Ubu, that is the one, and the lineup listed appears complete. First disc is way better, IMO, and I think the ramshackle vibe that the BNs had by the '70s is pretty much intact here - not so much Afro-American, though the Rev is in full effect.

I've noticed that on various records - both my Fontana UK Ted Curson records have some distortion like this, and I've even run into a few mono BNs with this problem. I thought it might be limited to mono records, but that seems unlikely.

Thanks for posting those. Very nice! Just got a boot of the Blue Notes from 79 with Frank Wright sitting in - pretty ramshackle but also quite heavy, as you might imagine.

Thankfully this folk-rock obscurity has been reissued... Virgin Insanity LP

Did he give you any prices? I wouldn't mind getting a few of those, especially the "Reise" LP. The Call is on Japo, 60.001, and is very rare.

I've always thought the older versions with paste-on jackets were better-sounding, but for sure I'd rather have blue-labels at the least. New Jazz pressings, on the other hand, are better left to OJCs, Japanese and CDs!

No, emphatically, no. That's crazy. I haven't looked at the book in some time, but I remember being surprised about a number of things. Now, very little surprises me in record pricing.

I've got quite a few live recordings that haven't been commercially issued - but then again, I'm not sure many of them (even though clean) would make much sense to issue in terms of selling well. I mean, really, how many people would buy Manfred Schoof Sextet gigs from the early '70s? Artistic merit is another question entirely... a lot of the grey market would be issued on that alone if it were possible.

I'm not shitting you with this one, either. You know the record... McCoy Tyner "Time for Tyner" Blue Note, 1968, 33t, occasion Pressage original US Etat du disque : M, état de la pochette : VG+ 70.00 euros [84.00 US$, 9,450.00 ¥] > informations complémentaires (pochette) | ajouter à mon panier | voir mon panier | From the PJC site...

I still think PJC record prices are insane, but you're right, sometimes it's what the market does... I have a couple of French Fontanas, one is a gatefold pressing of the Dolphy "Conversations" record, retitled "Leonard Feather Presents the Eric Dolphy Memorial Album." It looks kinda neat.

Paris Jazz Corner put out one for jazz records a few years ago, but it was based on stratospheric margins - like $100 for FMPs.

Oops, didn't see how old this conversation was... never mind!

So that'll be "Mister Nessa" from now on, right? I'd like to get that Gar. Oct. Wom. rec. - it lks. gd.

And Amanda Parsons could contribute backing vocals!

Spedding... only if Pip Pyle was somehow part of the deal!

Right, for me it's Search For the New Land... I'm paring down my BNs to the ones I really *need;* my collection is weighted to the upper end of the 4000 series and now I think should be more 1500 series. I think that's the stuff I listen to the most - which should seem ironic to anyone who knows my usual "Funny Rat" tastes.

A.T, Baby Dodds and then a host of 'free-time' cats on my short list. Not Blakey, though I do *like* him on several records. Mind you, "Roll Call," "Somethin' Else," "Minor Move" et al aren't going anywhere!

Ah, too late, one Blakey left and zero Smith, but I think I have about nine Lee Morgan records sitting on the shelves depreciating as we speak...

I only have "Have You Heard?" but I like it A LOT.

Damn, Sidey, no wonder I'm freaking you out...

That's exactly why I didn't keep any of my Messengers records and why I'm thinking of getting rid of a lot of their ilk, too... Funny, I wouldn't think of dumping Tina Brooks but it's easy for me to let go of Blakey and Jimmy Smith and Lee Morgan. And no, I didn't sell my daughter - I don't even have a kid to give away!

Brotzmann/Bennink "Schwarzwaldfahrt" (FMP) Wrong, just wrong!

A Jazz Message (Impulse), quartet with Stitt, Tyner and Art Davis. That's the only one I own as leader, and I like it very much. I sold my Messengers records (gasp!)...

I remember that dude - but couldn't remember the name of that show. The things Organissimo dredges up!
