That's been like this for a while (or this like that? anyway...) Seems Universal let Promising Music release some of the titles they had no interest in, themselves. Promising Music picked some weird stuff, in my opinion, but also some goodies (Wilen, Tchicai). I have the Wilen, the Dauner (classic German free), and just got a copy of the nice Dave Pike Set album (which is close to easy listening, but ey...) The main fault of the label, to me, is that the discs are hopelessly overprized. They're well done though, fold-out cardboard, a bit larger than normal digipaks (higher) and with a thick booklet (which does contain little besides German/English versions of the original liners, though). Anyway, I shied away from buying these discs because of the hilarious price (20+ euro unless you buy from some of the large Amazon Marketplace sellers, which I did/do). Have ordered the Tchicai now, finally... and a couple of others (Mariano, Pork Pie).

Congratulations to all of you, Jim!

Rearward is Italian - their only fault is that their releases are a bit overprized... and have bad distribution (at least here... the three Clarke/Boland, Griff/Bags, Shihab compilations, I got them from dustygroove of all places... I'm still somehow thinking an Italian release ought to be cheaper and easier to find over here, but...) Lon, I have all the new ones on my wantlist anyway, no matter how much duplication there might be!

Rearward have a quite a few Clarke/Boland and related titles in print by now: http://www.ishtar.it/framerearward.htm some are weird choices though... I think all or most of "Companionship" is already on one of the older discs (RW 101/102/103), or "Seeds" is on there or something... I have a lot of catching up to do there, as all I have are RW 101, 102 and 103, as well as the related Carl Drewo disc (RW 105) (and the unrelated, fantastic Azzolini disc, RW 104).

Not that I knew of... it's all over the place period and label-wise. For instance, there's some on a few early Clef sessions (now on a Mosaic set), and there's some on the Pablo albums done in trio format... rather unlikely those would end up on the same disc!

ha, I like that line, "Wackelkontakt zur Ewigkeit" (it means something like: Jarrett has a "loose connection to eternity", or "defective contact" or whatever is the most appropriate translation)

The Gibbs is great (though there seem to be no detailed session infos available for either albums, alas). And the Merrill is sublime! ********** Ordered Patton's "Accent on the Blues" from a US ebay vendor (20$, no biggie with the $ so cheap). I fell for Amazon's CDR plot (back when it still said "Audio CD" in the big description and the actual info was hidden in the small print) and have been annoyed over that ever since... now I'm still missing "Blue John" (by the time I saw that one up on Amazon again I was smart enough to check the small print...) Also bought the second release by BraffOesterRohrer at their concert last night - very good one, just gave it a first spin: BraffOesterRohrer - Walkabout (Unit Records UTR 4203) And I received a small order from a Swiss vendor I wasn't aware of, which still had these three in stock, amazingly! "Akisakila" is the German Konnex version (of which I found "Akisakila Vol. 2 / Lono" used a few years ago), and the ZoKoSo completes my run of Koller's MPS reissues. All three of them were albums I thought I'd have to do with CDR copies, glad to have found them!

I didn't even realize that all these artists were signed to Warner then (and some now... Nonesuch is Warner, too, or at least Warner-distributed or something...) Another one: Gram Parson's "GP / Grievous Angel" twofer... also on Reprise, of course

Because of Warner Bros.? More a fan of their film productions... the great early Emmylou album were on Reprise (was that part of Warner by '75 already?), and Joni Mitchell went on to Asylum (same question: when did that enter the Warner Group?)

nothing wrong with this, one, i think... great box indeed! those early live tracks are terrific!
