Excellent - I have it on a Dutch CBS LP (rather ratty, need to upgrade).

Yeah, the Dutch CBS comes in twice as much £££ so a bit of GDR chic suited me fine. It's a fine date, one of those where evrything played just seems in the right place at the right time

"Tension" is an excellent date..so is "now jazz ramwong"...both were recently expertly reissued by German CBS in tri-fold sleeve replicas of their original issues...I bought these to upgrade my 80s L&R German reissues and they sound and look fantastic. I also recommend "folk, mond and flower dream" as well as his early albums on MPS like "birds of underground" and "never let it end"...top notch stuff!

Sonny Fortune - Long Before Our Mothers Cried - (Strata-East)

Nice one

yeah, finally picked it up recently for fairly cheap. It's far more compelling than I'd expected, excellent date.

Yeah this one seems to be plentiful in terms of strata east titles...don't think I spent more then $35 on my mint copy. Wish all strata east titles were more in this price ballpark!!

[clifford_thornton]

^ totally. I'd check out a lot more of the obscure S-E titles if they weren't $200+. The Mtume Umoja is definitely worth spending ducats on - it's a wonderful album.

Folk Mond is a nice record. Got the original German CBS for cheap years ago, and in good nick.

So many cheap Amiga LPs on Discogs that I want but they're always from the Czech Republic-- exorbitant shipping and convoluted payment requirements. Such a shame.

I think mine (near mint) was about 15 Euros

Over the years I've had 3(!) nice copies of that Mtume 2lp and could never get into it for some reason. Flipped all 3 of them but kept a recording of it. I actually enjoy "rebirth cycle" more...but then again it's been about 6 years since I last heard the double...

Clarke/Boland 'The Golden 8' (BN NY USA, mono)

Has these ever been released on CD?

[colinmce]

In Japan, but not in any domestic reissue programs.

[clifford_thornton]

I have a Japanese Toshiba LP pressing of The Golden Eight. Excellent album. Need to dig it out again. (been a while since I was on a CBBB kick, though when it's a kick, it's heavy...)

Yes, it came out on Toshiba (I have it somewhere upstairs). Don't think that King ever did that one. Schema/Rearward have done the 'companion' album to that - must get hold of it !

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, the Schema disc is on the wants list (tho I gotta make room here in the Brooklyn hovel!)

Music and Song of Italy (Tradition). Alan Lomax recordings from 1954. Practically everything Lomax recorded is worth hearing. The music from his Italian trip is raw, varied, and moving. I wouldn't recognize much of it as Italian if I heard it "sight unseen."

This again. I was just typing the phrase "Practically everything Lomax recorded is worth hearing" when I saw that I had already said that back in December.

[B. Clugston]

George Russell Sextet in K.C. (Decca). Actually they are in New York. Nice session with Dave Baker, Don Ellis and Dave Young.

Krystall Klear and the Buells, Ready for the 90's. Marty Krystall and Buell Neidlinger with Warren Gale and Billy Higgins. Excellent date. Includes a stray track with Cecil Taylor from the 60s.
