Suitner`s Dvorak cycle is magnificent ....

Superb Bruckner 7 .... Otmar Suitner was an exemplary conductor ....

Hypnotic stuff ....

I believe 3 more alternates + 4 "false start" tracks ....

Very good ....

The version from the Keystone Korner in 1978 (also) comes to my mind ....

Larry Ridley on the title track .... a classic in my house ....

There is a japanese Joker LP with a live performance in Milano/Italy form March(?) 1969 with Victor Gaskin still part of the group ....

I have SUA ST 50063 from 1979 with that cover ....

You`re welcome .... the vinyl cover art is great too (SUA ST 50040 and SUA ST 50063) ....

Speaking of all-time faves ....

Not being in rating frenzy either .... it is all about personal impressions which change - but over the years I`m pretty positive about "Our Thing" ....

A terrific album .... and it says s lot about "Our Thing" that was rated higher by both of us ....
