I think Dan and Shawn are anti-chewy. Too bad.

Earl Gilmore - From the Depths of My Soul - (June Appal) Incredible record... found for $5 this weekend in a local brick-and-mortar.

I never heard back. Who knows.

You could collect in either form and rack up some serious credit card debt. So... it should stay here.

Don't think it's the same recording. Seems I had both back in the day. There's Touching and Blood with the Roling cover, and a Jazz Life pressing of Blood which has the same catalog number/label. Definitely the same music. Then there's a Polydor Blood which is different music and yet another jacket. The Polydor Blood is generally refered as 'Paul Bley in Haarlem' and looks like this: my copy of Touching looks like this Here's this site, again, for reference. My copy of Blood is white rather than red, but otherwise the same image.

Peter Brotzmann & Han Bennink - Eine Halber Hund kann nicht Pinkeln - (FMP

Now: Squirrel Bait - s/t - (Homestead)

I've found just a small handful of sellers on eBay who can accurately grade an LP.

Nice - mine's got the Marte Roling cover, but I always dug the "Jazz Life" photo. Fantastic LP.

Navarro, Parker, La Porta, Eager, Tristano, Dameron, etc. - Anthropology - (Spotlite)

Yep!

Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley - Ailanthus/Altissima (bilateral dimensions of two root songs) - Triple Point Records

Interview here.

Always liked it, though it's been a few years (at least) since it's been on the turntable. Honestly, to me it swings pretty hard and is melodically inventive - especially among Ornette and Dolphy. Even though the group didn't perform, I would be curious to hear what the version with Bobby Bradford and Steve Lacy would have sounded like! Ascension is one I've also logged a lot of hours with, and I dig it very much - more for the soloing than the collective screams.

I had no idea he was still with us - what a career, is right. RIP.

Windmill Tilter is a favorite!

Funny, I just watched Austin's New Music Co-Op perform some wonderful Dreyblatt music a few weeks ago.

Yeah, sending to/from Canada hasn't been as cheap the last few years.

ugh.

Sad to hear this. RIP.

Huh. I don't smoke anymore and am not that into being high as a concept anymore, but legalization (or at least decriminalization) is the way to go. I also think other drugs should be decriminalized, but I realize that's a minority view.

Recorded some Prestige sides as well as - I think - a few ESPs. It's O'Brien.

I don't mind it being here. Chewy's enthusiasm is always appreciated - wish I could get this juiced about a 45!

Yeah, he did pay for the studio time and leased the master to Savoy for $1/year, IIRC. Assuming he got it back towards the end of the '60s, from what I understand a storage space containing a lot of his early tapes was lost. So it could be gone. It's a very good record although not entirely indicative of the direction he'd go in the future.
