Ah, I thought it was around 77 in toto with the additional tracks.

Dave Burrell's 70s Japanese LPs have been inconsistently out on CD. It would be nice to see a package with all of them in one place: Dreams, Questions & Answers, Only Me, Lush Life, Round Midnight, and Teardrops for Jimmy. Each one is excellent. Black Spring, on Marge, has also seemingly never made it to CD.

oh yeah, that is a nice record that few people seem to know about.

I mean, this kind of dovetails with another recent thread, the subject being what to do (or what to tell others to do) with all this crap when you are no longer alive. Definitely don't want to have it all buried in my tomb. I would, however, be all right having a sarcophagus of my cat next to mine. We could enjoy the afterlife.

That's unfortunate. Both LPs as originally issued would fit on a single CD with much extra room. I'd gather that the 9 minutes of additional music would also be easy enough to squeeze on without trimming.

Good one/bad one 😆 I am getting increasingly tired of having all this stuff. didn't start buying LPs until college in the 1990s, mostly in the punk/indie realm, and began more actively collecting when I got interested in jazz as a college radio DJ midway through undergrad. Varying levels of being able to afford/find stuff I wanted, tapping out now at 6600 LPs and about 3500 CDs. No room for much more, and could stand to whittle it down a bit. I don't know that at this point in life I need a sound library in the way that I thought about it for the last 25 years.

wonder if the Chambers session was even a complete date? i.e., 3 tracks and maybe some false starts/unusable takes.

Have the LT cover of Sonic Boom too. It is a very good record at least.

yeah, just enough to hear it once, probably.

I assume that at some point it'll get posted to YouTube so we can hear it. I don't need to suffer through Chris Botti covering Lee in order to hear this material.

Ira Sullivan and Nicky Hill? I'm in. Oh wait, it's only available in a boxed set with stuff I either have or don't want? Annoying.

wonderful album, too

Rib Crib takes the cake for me as far as those Palms. just finished: Karin Krog: Different Days, Different Ways (Philips, JP orig) Swell album, builds on some of the music she did as part of the 1969 Baden-Baden New Jazz Meeting.

Never really liked that session but part of that is surely the fact that the original Palm pressing is fairly noisy. With cleaned up audio my opinion might change.

hopefully Dan is doing okay; I recall that he was in Florida. heck, I'd love to hear the Migliori just to know what it sounds like. Was Kevin Baconahan able to make contact with Baker?

was finally able to get beyond the paywall to read this. Bleak.

Yeah, that Owen Maercks record is awesome. He's quite a heavy record collector indeed.

how about an album cover with the artist holding up the previous version's cover art (same album)?

Albert Ayler -- My Name Is Albert Ayler -- (Fontana, NL)

looks beautiful!

good old fashioned tap water

yeah, always thought that Perkins LP on Riverside/ABC was a weird one, existence-wise. Nice album though!

I will definitely be grabbing both.

Yeah, it must've been recorded but whether the tapes with the remainder of the set survive is anyone's guess.

that could certainly be true.
