But both Mahler and Neil Young are great.

And of course Academy wouldn't note that it's a repress...

No, that tangent is important and one reason why I'm keeping my early Liberty pressing of the damn thing in the first place.

what on earth is the content? Psycho-billy, iirc.

All I know is that the LP - orig that is - is pretty darn rare. Yipes! (Would love to check it out for Monterose's contributions)

Yeah, that's the deal. Unless they're putting two sides of ONJO covers of OTL on there...

Yeah, just heard about that. And for some time I was thinking of buying one of the "new" crackle-boxes...

Frontal lobotomies all round ! The photo of the back cover was too small for me to read. Who the buggerin' 'ell are those flautists? MG Russell Webster was the nominal leader, I guess. But I'm speechless as the Uncle Funkenstein 45 isn't even valuable...

I mean, judging from the sound samples it's a decent record, but in that ratty condition for THAT MUCH?! Give me a break.

Check the new issue of Signal To Noise for an article I did on Allen and his muse.

I have it on LP and purchased the US Conn version for the second disc of material. I could swear I bought it twice because of the problem you mention, but it was some time ago.

Happy birthday!!!

Batiste goes sky high

Can't wait. Still haven't made it thru all of Devlin' Tune's 36 discs!

I'll be looking forward to being privy to the guitar-flute duets he'll be playing with Prince Lasha in the sky. The only thing about death that's good is the orchestra one will hear before the lights go out.

Is that one on CD? I remember the existence of a bootleg LP but never saw a copy.

Yeah, all I got was what was in the interview at AAJ. I got the feeling that he really liked it over in the UK and that Insight was one of his favorite records. Of course, one of mine too - thankfully it'll be reissued, if I am not mistaken.

That's correct - I believe it's a Fresh Sound pressing from the 1980s. Sounds pretty good too ! (Paid about £3 for it) I think mine was somewhere about that mark when it came out. MG Hah! Just dug mine out. Clifford's right. Mine was issued by EMI-Odeon SA, Madrid, but there's a sticker on it saying "reissued and distributed by Fresh Sound Records". And the label says "Fabricado en Espana by Discos CBS SA". But it's also got a little JASRAC logo on it, which was Japanese, I think. Yeah, that's exactly what mine looks like. Got it for about $8 this weekend. Love me some "Minor Meeting."

OH NO. I hadn't talked to him in about a year and was meaning to call him for a belated birthday wish. He was a friend and we had many great conversations about music, life and spirituality. He would even call up my then-girlfriend (this was about 2005) and wish her well and tell her to keep supporting my writing. What a dear, dear man and a great loss. I'll miss you, Peasant Prince - from "Allen's Alley."

Yeah, I used to have Interplay w/ Hall, Hubbard, etc. on LP but it left some time ago. Remember liking it.

The cover's kinda jacked though, don't you think? I wish that Duke Pearson on Polydor were cleaner - I might bid on it.

Happy Birthday, Sangrey! I'll get the beer next time you make it to Austin...

Lawrence Marable - Tenorman - (Jazz West, reissue) w/ James Clay, Sonny Clark, Jimmy Bond. This is some Spanish EMI reissue from the 1980s.
