bembeya jazz national @ 45tours

Since a greatest hits collection was released in the wake of lead singer Demba Camara's death in 1973, many of these have been slightly more available over the years than Balladins or Horoya or Keletigui singles tracks, but everything is here in one place.

sam and dave - can't stand up for falling down

A collection of '68-'71 Atlantic singles along with two cuts from Stax, one from a Stay In School radio promo album and the title cut, a b-side (apparently dubbed from vinyl) that was famously covered by Elvis Costello. Some have subsequently been collected on CD anthologies, some really good ones, like Ooh Ooh Ooh, have not.

dave schramm - folk und die folgen

Limited edition German-only solo release from the leader of the criminally unknown Schramms of New York City, a great songwriter and guitar player, sweet and sad, plain and simple. Also included are two songs from Radio Free Song Club, a monthly webcast of exclusive tracks from old favorites like Peter Blegvad, Peter Holsapple and Freedy Johnston as well as Schramm, who's also lead guitarist in the RFSC All Stars house band. Finally, Fade Fade, an epic outtake from The Schramms' One Hundred Questions CD, produced by J.D. Foster of Richard Buckner's best long players, from the band's website.

howard tate @ 45tours plus

Howard Tate's monaural Verve 45s from CD, non-hits from Turntable and Atlantic, a one-off Epic 45 from 1974, independent singles from 1976 and 1986, plus album selects. His voice is one in a million, with great songs and production by Jerry Ragavoy and Lloyd Price. I've taken the liberty of moving the songs I don't particularly care for to the end of the line, for your (my) listening pleasure. Don't miss the beautiful Either Side Of The Same Town (Jerry Ragovoy/Elvis Costello) from Tate's comeback CD, following decades lost in a perilous wilderness.

horoya band national @ 45tours

I believe the very best Syliphone stuff is on the singles, so here's another collection from far and near. Some sound clean, others nasty, but they're all here, including five consecutively-numbered singles from 1974 and three tracks from annual Discotheque collections that were not released as 45s. For the like-minded, check out this bootleg cassette with what seem to be Syliphone outtakes. Great ones. Flinstonian sound quality, but still..!

paul bley trio plus john gilmore - turns

March 9, 1964 session featuring John Gilmore on tenor sax. Bley released some of this on his own IAI label in 1975 and the rest appeared on a Savoy new music anthology, but this Michael Cuscuna vinyl, which briefly slipped out just as LP racks were being reconfigured for longbox CDs, has everything in one place. Record and cover both in glorious mono.
