Don Heckman & Ed Summerlin - Improvisational Jazz Workshop - (Ictus) 2nd issue, without the book and not silkscreened.

The dust blows forward and the dust blows back...

Wayne Shorter - The All-Seeing Eye - (BN Liberty stereo)

Another one goes the distance... Hank Mobley

Glad I'm not the only one who disagreed (if in my own head, privately) with the Lexington statement. I believe this is one of the more expensive copies of it I've seen, though.

Jemeel Moondoc & Muntu - First Feeding - (Muntu)

Ornette paid his dues in rock and roll and "walked the bar" for the people. I think he believes that his music is not so erudite as to be appreciable by a vast number of people.

William Hooker - ...is Eternal Life - (Reality Unit Concepts)

Mis-grading on used items. Like the "Sealed" that was open and VG, with heavy ring wear!

I've got "The Magic City" in this series, it's a Scorpio product. In fact once I finished checking most of the new vinyl I've bought in the last three years ( about 20 titles) are Scorpios, none sound great. All are passable IMO but then again I've got nothing to compare to. Scorpio resissues seem to cover Blue Note, Prestige, Time, Saturn, Inner City, Vortex , quite a range, no idea if they're all mastered from DAT but I'm avoiding them now. How is Scorpio getting the rights to these? BN excepted, I assumed these were boots or dubious licenses.

I could use that, too.

I quit ordering LPs from them a while back because of so many problems.

Petra seems like the most interesting one - a cellist. There's also Josh Haden, who was in a band called Spain that I didn't like too well. Rachel was in that dog. with one of the Weezer assholes. I'm sure they're all nice kids, though. Right?

The Vaselines - The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History - (Sub Pop) Used to have it on cassette when it was issued (posthumously) in 1992, glad to have it again for sure... apparently there was an LP version on the German licensing label Glitterhouse, but I've never seen that one. Chris Corsano - The Young Cricketer - (Family Vineyard LP)

US buyer on that one.

Yes, and cheaply as I recall. HG, buy it!

Uncle Jim's Band, I think.

Sunny Murray - Sunshine - (BYG Actuel orig)

Somehow it's hard for me to imagine this being anywhere as interesting as the Garrick/Winstone collaborations. But that's just me...

"Fuck that" says the agoraphobe in me...

Yeah, it is scarce. Well worth the hunt, though - excellent record. Wright certainly had his demons, as did many people.

Ah, at Love Garden in Lawrence, KS?

Sunny Murray - Quintet - (ESP orig)

Yes, the America is very good. There was also another America under Noah Howard's name that was mostly recorded at the same session. All the compositions on Uhuru Na Umoja are, in fact, Howard's. I think the defining statement from that band was the Calumet LP, Church Number Nine, which has been reissued on CD. One of those recs that I was glad I got at a decent price before eBay madness really took over...

I think my third BN LP was Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard. A dark-blue label, steppin' up from the DMMs that were the first two!
