My NM Vortex vinyl sounds just fine. Nice date.

Seconded/thirded. I'm going to just throw another one in the ring for a 3-CD box of Marion Brown's 1970s Impulse LPs/related material. That music is essential and needs reevaluation. I think they've been out on CD in Japan, but a Mosaic Select or similar style box for the broader market would be much appreciated and quite valued.

Those Cohelmec records are awesome. I love Next especially - really unique compositions/group interaction.

Cool. I've never been to the store (and many years since I've been in MA) but I plan to be on the East Coast this summer. You can hold that Abdul-Hannan stash for pickup, right?

Though I dig what we've got, that sure would have been nice.

Rumasuma is good, though for whatever reason I prefer Burning Spirits (which has been reissued, by Concord no less!). Whatever - all of Simmons' dates from the 60s and 70s are killer. Interface is a neat record, for sure! Way better than I "expected" it would be.

All gone!

$20 shipped gets the rest of it. Not bad stuff at all!

Sorry, was busy this AM and just getting this updated. Thanks y'all!

Bump - some more stuff bubbling up.

They're coming!

Ah, I thought that only included the Catfish/EMI LPs, not the privately-produced material.

Thanks for these. Beautiful.

Got all those but the Foster - some really nice ones. I was under the impression that the Dulfer was happening, but I haven't heard anything about it for a while.

I feel your pain. My friend, who's pretty well-connected, was trying to do the Abdul-Hannan LP, which is David S. Ware's first appearance on record. He found Abdul-Hannan, had access to the tapes of this privately-issued gem, and due to various difficulties (not the least of which being a request for absolutely obscene amounts of money) he finally dropped the idea. So whether it's something that seems "fairly obvious" or a piece that barely registers a blip on the radar of all but the most obsessive, it can be a real headache to secure the rights to reissue something. I suppose that's partly why bootlegs and the blogs are flourishing.

Although it's nice to have original cover art, a Marion Brown Mosaic Select would be awesome. Perhaps his work with Gunter Hampel (although technically that spans several LPs), or the 1970s Jean Toomer trilogy on Impulse.

Yeah, any of the Dutch Fontana titles would be great, but prying them out of Alan Bates' hands would be mighty difficult I would think. I was pretty sure that Spiritual Infinity was a mass of aborted takes and nothing complete exists. Somebody was going to do the Colbeck a few years ago but I guess it fell through. Fine LP. The Marzette on Savoy is a good idea because a lot of people want to hear it, but it's not exactly earth-shattering music. The Patty Waters track is by far the best.

I didn't need to read that last bit...

If he had a copy of the Ray Stephen Oche on Esperance, I might be a customer.

I'd pass.

Flaherty rules.
