Damn, 30 bucks an lp!

One of my all time favorites, though some may find it maddening to listen to:

Xenakis is excellent. Across the board, excellent. This was a recent pick up, from da bastids: Very nice. Also, anything by Laurie Spiegel is worth picking up.

Listening to this: Really enjoyable!

No, I wouldn't go that far. But it is a nice release, overall.

I keep coming back to these, time after time. Ansermet's conducting of the Rites of Spring All of them, actually, but in particular, the first one. Timeless. Black Angels, but Unto the Hills is spectacular.

The "Vault" is moving????

Yes, it is different. But it does feel like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel. And yes, good remastering, as are most of the other releases.

What was the subject of this thread again? [i am discovering the thrill of streaming high res files from my iMac to my two stereo systems, one being a solid state Conrad Johnson preamp/amp combo and the other an HH Scott 222C tube integrated (filtered through a nice DAC).]

also, pm sent

Listened to it. It's okay, nothing much. The Dagger records rehearsal stuff is much better.

It'll go lower. I paid under $100 for the first set.

I'll be waiting for a decent price on this:

Well done.

Stumbled across Samuel Blaser's "As the Sea" on Hatology, with Marc Ducret, Banz Oester, and Gerald Cleaver. Very nice! Trombone/guitar/double bass/drums, an intriguing combo.

"Blue Moses" was issued as a Japanese import. I don't recall if it ever was issued in the U.S.

Most of them, yes.

While I won't defend them with regards the boots that they sell, they do have to pay the rent, with regards to the pricing of their legit stuff. Yes, there are used items that are overpriced; but the main reason I go there when I'm in NYC is that they just have stuff that I will not find anywhere else. The staff is always nice, and when they get a feel for what I listen to, they'll toss me recommendations that I find to be worthwhile purchases. I don't feel like I'm ripped off there.

In that case I don't expect to get a reply from them... Charging $15 - $16 for bootlegs is a disgrace in my view - but I'm probably being naive... Yeah, it's pretty disgusting and honestly, I don't see who's paying for them - most of those titles one could easily find in FLAC format online, for free! What's weird is that apart from their bizarre used item markup and these homebrewed bootlegs (from the owners' record collections), they're a great store. Just to reiterate, they make these in house, in the back room. JAW, you are not being naive, and I agree with you, that they should know better, and shouldn't be selling them. DMG has their own label, and have authored some excellent and legit reissues.

I was.

Why don't you just order from Downtown Music Gallery. They have most of the fontanas "reissues" available.

They're cdr boots. They have been selling those kinds of "reissues" for years.

I agree. Carter/Bradford certainly have their followers, but Horace Tapscott music is sought after, internationally.

I'd like to hear the entire Daley set as well
