I only have the Biz Markie mix which for some reason also got a vinyl release in the US and isn't hard to find. It's great! Heavy on rare groove, loads of great tunes and Biz's rough and ready mixing style and rapping. All the mixes are on Mixcloud if anyone is interested.

Not really in the spirit of this thread but I noticed a copy of this unlikely LP browsing in Rays Jazz this afternoon - 'Bud Shank in Africa' from 1958. https://electricjive.blogspot.com/2010/11/bud-shank-in-africa-1958.html Released by Pacific Jazz in South Africa only and reissued a few years later in the UK as simply 'Bud Shank Quartet'. It doesn't appear to have ever had a US release.

That is surprising. Everything at Cafe Oto is recorded to a 64 channel multitrack.

I don't see the point. There are already countless compilations. Best Of..., Very Best Of..., Essential..., Introducing..., Definitive..., yada yada yada... The studio albums are all easy to hear and there's very little that doesn't merit a listen. I don't see what another bunch of dubious compilations add.

Could be overstocks dumped for pennies by the distributor.

Agreed - I think the market is focused on 'audiophile' album reissues making anything before the LP era a more difficult prospect. Or no con-fusion as Sweet Papa Lou would always remind us 😂

The BYG/Affinity 'Live In Paris' double LP is taken from the July 27th and 28th concerts. No idea if this set includes new material but the wording kind of suggests not.

When The Cookers played at Church of Sound here in London a few years back we got to the venue (...a church) quite early and found Billy walking around taking it in. I wish I'd said hello and told him how much I love his music but I don't like to bother musicians.

That would be the logical thing to do I guess. Though it's tricky for the label to release with much fanfare if the tapes really don't sound good. Perhaps the answer is a digital release akin to the Fugazi Live Series (currently 750 shows) where people can pick and choose what's interesting to them and download for a few dollars.

This has been my frustration. I asked it about a friend's 80s indie band who had a bit of a cult following. Everything it told me was a complete fabrication. It wasn't even like it had scraped bad information off the web - it just made a load of stuff up. On the other hand I've been using AI to find me relevant academic papers and write snippets of Python code and it's saved me days of work..

If I'd been in the neighbourhood I think I would have stumped up $2.50 for that bill.

Modern/Avant New Releases: A running thread
paulfromcamden replied to colinmce's topic in New Releases
Just to let folks know that OtoRoku downloads are also available directly from Cafe Oto and generally at lower cost as you're not paying Bandcamp 15%. https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/kan-mikami-john-edwards-alex-nielson-live-cafe-oto/ -
As a record fan it would be nice to have affordable vinyl reissues of some of the posthumous Impulse albums - Stellar Regions, Living Space, Olatunji, Offering etc. Though I appreciate these may not be strong commercial propositions and not a good starting point if labels are hoping to attract new listeners.

Slightly underwhelming 100th anniversary "Best Of John Coltrane" compilation from Craft featuring tracks from his Prestige LPs. https://craftrecordings.com/blogs/news/best-of-john-coltrane

I've often had the same thought looking at the amazing range of Japanese language books on jazz on sale in Disk Union...
