Both are excellent. If you're a fan of this music, I don't think you'd want to be without them. The retailer millionsofrecords.com has both for 5.99 and 4.99 respectively. 

Thank you for bringing attention to these Bley records. I followed your lead and purchased both from millionsofrecords. Their packaging is excellent, and media mail didn't take as long as I thought it would. :tup

And the playing ... is fantastic. "St. Thomas" never sounded like that.

The guy who runs millionsofrecords used to run ebreggae, who had a good jazz selection.  He always did a good job in keeping cd and shipping prices low, packing well, and shipping promptly.

The Dutch Fontana Blood?

 

Yes, though both LPs called Blood were released on Fontana; technically one is called In Haarlem - Blood. That one has two long tracks and has been reissued extensively and cheaply on Arista-Freedom on both CD and LP. The other one with 10 shorter tracks (which the new ezz-thetics CD draws from) is much, much harder to come by.

:tup Gotcha. So, this one:

Weird that it hasn't seen a reissue since 1990. At least the new ezz-thetics disc will have some of the tracks. Still, I agree, it would have been nice to see the whole album see a reissue.

In Haarlem -- Blood was issued on International Polydor, while Blood was released on Fontana. Both were produced by Alan Bates.
