webbcity Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Not an ESP - Lasha had the tapes. Just an aside. Gotcha...I have a copy of that one so I don't have an LP to look at. I always assumed it was a very limited self-released pressing of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HW! Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 More info here: http://www.sonnysimmons.org/disco1.htm#2. Basically a demo tape cut by jazz enthusiast Fred Lyman to help out Lasha and Simmons upon their arrival in NYC - a mere hundred copies in a cardboard cover to hand out to radios, producers, promoters... Quickly withdrawn by order of Contemporary records who didn't want a companion record to "The Cry!" in the way. Its legit reissue was discussed by Prince Lasha before he sadly passed away. Fred Lyman did help musicians at the times - he's said to have recorded Ornette and Ayler during Ornette's infamous withdraw from the scene ca. 1963, and Cecil Taylor too... Unheard stuff. Might have sold it to big-time record collectors in the 1980s. Maybe veterans on this forum have more insights about this character and his material. Sweet dreams!
