Jimmy Lyons - Other Afternoons First CD Issue

[T.D.]

The Lyons (repressing?) and a bunch of the "2nd batch" just arrived.

Listening to Joachim Kühn's Sounds of Feelings, which is a very good album, I had to chuckle at the Morricone quote in the tune El Dorado. 😆

Yep. That Kühn is excellent.

Dusty Groove shows the Lyons in stock. Don't know how many copies they have.

I think the Lyons might have been re-pressed in both reissue "batches". Cdjapan had a 1400 yen release in the first batch for quite a while. By the time I got around to ordering that was gone, but the album then reappeared as a 2000 yen release with the second batch and I included it in my order.

Oh, that's cool!

There's another series running ... by BYG or whomever remains (or inherited the remains of the stolen goods) of them, anyone knows how this all fits together?

All LP and CD it seems (I think when I checked last, a few weeks back, some were digital only) ... possibly nearer to the source (not that it matters much, some of the albums from August 1969 sessions sound quite bad in all issues, it seems, notably the Sunny Murray) and maybe with readable notes and including complete cover reproductions (too bad the Japanese CDs don't reproduce the entire inner part of the fold out covers).

Also as I was considering upgrading the Dave Burrell, I noticed that in this case the Sunspots (manufactured by Abraxas, which also did ESP-Disk' reissues that I've always considered to be bootlegs) seems to be properly licensed.

New batch seems to be in the pipeline for preorder. I see:

AEC #29

Dave Burrell #30

Sunny Murray #32

Grachan Moncur III #33

Dewey Redman #34

Frank Wright #36

Sonny Sharrock #37

Very psyched to grab the Frank Wright. I have the LP but about 1/4th of it is unplayable.

More added today: MEV, Terry Riley and Freedom.

I'm cribbing from DG's site. Checked cdjapan yesterday and none of the titles showed. I have no other Japanese source of info.
