Head Man Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I've just seen that Downtown Music Gallery DMG has three of the early Air recordings available as 'self-released CD-Rs'. The three are: '80 degrees below '82' which came out on the Antilles label in 1982 'Air Raid' which I have on a 'Whynot' Lp from 1976 'Air Song' which I have on an 'India Navigation' LP from 1982 Now this is serious music, so if you don't have vinyl copies already, get an order in quickly!

JSngry Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I have Air Raid on "legit" Japanese CD. Air Song has been released on CD by the same label. Who's doing this "self-releasing" - Threadgill or DMG? Agreed, great music. Carpe diem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Man Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I have Air Raid on "legit" Japanese CD. Air Song has been released on CD by the same label. Who's doing this "self-releasing" - Threadgill or DMG? Agreed, great music. Carpe diem! The CDs are marked as being re-released by Henry Threadgill, so I think we can assume they are legit. BTW what label were 'Air Raid' & 'Air Song' released on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) Glad to hear that they're legit! The LPs were on Japanese Why Not/Trio (maybe Chuck can sort out the specifics as to which was what?). India Navigation leased Air Song for American release, and that's where I have it. Both were released on CD on Japanese P.J.L.The Antilles session was totally theirs, I believe. All are excellent, to put it mildly.

shrugs Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 there's a tune on 80 Degrees Below '82 that is worth the trip alone. I forget the name but I am pretty sure Threadgill plays tenor on it. It's a blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I have lots of Air vinyl. - Air Time - Open Air Suit - Montreux Suisse - Air Lore - 80° Below '82 Haven't listened in a while. Maybe it's time to pull those guys out and give them a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akanalog Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 there is also a live threadgill disc. i was at DMG yesterday. the threadgills look just like the uh, not as legit LP burn discs that they sell but i guess they are legit. wasn't sure which one to check out. isn't whynot or whatever it is called still around and putting stuff out. there are a few discs on that label i would like to check out. so this thread isn't really helping narrow it down to which air disc would be the best to check out. i guess they are all good.

Eloe Omoe Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 The LPs were on Japanese Why Not/Trio (maybe Chuck can sort out the specifics as to which was what?). India Navigation leased Air Song for American release, Air Raid too was out on India Navigation. I have that. luca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Although I have the vinyl, this has to be good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
