clifford_thornton Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I emailed Ben to see if I could reserve one about a week ago and haven't heard back. Hope I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks for the heads up about this LP. It is spendy, but I imagine it will hold its value and then some in the coming years. It would also be nice to see a CD box of those 10 hours of tapes to which they refer on the site. It would be a nice complement to the great 2 T's set.

Chalupa Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm almost tempted to buy multiple copies of this. Probably a better investment than the stock market right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djcavanagh Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 It is available on ebay here (3 copies left - 12 have already gone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I have plenty of Cecil on my shelves that I haven't yet gotten to know well, so I don't need a vanity/collector's item. I hope that those who go for the set will be moved by it, and that Mr. Taylor and Mr. Oxley see a good financial return from the project.

Hoppy T. Frog Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have plenty of Cecil on my shelves that I haven't yet gotten to know well, so I don't need a vanity/collector's item. I hope that those who go for the set will be moved by it, and that Mr. Taylor and Mr. Oxley see a good financial return from the project. That's pretty much how I feel, too. Gotta dig into the 1988 box set I got last year on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdgoodkind@yahoo.com Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Anybody have any status update on this? I purchased this on April 2. The eBay listing states, "Your commitment to Buy It Now and payment via Paypal entitles you to the following: 1. Your order is guaranteed and will be shipped as soon as the project is ready. 2. You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your purchase, with the latest projection (an estimate) on delivery date, and including the number of your copy/ies." I paid via PayPa, but I did not receive an e-mail confirmation of the purchase. These sorts of things have delays, so patience is advisable. But I still have not received the set nor any communications. I have e-mailed the seller twice in the last week, but he has not responded. Has anyone received their set? Does anyone know this seller? His feedback seems good, but it stops months ago, and apparently he does not communicate anymore. Thanks.

Chalupa Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hmm.. that's weird. I would send an email to the Cecil Taylor list serve. It might take a couple of days to get an answer but you will definitely get one. http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/CTResearch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdgoodkind@yahoo.com Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Ben Young isn't the fastest cat on the planet, but you'll get it. Just be patient. I have one on order as well. Thanks, J.H. Deeley, for the suggestion. This post puts my mind at rest. After a moment's concern, I will continue to wait patiently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.L.M Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Ther's a festival of free music at the end of this month/beginnig of the next in Antwerpen (Belgium) One complete day is devoted to CECIL TAYLOR. It starts with the projection of two films ans ended withe a concert in duet with TONY OXLEY. What is more surprising it's that the Festival (named: FOLLOW THE SOUND - 30 september to 4 of October) annonced a special sell of AILANTHUS/ALTISSIMA for the occasion!!!!

djcavanagh Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I emailed Ben last week (independently of the thread - I've only just stumbled across it) and was told that there had been some production delays and that the earliest it will ship is early October (which can't be a surprise at this stage).

clifford_thornton Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Seems like some bad luck has gummed up the works: Faithful buyers and buyers-to-be, Here’s an October 2009 update on the Cecil Taylor–Tony Oxley AILANTHUS / ALTISSIMA LP that you’ve heard about for many months. The project has suffered from misplacing faith in some poor manufacturers unable to deliver clean-sounding vinyl surfaces. Having had to scrap an entire pressing run since the last update, we’ve changed the vendor once again—hopefully for the last time. I believe this will be the solution to the quality issue, but there will be a certain amount of further wait time involved—probably until the beginning of 2010 or close to that. (having erroneously predicted success so many times, I’m very hesitant to make any more delivery projections until the perfected, finished goods are in hand.) I know this is not good news for any of us, and I apologize for having to learn these lessons on your time. To clarify, your purchased records have not been lost in the mail; none have yet been sent. You can have confidence that this release WILL happen; the company is not going anywhere, and no one has run off with your pre-paid funds. The records will be sent as soon as they are ready, and those of you who have pre-paid will of course be the first in line. Your purchases are guaranteed and will be honored as early as possible. If you’ve lost faith in the effort and would like a refund, just tell me and we’ll undo the payments from before. For those of you waiting to make your orders, there will be a notice sent to you and on triplepointrecords.com announcing that they’re at last available for shipping. Some of you may have gotten word that a few examples of the record were on sale at the recent EU engagements of CT and TO: It was thought that this was the corrected disc that could now be shipping to everyone. In fact, it is yet another flawed example that will have to be replaced. So again, apologies for that false hope. Thank you as always for your patience with these tribulations. Sincerely, Ben Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutrotfrenzy Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think the question remains, how on earth do you make an LP that is sold for 110$? That's what I would like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
