RIP. I don't own those Frame LPs but the incentive is rekindled.

Even if I come up "Stimpy," I feel much more like Mr. Horse.

Wow. Say it ain't so!

How could I forget??

Yes, I was just attempting to make a point.

No sir, I don't think I'd like that. Not one bit.

More often than not, they don't...

If something oop was downloaded by the theoretical me (I don't download), I suspect I'd probably buy it legitimately if it ever were to be reissued. I try to give back as much as I can in print - writing "reissue this" columns, for example - on the used LPs that I've bought that artists aren't paid for, or find some other way to compensate them if they are still with us.

Olu Dara --> Nasir (Nas) Dara

They reissued on LP at least three titles from the Sun label in France (technically one of which was also an Altsax): Noah Howard - Patterns Noah Howard - In Europe, vol. 1 Alan Silva - The Shout/Portrait from a Small Woman

I think the fiancee was right - jackass probably did deserve it.

George Russell - Ezz-Thetics - (Riverside orig mono) Dolphy, Ellis, Baker, Swallow, Hunt

Someone unloaded 5 Erimite titles at a local Half Price books once. I bought them all for $6 bucks a pop, along with snagging a William Parker Erimite in the $1 bin. Not to mention that there was also Brotzmann Okka (Stonewater) there later on for $6 sealed. Of course, I bought that one too. When I compare those prices at Half Price to the BN's and Columbia's they carry, it turns out that used copies of those are also about $6. I have no problem buying used CDs if they are out of print or otherwise horribly hard-to-obtain. That said, in the age of the internet and small labels that could use a dime, Chuck's point should be taken. Doesn't take long to figure why Eremite may not have put out a new release in some time: $$$ ...

I learned that the Dutch pianist Cees Slinger died Sept. 29 at age 77. Great player who worked with Clifford Jordan, Dexter Gordon, and many visiting American jazzmen in Holland throughout the '60s, '70s, and '80s. He will be missed!

Still, single Okka and Eremite discs are around $20 - not expensive at all! Where the heck are you buying 'em? Or are you getting them for free? Okka and I sell their discs for $13 and a check of the Eremite site seems they are well below $20. Some for free, some bought, so you are right, my law of averages is kinda skewed!

Good to know! Just got a big stack of LPs so I *should* hold off on buying any music for a couple of weeks at least!

I ordered mine the day this thread was started. It's annoying, but I will live!

Andrew Hill - Grass Roots - (BN Liberty/UA pressing) Haven't spun this in some time, but it is one of my favorite Hill BN's for sure.

It is shorthand for "Esperanto." The initial ESP-Disk' release was Ni Kantu en Esperanto, ESP 1001 (1963), a sing/speak-along record of Esperanto, the "universal" language. Bernard Stollman, the label's founder, is still an avid Esperantist.

Still, single Okka and Eremite discs are around $20 - not expensive at all!

I'm with brownie. I think I might've paid $30 for one disc once, but can't remember for the life of me what it was!

Since Tchicai doesn't play alto anymore - much - I wonder if that led to Zorn's occasional inclusion in the group.

I thought there was a UK pressing in the FJL/SFJL 900 series with that title, but I could be wrong.

Does anyone know if the original disc in question on this thread is still in print? I spaced out and haven't got to it yet.

I haven't seen anything... yet. Got my notice just now...
