Description
The Ric Colbeck Quartet LP - The Sun Is Coming Up. Original pressing. Very rare.
This was my uncles. He wasn’t a jazz fan at all and therefore this has hardly been played. I suspect he played it once and that was it. I have played it through twice with an elliptical stylus set at 1.75g with no skips, and the vinyl is very quiet. It is in fantastic condition. Sounds better than some brand new records I have. Hard to believe it is 50 years old. The sleeve is pretty perfect too. I can’t imagine there are many of this pressing in such brilliant condition.
Any questions answered. Happy bidding!
Here is a write up I found, listed at 5 in the top 10 free jazz underground LP’s of all time:
5. THE RIC COLBECK QUARTET – The Sun Is Coming Up (Fontana 6383 001)
Issued in the UK only in 1970. Ric was an interesting white cat who came to the U.S. to blow some free e-motion with NYC loft dwellers. He’s most well known for his amazing playing on the great Noah Howard’s first ESP-Disk release (ESP 1031). The whole 1000 series of ESP is critical & crucial to anybody wanting to explore this era of Free Jazz featuring recordings by Ayler, Ornette, Sonny Simmons, Sun Ra, Henry Grimes, Steve Lacy, Sunny Murray, Marzette Watts, Patty Waters, et al. I’m not including any of these in this list as they’re all available on CD now (from Forced Exposure, address above). The picture of Ric on the Noah Howard LP shows a man with race-car shades and a “cool” haircut playing his horn while a ciggie burns nonchalantly from his relaxed grip. A very hip dude. And very FREE. His only solo recording is this Fontana LP which he recorded while cruising through Europe. He connected with South African drummer Selwyn Lissack (whatever happened to…) and the UK’s famous avant-altoist Mike Osborne and bassist J.F. ‘Jenny’ Clark (student of 20th century compositionists Lucian Berio and Karlheinz Stockhausen) to create this exceptional and complex masterpiece
