Good to know. Usually if I re-buy something I have on an earlier-issue CD, I go the LP route.

I will also keep an eye out in the shops.

Barry Altschul - Somewhere Else - (Moers) w/ Mark Helias and Ray Anderson

Gwigwi Mrwebi - Mbaqanga Songs - (Honest Jon's reissue)

It's not at all like the BN or Tempo dates... maybe a little out of the "Achmet" bag, but extended into freer territory.

Ah yes, that was originally on Metronome and fetches big $$ for the vinyl... Thanks to everyone for assistance - guess it's just an oddity in the BN catalog!

Looks good. Dutch jazz!!!

Good find ! I don't know about "find" because it wasn't cheap... but the Google search engine beats eBay quite frequently. I think it usually goes for the £70-80 pound mark so yes, not cheap. Oh hang on - the pound has just crashed. So it is cheap ! Got it for WAY less than that considering the usual dollar-pound ratio. So yes, maybe a good "find" after all!

Sonny Rollins - More from the Vanguard - (BN twofer) Got my ticket to see Newk next May in Austin!

I was listening to The Golden Eight, an early Clarke-Boland side recorded in Cologne, and was struck by the question: why is this on Blue Note? The liners detailed the circumstances of the recording, but not the facts behind Lion's choice to release it. Was it licensed from another label? Are other tracks from the session on other CBBB records from the era? Considering that the bulk of their output from the '60s seems to be on Vogue and MPS, this one-off for BN is kind of weird and I guess I'm just now starting to wonder as I get more into their output. Long live Karl Drewo!

Show me a coach that can fill the minds of quite a number of people with knowledge.

Don't have that one - but I'd like to. Entirely different session. Still hoping to hear tapes of the version with Keith Tippett!

Good find ! I don't know about "find" because it wasn't cheap... but the Google search engine beats eBay quite frequently.

John Stevens and Co. - Spontaneous Music Ensemble - (Polydor) Finally got this on vinyl.

He really fucked up that European jazz book and there isn't any excuse for that.

Not "jazz" but I just wanted to post one of these wretched later ESP covers:

Vince Bendetti?

Ornette, Dewey, Haden and Blackwell. You know what you're getting into... Edit to add: the Paris Concert on Trio kills it, but the Haden-Blackwell team, to me, notch this one above the BNs.

I'm waiting for you to post a clean spare of Freddie Redd - Under Paris Skies - (Futura).

lunchtime listening: Ornette - Friends and Neighbors Live at Prince Street - (Flying Dutchman orig)

Speaking of which, what is the ETA on the CD version of Saga of the Outlaws? Have it on LP and it's a fantastic session.

I haven't cracked mine yet - need some time to delve into it. The LPs weren't always the greatest-sounding (pressing, mastering) but they were what was there. FWIW, I never felt that the quality of the vinyl got in the way of the music.

Lee Morgan - Leeway - (BN UA stereo)

Sonny Clark - Blues in the Night - (BN King orig)
