No disagreement from me. Stan was "The Man" on many occasions, even if the album of that title isn't one of my favorites of his.

I'm curious for your report, Rod. I've never owned the Dream House 77'17" LP - it goes for more dough than it probably should, considering it's one of the most common Shandar vinyls!

As in, "son, you have no idea..."

Don't have much to add here. I have and enjoy all of the Realm titles mentioned, save the Turn Circle. Realm also issued the Archie Shepp/Bill Dixon split LP that was originally issued on Savoy and later also on BYG and Supraphon. Also in this Columbia reissue series was Howard Riley's third as a leader, The Day Will Come, which is an excellent album. I have a number of orange-label CBS jazz records, including those of German and French origin. Some fantastic modern and avant-garde jazz titles under that moniker!

I like those sessions, too.

Nice choice. Now: Boys' Life - s/t - (Crank! orig, silkscreened jacket)

Now: Flowchart - Tenjira - (Darla)

White Magic - Dark Stars - (Drag City)

I have long been fascinated/repulsed by that alternate jacket. Not enough to buy a second copy, though!

That's probably about the right price for most Musica titles. I would like to hear this one, too!

Marion Brown - Why Not? - (ESP-Disk orig, with photos by our own Guy Kopelowicz!) with Rashied Ali, Stanley Cowell and Sirone.

Robert Wood - Tarot - (Edici) Wood is an obscure vibraphonist who also recorded with Alan Silva. He's joined here by Steve Potts, Kent Carter and on drums, Ron Pittner. Pretty cool little record.

Both are from paintings by Kenneth Noland, so you can't be faulted too hard.

I was gonna say that too!

Maybe both, at this rate.

How long is this sale going on? I'd like to buy all four volumes in December, once I have some bread to throw around with my big breasts (sshh, don't tell anyone)...

It's insane that it was on CBS in the first place...

It just smells funny.

My parents are cooking one, ironically.

Awesome!

Embrace - s/t - (Dischord) Been awhile since I gave this'n a spin...

Congrats.

Marion Brown - Afternoon of a Georgia Faun - (ECM German orig)

Cool. Thanks for posting these.

Though I haven't spun his recent recordings, I can say that LIVE he is on excellent form these days. If Zaki is anything like Clarity or the Black Saint and IAI collaborations (w/ Michael Gregory), it's safe to assume it's very good.
