e8dbb1544dadc709bd9&language=en_US

Got that one from the same board member, forgot about it. Yes, it is really good also.

I also really like Funk Dumpling. I am not aware of any other albums as leader or sideman for him from that era. Am I correct, and if so, do we know why?

I've heard almost all of it also, and missed out on buying this CD when it was affordable. I agree on the front line, have always considered the brothers functional, but not front line. The singer/pianist got a lot of airplay in his brother's band around that time - "Expansions" was my theme song for one of my college radio shows ("Leaving This Planet" was my theme song for my other one - remember, it was the early 70's). Of the 56 original Strata-East releases, I've heard 51 in full, owned 46 of them at one time or another (I was able to come by them easily in Philly in the 70's), and currently own 25 of them on CD. Biggest MIA's for me that are on CD are the Cecil McBee and the Weldon Irvine (neither of which are really great albums, but they're good), and the one we are talking about here. Biggest MIA's because they've not ever made it to CD are the Mtume (personnel and era/feel make it essential, though it is underrehearsed and sloppy), the Shirley Scott (best album she ever did), the Harold Vick (ditto) and the awesome Jazz Contemporaries "Reasons in Tonality". Would also be nice to have the Cosmic Twins, the other Jazz Contemporaries, the Charles Davis, and the Brass Company on CD. The ones I've never heard in full are The Descendants of Mike and Phoebe (one of many Bill Lee projects on the label), the other John Gordon, the Muriel Winston, the Bruce Johnston/Rodney Jones, and the Billy C. I've heard parts of some of them.

Strata-East is correct. Always a good guess on my BFT's.

I strongly recommend the Kuhn and the Moondoc. And the Coltrane boxes are the way to own the Prestige material, as well as the Mingus and Coltrane boxes for the Atlantic material.

Not Leon Thomas either. Yeah, #5

She is, thanks. Not sure if you ever had her in class. Zakiyyah Felser.

I have, it's good.
