You guys and your Lansdowne LPs - jealous!

Wow. RIP.

I think Peter's second package is the last one still in transit.

I thought it was very endearing.

I wanted more of the obvious comedic repartee between Barre and Evan - who needs music?

Definitely would like to own a copy of this record - every time I run into it in the field, it's trashed.

"QOW" is on Coincide and you can't fuck with that tune. Dewey's Impulse albums are wonderful.

I really need to pick these up. Amazing stuff.

okay so it looks like three are taking the slow boat. Good to know.

Mode for Joe is an excellent record; much love for Joe Chambers here (with an admitted uncertainty, as I already expressed, about some of the 1964-1966 BN avant-garde dates). I think a weekend spin of Compulsion is in order.

Fuck me. Hope the other one arrives...

cool, I know of at least two that have gone AWOL... but it's not yet hand-wringing time.

So please post confirmation if you have or haven't received your stuff yet (assuming the Canadian parcels are still in customs). I mailed it all AFTER the holiday on Wednesday, 9/3 in the morning. Everything to a US address went out Media Mail. The Brooklyn post has been brutal this summer (def on the receiving end - nothing lost, just sloooowww) so I do encourage patience and a cautious acceptance of the Media Mail party line, which is "one to three weeks (though often sooner)." Anything that we determine to be lost will be refunded in FULL or replaced with similar items at no cost to you, whichever you prefer. Thanks!

right, same here - the experience of seeing someone or hearing someone in person is very different than on record.

yeah, that might be right - I doubt I've listened to it in the last 5-7 years. (and I don't have Chuck or Larry's memory)

wish I had caught that but I was at BAM for Reich & Glass (which was great too, but very different).

Compulsion is a weird one. Never been sure whether or not I "liked" it but it's an interesting date and I'm glad it was recorded/released. Andrew!!! is very fine. I like Strange Serenade (w/ Silva & Waits) a lot, as well as the Steeplechase trio (the name of which I'm forgetting). And the ensemble set that Freedom put out is cool too.

Färnlöf is an excellent player. He's on a bunch of strong Swedish dates.

yeah, that is a "good deal." Bid much more and lost several times.

Sick. I've been trying to get one for many years, though often the copies that come up are hammered... excellent session though.

right, that was my first introduction to the name years ago, strangely didn't delve into those small group sides as a result.

Ashley may have had to retitle it "The House that Norah Built."

yeah I read that post, definitely made me want to seek out more of his music.

classic date.

@larrykart is banished to history !
