my understanding was that Berjot was responsible for the America, Carson/Decca, and Galloway recordings and released/sold them as he saw fit.

Re: Chi-Congo: French Decca (via Pierre Berjot) --> EMI Odeon --> Paula --> Carson

donation!

yeah, it was totally illegal but very fun to see.

yeah, I had that and wasn't stoked on it.

yup, that tracks. The Japanese EMI-Odeon versions of People in Sorrow and Les Stances were fairly contemporaneous with the French Pathé pressings, as I understand it. I've never seen Japanese LP pressings of other Nessa-related material, unless some ended up with "import obis" over there.

It was first released on SABA, which changed its name to MPS in 1968. I just checked and my copy is in fact the SABA issue.

Made in America is rad, love it. speaking of Ornette, a buddy of mine re-set Chappaqua to include Ornette's music for the film rather than the revised soundtrack, and screened it locally (very DIY-style). It was much better!

Bomba reissued certain Nessa titles in Japan, and Chief in the UK licensed a number of things as well. I've never seen French Nessa reissues. I have seen French Delmark reissues.

yeah, I have the SABA German pressing of Sunday Walk, which is the original version as I understand it.

yeah, I have the German MPS pressing, wonderful album.

Shapeshifter is a cool spot but the sound can be a bit difficult in the space (not to mention lines of sight). If they do in fact move somewhere else, hopefully it's somewhere that is a bit more forgiving to the ears and eyes. I also know that musicians have legitimate complaints about both Smalls and Shapeshifter. It does remind me a bit of the whole Tonic situation, where there were protests in the streets led by Marc Ribot when it shut down, but when it was active every musician and many patrons had a litany of negative things to say!

That is the Sax/Sex No End record, right?

There's also Carmell Jones In Europe which includes cuts from Nathan Davis "Hip Walk" and Annie Ross/Pony Poindexter.

The Chili Peppers are terrible (IMO) but Flea is cool and can play the shit out of the bass.

Hearing from Brad Linde, a close collaborator of Redd's in recent years, that the pianist and composer passed this morning. Sad news -- a giant.

yeah. Controversy helps make the name, I guess.

I don't know why Daniel Spicer, who seems like a decent chap, even took this bit of click bait garbage on. Really makes me want to revise my opinion of him as well.

yeah that Friesen interview is great, thanks!

hell yes, great great film! last flick I caught was Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker with early appearances from Julia Duffy and Bill Paxton, and convincing work by Susan Tyrrell and Bo Svenson. Weird one!

I love Aebi but it took me many years to feel that way.

I'll have to listen to Flakes again. I didn't hate it but it didn't blow me away either (which is probably why it's been sitting in the racks untouched for quite a while).

one of my favorite movies ever, btw. just got my first shot today in Brooklyn. Second is scheduled for 4/9. Feel fine, just a bit of tingle in my left hand and a sore spot from the jab. Looking forward.

Celluloid was run by Jean Georgakarakos of BYG fame. I assume the Hive Mind is from a digital source; my copy is now buried in pre-move boxes.
