I had an ECM LP where the lamination was peeling, I removed it and I think that was a mistake as it left a cover with adhesive still there. Have you got a plastic sleeve you can place the LP in, with the remaining laminate still present?

Great album 

Ah I probably leave it on than. The sight of it annoys me a little bit….

that's not too bad. I'd let the lamination be. If it was coming off in sheets I'd finish the job.

Incredible LP, too. Got mine maybe 25 years ago now, and the labels are solid red with black print. The sleeve has a flipback construction. I think the red label is "first" but they pressed so few of them I'd imagine the design switched mid-run.

yeah mine has the same sleeve but different labels. There were indeed two versions on Calumet. The Japanese pressing was first according to Discogs. That one seems to be even rarer. It was hard enough to track down this French first pressing.

[clifford_thornton]

The Japanese is definitely not first. Discogs is wrong. If anything they were roughly simultaneous. Producer Pierre Berjot (Musidisc-America-Carson-Calumet) licensed Church Number Nine and the AEC's Chi-Congo to Odeon in the early 70s. The French original of Chi-Congo was on Decca, though that seems to have been a Berjot deal as well.

The mystery is the additional track on the Japanese pressing. My guess is Toshiba-EMI felt they could include more music and keep the pressing integrity, and ran off the entire session tape onto disc, whereas Berjot lopped off about ten minutes for the French market.

This is great and those records together with Jackie McLeans´s "One Stop Beyond" and "Destination Out" are very similar. Same lineup  alto, vibes, trombone.....

With Byard Lancaster, Dave Burrell. It’s a lovely record. Burrells piano is very much out of tune but with these kind of records it has its charm I must say.

Roscoe Mitchell and Anthony Braxton - Duets

Washing up after a particularly heavy lunch party. The Roscoe side of this one is particularly strong.

It’s a ‘70’s repress that sounds amazing

Still pretty hard to get, no doubt. I wasn't even aware that it was repressed.

Seems like a record that is overdue another reissue.

Not ultra rare but definitely not the most easy to find. It’s this one:
