Wolfgang Dauner "Rischka's Light Faces"

[mikeweil]

Mr. Rischka was a guy from Stuttgart, like Dauner - you're probably right. "The Oimels" and "Knirsch" were all over the place, buit not those Rischka LPs.

I think we misunderstood each other. What I meant to say was that I realize those Rischka LPs were very rare but your statement in your post of 3 May that European jazz LPs had such small pressing runs (which no doubt basically was true but cannot be generalized IMO, at least not in the case of German 70s jazz) cannot have been that true in the case of Dauner's OTHER 70s Eurojazz LPs. Because, like I said, "Knirsch" und "Oimels" (and probably others) were all over the place wherever you looked in the German record shop jazz sections throughout the second half of the 70s (and beyond). Same for other German jazz releases from that period (and I am NOT talking about Doldinger's Passport, of course ). (I know - I VERY often checked out the entire "German jazz" bins in search of specific Telefunken a.o. reissues in those years but to no avail - only found them secondhand much later - and therefore remember having to flip through countless 70s German free/fusion etc. jazz releases in those bins ).
