Medjuck, there is a planned release for this eventually together with a second set,see Jazzmatazz-but do not hold your breath waiting. Otherwise, good thread, lots of erudition on show, thanks one and all!

Unlike Ed, I am missing a couple of the Blue Notes, so I would buy it.

Ubu, you are a Sadist!

Perhaps I am in a minority here, but I would like McLeans Demons Dance out on a domestic RVG, I mean if they put out Morgans Sixth Sense ,why not?

I envy you GA, seeing them in their pomp. A close friend on a rare trip to the States in the early 70`s, pre rehab, bought an already inebriated Dan a drink at a club where he was appearing and got them both thrown out!

Now the Grateful Dead thread has shown that we are all (?) pretty broad minded, so I think I will test the water with this one. What do you think about Dan? I LOVE him and recently picked uo the cd/dvd of his 60 birthday concert cum celebration. Pretty much great all the way through but to see David Laflamme and the awesome Sid Page sparring together on I Scare Myself...well words,you know, fail me...

Good list, I am particularly happy about Night Dreamer, I have all of them in good editions except this one.

Yes,Wembley,the Lyceum and Bickershaw...Funny, I thought I recognised you Quincy, must have been your big brother!

Yes, Quincy, Ladies and Genlmen is supurb.Sometimes I think that the Arista released archive shows are better than the Dicks Pick series, check out Steppin Out. (and not only cos I was there! )

I also have the feeling he backed Jesse Colin Young post Youngbloods, but I could be wrong, would´nt be the first time...

Hey, C´mon Catesta you are supposed to be having a beer with me! Short attention span huh?

Share a pint with me Catesta to celebrate my new status as Groover! Get it down your neck

Good suggestions ,and since Brownie mentioned his name, anybody hep to Shearing and Dakota Staton-In The Night? Sublime

I´m saving my hard earned already!

Saw him play with Boz at Hampsteads Town and Country club at the time of Boz and Band. Have a sneaking suspicion he played with more of these S:F horn bands around that time, you know, bands like Shades of Joy(Yeah I know they were from Texas).Cannot remember which ones though...

Don`t know why I missed this thread till today-The Dead were THE band for me when I was a sprog.Loved it all through 72, and then became,very gradually,dissillusioned as I felt a looooong decline set in.My favourite albums were Anthem ,Aoxomoxoa and naturally Live Dead. The reason I bought a cd player was the fact that From the Vault 2 was not released on vinyl, same day I bought my first Charles Gayle and David S Ware albums.Go figure. Anyway I still pickup all the archive albums from my fave period, much to my partners irritation,she does not understand why I must have yet another version of Lovelight! (Same problem with Thelonius Monk!) Plug for the Rockin the Rhein, fantastic presence on Dark Star!

98? 99? or cue- sound of trumpets blareing-100?

Off topic-a little bit- I am playing Move by Hank Garland, 2 cd set on the fine Euphoria label-very nice-anybody else hip to this?

Still waiting for the Farlow, but I like the Johnny Smith, too much make weight on the Pass which I enjoy when I dip in to it.

Seems there is some good stuff yet to see the light of day on cd. Several of you mention Airto,the recent batch included` Free´. Should I buy or steer clear?

Me too, Bob Brookmeyer select. I am playing this more and more, fast becoming one of my top 2 selects!( With Bud Shank in case you are interested!)

.....and still waiting...why oh why did I choose the surface mail option? But thanks for the heads up on the Blue Note 10 inch cd, I had forgotten all about that, and it is a compensation, helping me get through the wettest summer in Swedish memory.

Hiroshi can get the Japanese remastered Candids. About a dozen I think in total, unfortunately Freedom Now was withdrawn from the program. I have been very happy with those that I bought.

Uh Oh, what have I gotten myself into...bought both the Lateef and the Uppchurch/Tennyson albums, the Lateef is dreary disco funk and track 2 of the Uppchurch is Ave Maria (!) without a hint of irony and sans tongue in cheek! Unspeakable. Till now I have been largely happy with this series, though it has its share of clunkers- the Grant Green was awful and I steered clear of some others, but it seems that too many of these issues are from the Soul subsidiary Kudu repackaged under the parent CTI label. I for one am going to be mighty careful in future! Is this the best they can dig up? -

Yes, you should probably become a Dead Head. And the Golden Road has just about everything you need. And when you have digested that you can begin on the various live sets from this time period, and then..... (P.S. Rocking the Rhein, 1972, recently released has an awesome Dark Star)
