  1. MY GOD! I remember getting offered loads of the LT version of that...literally handfuls of LPs and I think they were $5 a piece and I thought I should only buy 2 or 3 Mind you I too have never seen the Japanese copy before now either ....but still $660 ouch...(ain't even that good I think)
  2. Thats because you have been busy buying fancy dancy BabY Face Willlete singles from your NEW friends at the Blues forum -_- On a serious note...can you send me the download link please as I cannot thin I have ever done this (yet)
  3. read it lots before and still laugh
  4. I will be sulking now and listening to sad nordic sounding music for the rest of the afternoon.
  5. Here is the details and a nice picture for those who ain't seen the Redman issue from the wonderful Trovar ECM site. ECM 1225 is Dewey Redman Quartet, The Struggle Continues with * Dewey Redman: Tenor Saxophone * Charles Eubanks: Piano * Mark Helias: Bass * Ed Blackwell: Drums Recorded January, 1982 at Columbia Recording Studios, New York. Produced by Robert Hurwitz.
  6. That is the Indescribablyboring (Independent) for you. As for the truth of their claim ...thats a debate for another day perhaps. I certainly have had a long affection for ECM releases ( not all of them albeit) but in general I like what they have released and are releasing now. ...and for a label that has managed to keep doing that and NOT with mainstream or pappy jazz that ain't easy in the last 30 years. As for the Dewey Redman issue...I was gazing at this the other evening after reading the older ECM book Sleeves of Desire and seeing it there. If it is as good as the Robin Kenyatta release then I would love to see it. I did not know however how little these had sold and also how that compared to other jazz releases of that period ...this was lean times for jazz without a shadow of doubt. Anybody know how many copies the Koln Concert would have shifted since release? (and another question...how the bloody hell do you guys find out? )
  7. Calm down you will have to wait like all the others
  8. Here is what it looked like Bit of fishing around might save Aric and other ECM worshippers a few bucks! Click here for the book detail ...could not upload the image evidently...( technical hitch on my behalf http://www.ecm-records.com/Catalogue/Books...=&we_start=

  10. yup heard that a while ago and we talked about it ( I think) Was a bit strange...he was not there nor talked to anybody who was but it interesting all the same for painting the background to the story Still nice it was to listen to it again. Reminds me I still have ot read the book I waited for and I believe there was discussion of a tv documentary and or film....probably the latter but I er ...was not there nor spoke to anyone that was
  11. Ia this the item you seek ? Here is the cover and a link to a Japanese ( maybe?) site about it http://www.yogiga.com/yukie/11_review/02_F...02_Free-4-1.htm Not heard it but seen it in the ECM sleeves of desire book I have
  12. You mean you have...sniff...someone else as well as me...sniff? Thats it. I shall reserve my activity to finding rare ECM records for Aric Seriously well done for finding it. Enjoy the new one.
  13. I always had hoped that they would do a Blue Note paper sleeve reissue programme in chronological order say 5 a month and if you bought the lot you would get the unreleased or recent finds ...Andrew Hill etc Nerdy? You bet Even made room as I type on my shelf
  14. Sure enough but it can never be only that for me at least
  15. I never fail to understand how many peoples lives are empty of music and who will only listen to music that is not too loud or as certain 'people in my er marriage of the female persuasion' refer to as background music ugh! It such a torture as I get to the best bit of a solo or a climax of symphony to be asked to turn ot down...its only supposed to be background.. Its the whole friggin thing in my life....background, walls, air, feelin...not some tint rant over
  16. Watched it again and it is such a refreshing change from all of that Roger moore nonsense and everything since then. I think this was one of the best Bond films I have ever seen. Very exciting, heart wrenching etc but believable... only shame is as the bond films go back in time the techie stuff moves on with sms etc..anyway it did not spoil it for me
  17. Ah yes of course. I am slightly bearded, no sweater and only 38 and LOVE ECM . Should I shave my love too?
  18. You do not have an opinion. It is only wind and that makes you think you have an opinion. Just raise your leg and let it out that way
  19. Yup I saw it and thought it very interesting to hear several view points on the man himself as well as some great clips. On another side I did hear him talking with marian McPartland and that also was very interesting too. ...anyway if you can get a copy of this on dvd I would recommend it...they had it over here on the TV a while back I think but I saw the dvd...very good indeed. Inspired me to pick up a few TV recordings including some from the 70's.....all I can say is ...Wow!
  20. I would get rid of internet explorer and get firefox...no need to be techie or anything like it. Much easier to use, less pop ups etc and bugger all spyware compared with IE Get rid of it....I did the whole lot over a year or so and burnt IE then Office and then went the whole hog and got rid of windows ...bit scarey with the latter at first and now I have it sorted but I do not miss it . Anyway install firefox and try it...it is very good... honest.
  21. This for me was one of those lucky to be here when it came out records as it was a lovely surprise for me. The LP itself I think is certainly one of the strongest I have heard with him on and all respect to the person with the wisdom to get this out at last. A risk but well worth payng and a good example for others no doubt.
  22. Sometimes its good to be in the UK!
  23. I have just bought what may have been the new lp with John patton I referred to earlier last month. Nice set from a few years ago with George Braith. By the way referring to Laughing Soul ...I have it and love it so if you can get it (especially taking advantage here ion the UK of the lovely exchange rate its yours for less than a tenner.....who would have thought that years ago a Japanese import cd coming from the US for less than a tenner...!
