depends on the record and cover as far as storing outside of the jacket. Some of the more fragile jackets get such treatment.

I'm re-sleeving everything with 2.5 mil archival outer sleeves (5 mil on more fragile covers). About halfway done on 5k+ records. Inners are a mixture, although inners in lesser condition tend to get thrown out and replaced with new poly-lined sleeves. Projects like this are fun because I am reminded of some things I hadn't listened to in a while, and some things that could stand to be re-homed.

This ^^^

yeah, I have one of those Savoys and enjoy it very much.

meh. I assume the J.B.'s record (NowAgain) will be around so I'll grab it at some calmer point.

The original LP was a gatefold with scores contained in a nice booklet inside. Wonder if they'll replicate any of that?

DA Music/Alan Bates. I assume it was just licensed to International Phonograph, and that license probably expired. I have the original Polydor issue of the Marion Brown, with a handsome gatefold cover, and it is indeed a wonderful, special session. I have the Polydor pressing of Paul Bley "In Haarlem" as well and it sounds pretty good.

He was also in the Fine Wine Trio with Gene Perla and Bobby Kapp. Interesting combination of musicians.

Nice looking BFT! I have the Ruff on LP, it's good. He is also a poet and now lives in Europe (exactly where I can't recall).

Damn, that is too bad.

RIP -- enjoyed his playing with Jackie McLean, Robin Kenyatta, et al.

The CMIF (New Haven AACM-inspired organization founded by Wadada Leo Smith, Bobby Naughton, and Gerry Hemingway) and CMS Woodstock (Karl Berger/Ingrid Sertso) are the subject of saxophonist/scholar Sean Sonderegger's dissertation: https://wesscholar.wesleyan.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1095&context=etd_diss

Chin is rad. I hope LB and MH can collaborate in some way!

Sad news. He was/is great.

He was the best. Really gutted by his sudden departure.

yeah, this and Olduvai are pretty cool.

Would be a challenge for Braxton to dip back into the original Circle aesthetic himself, as his music has changed quite a bit in the last 49 years too.

He's busy on Instagram. Seems to be doing great.

Used to watch this constantly as a kid on a dubbed VHS tape. I love it!

Haven't spent much time with post-1972 Wilen. Moshi is the latest LP I have in his discography Recommendations?

Happy Birthday! Hope you're spinning something fitting!

GOM to the rescue!

yeah, SAJ I think was a split between Gebers and the artists as far as costs, can't remember all the details. The sub-labels do differ in content and also accounting lines!
