Needless to say I had to get one and so after some searching I have finally acquired a nice clean copy of Discogs for a very reasonable price. Now this has become my own reference vinyl. It also sounds pretty mean on CD!

Excellent info there Bannjo, I must keep my eyes open.

I listened to this ECM LP earlier today. I have loved it ever since I first listened to it way back in the seventies, it features four (primarily Jazz) musicians playing rock, and it is splendid.
Gary Burton (vibraphone)
Mick Goodrick (guitar)
Abraham Laboriel (bass)
Harry Blazer (drums)
The opening track:

A real cool slice from 1962 - bonus of Jim Hall on acoustic guitar.

Bill is ok in small doses, too much swell pedal for my liking.

That is a splendid set indeed, alas I have most of 'em already.
