Finally got this on the turntable. The live versions of 'Harvest Time' are terrific. Great finds in really good sound, especially Middleheim.
Yeah both are very nice but the Middelheim stands out in sound quality. Makes you wonder how good the rest of the concert is….

Curious to how the original pressing sounded. The reissue really surprises me in sound quality. I know, and the booklet also clearly state, that recording conditions were far from optimal but I think it really sounds good, especially Pharoahs tenor where you could actually hear him breathe and his fingers going over the horn. It’s really miles better than the bootleg I had

Arrived today. I’d say if you like this album and only own the bootleg version like I died you’d really want to get it. Also if you like some of the extras. This boxed set is really beautifully done by Luaka Bop. Wow!
sound is much better than the bootleg but recording conditions weren’t ideal of course. Glad I was able to sell that one and buy this one. I love this approach to the music and I’m pretty sure the cd will be equally as great.

This must be a special ‘Hoffman Forums’ edition.
Not for me. The Debut CD box more than suffices.
Absolutely !
It will probably be raining questions if the box is all analogue from the tapes and when it’s not the folks decide to skip these sessions completely. What I’ve noticed there is that for quite a lot it’s more for sound than for the music itself they listen to jazz.
Now I am no expert on these kind of things but these tapes are probably gone or unusable aren’t they?

I've dropped one or two over the years. I've definitely had a few covers fall and get banged, which is always a drag.
Yeah it happens before you know it even if you take good care. Maybe I’ll put rubber mats on my floor 😜

this is the first LP till today that I dropped on the floor. I still remember how it slipped from my hands and as a I tried to catch it I pushed it against the wall which made even more scratches. Side B was destroyed. I love this music so much that I decided to replace it with a clean copy. Great stuff. On the Nile 🥰

music from another galaxy… breathtaking

According to a Dutch website an lp reissue is upcoming. I have the Japanese cd issue.

This is different from the footage in Kasper Collin's film (Stockholm?), and I think Surgal used what was in Collin's film. Good to see it although of course I wish it was longer!
Yeah me too. I was waiting for that Ayler brothers spiritual outburst but it’s mainly the composition theme that’s being being played here. Nevertheless very interesting footage. The guy still has that almost mythical status to me

Anyone seen this before?

My favorite YEAR would be 1965, including all the live things that are out there. But that's not an era, that's just one year and the apex/culmination of a band.
My favorite RECORD would be Interstellar Space. But that's not an era, that's one day that ended up being a nearly-overwhelming culmination/summary of an entire lifetime.
But the guys been dead 50+ years now, it's all been one story, and we know not just how it ends, but how it got there pretty much every step of the way. For me, that overrides the notion of having just one "favorite" in the sense of "desert island". Can't have a favorite chapter in a great novel, can you?
That's how I see it anyway.
Well said. His style is so different but the quality so consistently high it’s hard to talk about favorites.
1965 was a hell of a year: Ascenscion, Transition, Sun Ship, the Half Note stuff, Meditations etc etc

One of those guys who knew how to play inside and could play just as well outside. He’s on so many great dates. RIP

Has Orange Fish Tears ever been on CD before?
I don’t any of the Palm records had been issued on cd before these series started with it

With Trane, I really like everything he has done. If I’d really had to make a choice I’d choose the Impulse! stuff all of it from Africa/Brass to Interstellar Space.
Coltrane developed in so many ways so rapidly that you could divide his work into more eras. The Miles era, the Monk era, the Prestige sessions, the Atlantic stuff, the Vanguard/Africa/Brass stuff, from Crescent to Transition, Meditations via Ascension to Sun Ship, the Sextet live and his last recordings. Something like that. I really love every one of them but I like the more adventurous stuff most.

RIP glad I’ve seen him at the Bimhuis with William Parker and Rashied Ali. That was a great gig and unforgettable experience

I think the Third Man releases are all from a digital source. I’ve got Black Unity and Ptah the el Daoud. The Ptah sounds okay, the Black Unity not so much.
What vinyl are you spinning right now??

such a powerful live date this is. Clifford Jordan at his best.
Speaking about Clifford Jordan: I’ve ordered the new P-Vine/Groove Diggers release of In The World in December 2022. It was supposed to be released in march but got postponed to September. It’s almost October now and still no sign of it. Anyone else here with that in pre order?
