....or even the Lyons box set on Ayler records if you are feeling flush! B)

Jimmy Giuffre, disk 2.

What do the EMI folks have of Hall that could be whipped into shape for a select? But a Hall select is a pleasing proposition...

The complete Miles in Stockholm on the Dragon label is absolutely up there with the very best Miles live albums. It is one of my most played Miles albums period. and in my opinion it is instructive to listen to the differences between Miles playing with Coltrane and Stitt. I have heard the Parisian recordings which are also very good but I think this one has the edge on it.

I have the Select, but am going to buy this, I am shaping up to be a Water completist!

This is the next one on my list, thanks for whetting my appetite!

Couw, thanks. Kevin, me too !

Forgive my ignorance, but can somebody tell me about the Coltrane disc Selflessnes? I can find no reference to this release in the (sort of) Complete Impulse sesions of the Classic Quartet, is it a later session?

And now I see that there is a special limited edition version of the box with an extra Cd. Don´t you just hate it when they do that!

Please fellas, let me forget that I have just made an arsehole of myself. I thought in my naivity that postings were numbered consequentialy and stayed numbered, and did not realise that number of postings were automatically updated on all posts. I now realise my mistake thanks to your pedagogically acute observations and now wish to get back on with my life! Many thanks to all who have helped me realise tha error of my ways and who have contributed to my drastically reduced self esteem!

If you have difficulty in finding Silkheart releases, I know that Ayler records distribute them now here in Sweden, and everything on cd seems to be in print. And do not forget to check out Ayler releases while you are at it.

Abject apologies to all.(53?)

Oooops, now it went up to 51 after being stuck!

Wht has my number of postings got stuck at 50?

WOOF!

I like this label a lot and recommend The David Wares, the Brackeens, the Gayles...and there is much more as other posters have already noted

Chalupa, I was there for that Dark Star It was the best Dark Star I ever saw.

The german issues are shabby, the cardboard box flimsy and the booklet unreadable.

I take your point Jazzbo. I recentlly played the ladies and gentlemen-the Grateful Dead live at theFillmore East 1971 set released on Arista shortly after Hart left the band and Billy is magnificent. I do not like planet drum et al but do hold in enormous regard the`Rolling Thunder album, possibly because so many of my other faves of the time were on it, Melton, Cippolina and so on. And I guess Hart was such an integral part of Anthem , Aoxomoxoa and Live Dead, to this day my favourite Dead period. Anyway alone together they participated in some pretty amazing music!

Well Jazzbo, I have just returned from Helsingborg where I picked up the latest Blue Notes, and I could not let the Garcia box stay in the shop! Deal. I guess theres a whole lotta head shakin gonna go on tonight, but for old times sake...And, yes Bill the drummer is great too, but together with Hart, phew... Alligator!

Ummm, where to start? I loved the Dead,bought their first album in 67 and saw them several times in England during the famed 72 tour and they were magnificent! In my opinion however, that was the begining of the end and the decline took a loooong time. I saw them later at the Ally Pally and they were merely a shadow of what they had once been... But I still buy all the Dicks picks up till 73/74 and even today played Aoxomoxoa . I hated Donnas voice and believe me you do not want to go near their album on Round it is dreadfull. (Do however do what ever you can to pick up the Diga Rhythm Band) Yeah, Bob Wiers Ace is an O.K. record, but for me the best of the offshoots has to be Harts Rolling Thunder. Now ,back on topic, I am really curious about this box set, The first Garcia solo was great and intriguing, the second,frankly, awful, the third, pretty and by the time Cats came out I had shaken my head and walked away...But what about the unreleased stuff? Do I need this box or do I wait till Rhino puts them out as individual releases? I think this is my dilemma of the year.

Thanks Vincent, really fantastic site, a goldmine.

Of all these unreleased Booker sessions I want Book Fever most! Bring it on Michael...

Cavetano, thanks for posting the link and the list. But me and Pa Ubu still want to know are they jewel cases or digis!

Yes, shame about Back to the gig, I would, for purely selfish reasons, i. e I have the Tocj ,do without Easterley Winds if a swap was feasible at this late stage, otherwise a reasonable selection.
