Lars Gunnar Bodin – Bengt –Emil Johnson, semikolon,  SR ( SWE)

An absolute must have! A pioneering “Hörspiel” by two of the greatest Swedish composers all time: Bodin and Johnson!

Original 1966 1^st press on Seriges Radio Förlag.

Originally created as a 6 part radio series in 1965, and released in 1966 by Sveriges Radio. This is the first LP recording by either of these composers. Recorded at EMS (Elektron Musik Studion), the newly established studio facility at Swedish Radio. This pioneering work did not easily fit in any category that existed at the time. Inspired by the work of Öyvind Fahlström (who was a pioneer of concrete poetry along with the Lettrists and Futurists), a few young Swedish artists began exploring new text based experiments. The only other artist releasing records of similar soundworks at this early time in Sweden was Åke Hodell who had released two 7” singles.
These Swedish sound poets differ in style from their other European counterparts mainly due to their easy access to the high quality facilities available at EMS, with its own in house engineers and sophisticated studio equipment. Given the close relationship at that time between EMS and the national Swedish radio station, their works often have a strong narrative (radio art) quality. Semikolon is one such work.

Highest possible recommendations!

Jazz Jamboree 1967            Muza

Absolute KILLER! One of the most amazing surprises for us EVER to find out what is behind the group name Manfred Schoof Quintet!!!! Finding it all out during a discussion with Evan Parker about rare vinyls some years ago. Because of a late change, two replacements had to be made for one particular tour and Gerd Dudek and Sven- Åke Johansson, that normally plays in this amazing quintet  , could not make it for the tour. Therefor the line up for the tour and on THIS recording are:

Manfred Schoof – trumpet

Evan Parker  !!!– saxophone

Alex von Schlippenbach – piano

Buschi Niebergall – bass

Han Bennink!!! – drums

Which is an absolute amazing line up, in our world!

And the version they are playing of the Sonny Rollins track “Doxy” is nothing less than sensational! 5 stars and more…

The rest of the record has a more mainstream music focus, but there are some fine vocal jazz contributions by Georgie Fame.

Be quick! This one will go. Since it is not even pricy…. (yet) ….

Sun Ra in a meet w old school violin player Stuff Smith in one of the earliest recordings ever by Sun Ra.

Already 1953 Ra was happening!

The recordings span from a period between 1953 – 55.

A very important album to have to fully understand the music and legacy of Sun Ra!

Wonderful, just wonderful!

Original Saturn release from 1973. No cover (it was never released with a specific cover and came in a huge variety of other jackets over the years )

Jan Wallgren / Bengt Ernryd – love chant                     dragon

Amazing Swedish jazz with two true pioneers.

Wallgren and Ernryd worked very closely together for many years. Experimenting with free forms and also involving ethnic  music into their jazz spectrum. A very creative mix that gave extremely interesting results.

This is a really really great record and an example of what they were doing at the time.

Just GREAT drumming by Erik Dahlbäck (of Per Hernik wallin trio – fame!) .

Original Swedish pressing from 1977.

Derek Bailey – solo guitar                         Incus 2

The 2^nd release on Incus. And what a release!!!!

This is a masterpiece.

Nothing else.

A true classic. Monster guitar playing by maestro Bailey. His first solo record.

And it IS an INSANE one… so GREAT , so beautiful.

We have no words.

This is the pressing w  turquise labels… made in 500 copies right after the first pressing ( dark blue labels ). So made in 1971, but technically speaking 2^nd pressing. But more rare then the 1^st pressing (1000 copies)! Do you follow?

Amazing  1^st pressing cover art… goes really well with the music!

An absolute MUST HAVE!

This music changed the legacy of jazz… it changed many people and guitar players over the years… and we understand why.

One of the best records ever made in recorded music… NO JOKE!

Very very rare to find in any condition at all… and this copy is nothing else then amazing!

A masterpiece!

Bengt Ernryd Quartet  1964 – 65                          dragon

A brilliant album with some very early freer jazz from Sweden.

Bengt Ernryd playing some totally beautiful trumpet with his comrades

Jan Wallgren on piano, Gösta Wällivaara on bass and the amazing Janne Carlsson on drums (of Hansson & Carlsson – fame!!!).

Recorded in 1964 and 1965… this is one of the earliest attempts recorded in Sweden to involve Indian music into the world of Jazz.

Some mix of lydian concepts (George Russell), Indian scales and freer jazz- makes this a very very important album.

Virtuoso trumpet playing by Ernryd that is quite uniqe even with international standards. Fantastic!

Released 1975 on the classic Swedish dragon label.

Original first pressing in great condition.

Sven Hessle – grekisk rapsodi                             SH 001/ private

This is it. The bomb…

This is rarer then hen´s teeth.

And it is so goooooood. Absolute KILLER music!

And different from anything else you have ever heard.

Made in 50 (!!!) copies in 1968. On Sven Hessles own label SH.

Sven Hessle played bass with Bengt Nordström in the 60´s and later made his academic career and played only occasionally.

But back in the 60´s he was a driving force! Amazing bass player with great visions!

And this record is a …. Sensation!
you will never ever see a copy again. 50 copies in 1968….

This is very likely the ONLY time we can offer this one.

Comes with a xeroxed letter to the buyer in Swedish. In the original white plain sleeve from 1968.

A-side with a Swedish singer making a greek (!) rhapsody… backed by the FANTASTIC quartet of Hessle, the oneandonly Christer Boustedt on alto sax , and tandem team Gösta Wälliwaara /  Janne Carlsson!!! It swings like MAD! Free jazz! FRREEEEED JAZZ!

Absolutely mind minding.

B-side has a KICKIN free jazz unit w the great Gilbert Homström on tenor sax (of Mount Everest fame! )  and Åke Johansson on piano and Anders Söderling on drums.

KICK ass free jazz blow out! The Tenor sax playing is some of the hippest tenor sax playing ever recorded in Scandinavia! For SURE!!!

This is the bomb.

This is the one that never shows.  I ve seen only two copies ever. JG records mania. That label did their records in such small quantities. BUT, the content on those releases….. HOLY SHIT! They all RULE!!! And they are all extremely RARE!

Great condition. The version is the classic black cover with yellow silk screen print and with the with white transparent vinyl with a red screen print.

Beautiful…. Just beautiful . a MUST have.

This is the original pressing, the 1st one.

But there is also a pre press…. That was made in about 50 copies. We have only seen 5 copies of that one the last 20 years. And the price of the pre press is just beyond sanity…

Urban Hansson – Emphasis on Jazz, Dragon

Classic to be!

CLASSIC!

Free jazz with the mighty Dewey Redman in great form. A still very underrated tenor saxplayer that is at his best on this piece of an amazing vinyl.

Brötzmann/ Van Hove / Bennink – Einheitsfrontlied, FMP S3 (GER)

 

The epic and classic Hanns Eisler lied in an INSANE version, that wipes you and your relatives away. A bomb…. Musically  and in all possible ways.

The ultimate jukebox release for freer minds!

This is the original release! You dont find this one around that often these days.

Also the re release on Cien Fuegos, from last years record store day edition is sold out…. They went fast!!!! Very fast!

But this one is the very rare first FMP release back from the days.

Music is a weird nightmare of quotes and brutality and sheer beauty… all in once.

In perfect condition. Highly recommended — really… all you need… the perfecr start for a  7 inch collection with ambitions and directions

This Ep is in great shape. And just such an amazing piece of vinyl.

This is something quite amazing!

A session made for a soundtrack to a Bertrand Tavernier film. And what a weird and beautiful line up:

Mindblowing! Right on!

Both the 7” and the Lp is a must!

traded , sorry!

 

 

 

 

Handgjort – Handgjort , Silence ( SWE)

 

A legendary release. This is the new release from last year. Made in only 600 copies.

All hand made with an original artwork (like it was done back in the days ) attached by hand. With the original recording from 1970 of  this psych masterpiece. A great booklet with info and footage is accompanying the music. A wonderful release!

Try and look for the original release… and try to find it on the pre press on Finnish Love records… if you do find it.. you are a lucky son of a gun!

But, meanwhile you need this edition, because it has an extra bonus LP included… and there are some amazing psych/ hippie percussion insanity with among others Don Cherry (!!!!) and Bengt Berger on the record! Recorded live at the legendary Gärdesfesten in 1970.

For once a 2nd pressing that you really NEED!!!!

traded , sorry

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bitter Funeral Beer Band – Bitter Funeral Beer, ECM ( GER)

 

One of the most amazing LP releases of the swedish music scene. We kid you not!

Bengt Berger leading his mighty large ensemble Bitter Funeral Beer Band with special guest Don Cherry!!!

Amazing playing from the band that includes legendary drummer Thomas Mera Gartz, , of Träd , Gräs & Stenar –fame, that passed away last year.

The music is a beautiful mix of very strong african music and free jazz/ psych.

LP only release.

Highest recomendations!

In perfect shape. Not the rarest… BUT, one of the most amazing documents ever!!!

 

traded , sorry

 

 

Thomazs Stanko – Fish Face, Klub Plutowy / pol jazz ( POL)

 

For the 2nd time, we can present this unknown vinyl beast: FISH FACE!

Get it just for its title… or get it because it is a rockin beast of beauty musically!

Some overthetop synthi (!)  playing by mighty drummer Stu Martin.

And some really ass kickin trumpet playing from Stanko himself.

This record  is a must for any collector of European improvised music. An essential historical and musical document!

Music  is as amazing as u can imagine… and more…

The cover is one of the best ALL Time.

The condition of the record is really great; VG++/ NM-

So… all in all: If you dont have this one already… start dig up some heavy trades…. Since you NEED this one.

And the final bomb… very much a BOMB:

 

Brötzmann / Van Hove / Bennink  plus Albert Mangelsdorf– FMP  0020, 0030 , 0040 (GER)

 

A box… THE box… that has it all!

Music is a monster!  Packaging is genius.

One of the greatest documents of the early European Free Jazz scene. Brutal and beautiful.

This is the very first release. The 3 Lp´s comes in plain white innersleeves in the cardboard box, with its buyers name and stamps on the cover. Numbered edition of only maximum 200 copies.. perhaps less. This is nr 32!

The records are in great condition NM- .

The only minus… is the tape on the spine of the box, see picture. and some wine beling spilled in the right down corner of the back of the box…. but….. but….but… we tell you… this is a legendary release!
because….

Here is the thing:

 

Peter Brötzmann was and is a very active visual artist. In the very early days of Fluxus  he was working for some time as an assistant to the great Korean artist Nam Jun Paik!

He was among other things preparing the famous prepared piano of Paik´s…

Also assisting at a famous happening / exhibition at Gallerie Parnass. Where a huge amount of Fluxus events were held in  early 60´s.

Paik had prepared a weather balloon in the gallery room

Filled it up with air. Balloon expanding and filling every inch of the gallery room. No space for visititors.

Everyone standing outside at the opening of the exhibition. Talking, drinking, hanging…  looking at the balloon filling the windows and doors of the gallery…

…and one person smoking a cigarette a bit too close to the Balloon….

BANG!

Balloon in a thousand small pieces.

End of story…. (almost)

Brötzmann was afterwards allowed to collect the small rubber pieces of the balloon and also got  Mr Paiks permission to use the fragments in a piece of his own:

The poster that is included in this box!!!!!!!!!

We kid you NOT!

Attached on the beautiful poster of Brö – design, is one of the original pieces of the rubber pieces from the balloon of  the  exhibition of Mr. Paik!

So, what you get with a very serious trade offer… is not only an amazing musical document of one of the most important groups at its time , but also an original piece of art by Nam Jun Paik!

This story is not well known. And the story is here being verified and told, with the kind permission of Mr. Brötzmann himself.

Only very serious offers please….

TRADED Immediately!

 

 

 

good luck!

 

one piece of vinyl per day keeps the doctor away!!!
