me too!
The Swedish crown has drooped 35-40 percent in the last weeks!
It will be awhile till these latest releases make it over the pond....
-
If you only buy one Mosaic this year on Runnin low, because you were unfamilier with the contents beforehand then this should be the one. Essentail.

My RVG jewel box is no longer shiny.

Pa Ubu, as usual with Universal its not so easy to find out what is available in this series, but I can say for sure that the list in your link is incomplete-I have seen Coltrane and Ellington releases in the same series... Now can somebody point us in the direction of a definitive listing?
Spin in Newcstle point out that another Roy Ayers, another Ramsey Lewis, A Jazz Crusaders and Terry Callier releases are around the corner...
-
Yeah Quincy, this is way outside my time frame of interest. But, call me altruistic, I posted it as a public service announcement!
-
Spin records of Newcastle have just announced a sept 30 release date for Rockin the Cradle Egypt .1978 2 cds plus dvd and the usual extra cd for preorders!Nothing on Dead Net that I can see...
-
So Hot Ptah, I suppose that means that the complete El Saturn sessions is unlikely?
-
Wasnt the Shaw Theatre opposite St Pancras station? Or am I confused? used to get free tickets sometimes...
I used to work above the Oasis swimming pool in Holborn, at the Architects department of Camden Council, from1971 onwards.

So, Bubbles was a cheer leader....and Sheena is a drunk docker.

Lennons Imagine (shudder)
Mc Tells Streets of London......

Saw them in 1970 as support to Canned Heat at the Albert Hall just after In rock came out, they were awful! And since the hall was full of fans of American Music, they got roundly booed for ripping off Its a Beautiful Day- Bombay Calling anyone?
And they were not called back for an encore, but Blackmore, having thrown a tantrum, had them do one anyway!
( clue, listen to Sweet Child in Time)

Sidewinder- i think you are misstaken, that would be a very slim Mosaic- but the complete Sadlers Wells edition would be great!
-
I would really like to see those first 2 Clover albums reissued, they were on fantasy and really very good, particularly Forty niner, much better and grittier than the sanitised, cleaned up and dusted down version that made the UK albums. Mc fee was a great steel player!

Kenny, Mac Garry was a real person and a founder of Zig zag, but he upped sticks and left after the first few issues, basically the Zine was Frame and John Tobler form then on up to the punk debacle. But Mac garry then reappeared, those contributions are Frame. This was told to me by John Platt, alas no longer with us, who put out a great zine, Comstock Load. Anther good one was Hot Wacks inspired by the Wackers. ,also thumbs up for Doug Hanners, but I only ever saw 2 issues, I also knew the Dark Star crew, esprcially the great Steve Burgess who could really write! and the amiable Dave Procter.
-
Pete frame ( and his alter ego Mac Garry) were pivotal reads for me in my impressionable years with the fanzine Zig Zag- I was on board from issue 4 or 5, but it really hit its stride when Pete began these family trees, I have fond memories of the one on Stoneground and of course all of the San Fran sound trees. I was at the Zig zag fifth birthday party at the Roundhouse-still have the T shirt somewhere-Mike Nesmith and John Stewart, Kilburn and the High Roads and Chilli Willi and the Red Hot peppers....Anybody remember their true ( imaginary!) history of the band Kalejdoscope? Facts (sic) about the band turned up in many later accounts....the best fanzine... ever.
and Bev, its tack!
-
i didnt think that Coupling my favourite show of the last decade traveled well either.
The Office is really sit com, but sit as in Situationist International, the spectacle as seamless miserablism!
And the Swedish Steptoe was called Herbert and Herbert.
-
On the subject of remakes Bev, Hancocks Half Hour made it to Norway as Flexness, same scripts translated into Norwegan ! And Steptoe and Son turned up in Swedish, again, same Gorton and Simpsson scripts, just cant for the life of me remember the name of the show!
-
Kenny, a couple of other out of towners to remember H.P Lovecraft and Seatrain!
And the Sir Doug box is a must have!

Miller was really dismisive of the whole SF scene, but that didnt stop him relocating and using it to launch his career.
I saw him once at the Rainbow in London where the whole first set was plagued by equipment failure, and then a complete power failure. In the end, increasingly frustrated and close to tears he responded by playing a magnificent solo accoustic set, and then was finally able to bring on his band. I always felt sorry for those waiting in line for the late show, whose entry was delayed by a couple of hours.
But I concur with the rest of you, Miller was an undreacheiver, none of his albums not even Sailor can be counted in the top rank of the SF pantheon . The Joker? give me a break... Give me Mad River, another band that relocated, anyday.
-
I dont currently have the albums, but I will never forget the imprssion the first alnum had on me, when Jeff Dexter played it during the intermission of some concert at the Rainbow, (or perhaps Sundown, Edmonton?). That drum pulse was sublime and mesmerising.
If the albums are again available, I will certainly look them up.

Nutree Quartet tomorrow in Helsingborg.

Jutta Hipp is obvious?
-
Thanks Sonny, just when I thought it was safe to get in the water....and no, no boycot!
By the way, do you happen to know anything about this batch-which remastering?
thanks for any enlightenment....
-
Sonny-where can I see a list of the 1100 yen OJC releases you mention? Cannot recall seeing such a list from our pal Hiroshi-or did I blink?
"The Dead" recommendations.....

Posted · Edited by Tony Pusey
I bought the first album in 67 when I was 14. The dead have been my companions ever since, they have stayed with me wharever I was listening to at the time, BUT caveat emptor, I have always been ultimately dissapointed by anything post Warner Brothers era. So the motherload: Live Dead. The complete Rhino run, long oop is awonder from start to finish. And Live Dead was bracketed by thier best 4 studio albums, 2 before Anthem and Aoxomoxoa, after, Workingmans and American Beauty.
And while I have owned most of the official output at sometime or another, I would be quite happy to go with the Rhino complete Warners, the complete run of the Live Dead material,Ladies and Gentlemen, and the 3 volume box of from the Vault.I will continue to be suckered into buying new stuff, but this is what I will take with me. Always.
The bus came by and I got on.......
