Soul Stream Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Here's a link to an Ebay mint (163 bucks)....does anybody have this album or know anything about it? I'd love to hear it. Does anybody have a song list from the LP??? Sounds like it might be a KILLER record. http://cgi.ebay.com/CHARLIE-EARLAND-TRIO-S...7QQcmdZViewItem Quote
marcello Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) After a little Google: Earland's first solo album was the 1969 Soul Crib on Choice Records, which never has been on CD. From Stereo Jack on another post: Just looked this up in Raben's "Jazz Records". Earland had two LP's on Choice, both recorded c. 1969. All of the second one "Soul Crib" was reissued on Muse, but apparently this one was not reissued. From Funky 16 Corners The same goes for the LP and 45 that Earland recorded for Choice (also a Newark, NJ label). The LP was recorded at Van Gelders, and though it features Earland’s partner Jimmy Ponder on guitar, it also features Walter Perkins (out of Chicago) on drums, and George Coleman on tenor sax . Coleman had played with Perkins in the MJT+3 and had briefly replaced John Coltrane in the Miles Davis Quintet. It seems unlikely Earland would have had access to players like this had he not already been recording for Blue Note. The ‘Soul Crib’ LP leans more toward the jazz side of things, featuring no fewer than five standards, one swinging original ‘The Dozens’ (one side of the Choice 45 with ‘Strangers in the Night’ on the flip), and a bizarre free/out improv piece called ‘Mus’ Be LSD’ that seems completely out of place.

Jim Alfredson Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I wouldn't pay $163 for it. I'm sure it's "out there", if you know what I mean. Quote
Soul Stream Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Posted March 10, 2008 Damn...thanks ya'll. Does anybody have the 45 on Greezie Records(?) of Charlie Earland Midnight Hour backed with Rescue Me? Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 There's some discussion of Earland's two LPs for Choice here http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=30487 Jim, I put a discography of Earland up in a thread nearly two years ago, but I can't find it now. Any ideas what's happened to it? MG Quote
Swinging Swede Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 The thread is still there, but the attachments aren't. I think older attachments were lost in a board upgrade. I noticed this when I took a look at a thread with homemade album covers. I wonder if the files still exist on the server, but the links just are outdated. In that case it might be possible to restore them. Quote
