    Finally it’s here!!!!!! Very glad this al turned out good. Definitely want to thank Matt for making this happen and feeling a little sorry now for my impatient attitude…. What a great project. This is a lot of stuff to digest that I’ll probably going to spread all over this year. I placed the cds in protective sleeves as I saw some small scratches already. I destroyed two Hatology cds by slipping them in and out of the cardboard and learned from that mistake. Hope others get their stuff soon as well.

  2. Yeah I second some of the suggestions here for sure;

    - Atomic: The Bikini Tapes and Boom Boom

    - Angles: By Way of Deception, Injuries and Dissapeared Behind the Sun 

    - School Days - In our Times 

    Paal Nilssen Love is a big favorite of mine. I never cared much for Mats Gustafsson but he’s quite popular as well. 
     

    Not necessarily contemporary but far from traditional and very Scandinavian are the works of Jan Johansson which I highly recommend: Jazz Pa Svenska and Jazz Pa Ryska. It’s the kind of music you’d like to play when you’re poking the fire in your Swedish forest cabin. Not that I’ve ever done that but I’d like to and than listen to Johansson :) highly atmospheric tunes

    One of my favorite ESP jazz records. I have an original but would love to get the Japanese with obi "just for fun." It's hard to come by.

    The Circle stuff was foundational for me and though all have done work elsewhere that I engage with more, I have a hard time cutting those three records loose.

    I now see that only two other Discogs members own a copy. I feel pretty lucky then 😇

    Never seen that cover before.  Great album

    Definitely. It’s a V-Pine edition from the late 80’s.

    More classic 60’s Freejazz. Marzette Watts and company. Great company that is: Byard Lancaster, Clifford Thornton, Henry Grimes, Jooney Booth, Karl Berger, Sonny Sharrock, J.C. Moses.

    I wouldn't think that the vinyl version of Seagulls would sound as good as the CD. Side 1 has almost 30 minutes jammed onto it so you know the bass will have to be severely rolled off to fit those grooves. Side 2 is over 26 minutes as well, but that still might have some bass roll off compared to the CD.

    Yeah that might be true. I wouldn’t buy any reissue on one of the labels I mentioned above anyway.

    Sometimes suddenly a single vinyl reissue pops up. It's hard to track down the sources and even if they are official or not. I know bootleg labels already messed with the catalogue. I would love to see a good vinyl reissue of Mal's Seagulls album.

    I contacted CamJazz and apparently all the reissues by Eargong, Goodfellas and Our Swimmer are legit. I’ve heard bad stories about all of them and I assume they are all MP3 files pressed on vinyl. I think Cam just accepts every offer they get. A pity as their awesome catalogue deserves a good reissue program. 

  7. Yeah it’s ridiculous to pay that amount for the music but it might be a good investment if you’re in it just for the money. After all it’s a first pressing of what is probably the best known jazz album ever. It’s probably getting worth more every year .

    I was just looking through my LPs to see if I ever did grab one of those $1 Jordan LPs of "Night of the Mark VII" and alas, I never did pick that one up, probably because I had the CD. But I did get his Muse LP, "The Adventurer". I see these aren't going for much, so not all of his Muse LPs are going crazy. I wonder why that one is? Makes no sense to me.

    Well I think it’s one of the more popular records from the label just like the Moontrane. It’s a Jordan favorite of my for sure. But differences in prices are very big indeed.
