Description
"A real candy here .... A whole firework display of grand jazz, this recording features, among others, Derek Bailey on guitar and Paul Lovens on zither and a singing saw. Not listening to this when you get this served I shall consider a crime. Listen."
That was the verdict of the short-lived Antificial Weblog 2.0 back in 2007, while also mourning the fact that this wonderful album was "released on LP only and has never been re-released since then". That's rather the way with PO Torch Records: 16 LP releases and no re-releases, so this LP has been sadly unavailable since its first release in 1980. A great LP-ful of hot musicianship from Sven-Ake Johansson on percussion, Alex von Schlippenbach on piano, Maarten Altena on doublebass, Derek Bailey on guitar, Gunter christmann on trombone, Wolfgang Fuchs on sopranino and bass clarinet, Paul Lovens on percussion, and Candace Natvig on violin (most doubling on other instruments and some on voice too ... ).
The LP is in very good condition, near mint in the classification of the leading record site. The cover is also in very good condition, with slight marking on the rear, its only fault being that the glue on the lower edge has started to come away: it's easy to reglue but I haven't done it yet as some collectors like it done in special ways!
You do of course have the option of paying $94.80 if you want to order a copy of this rare LP from Amazon plus postage from the USA ...
