A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | MILFORD GRAVES Bäbi (Archive Quality 1977 US first press
three-part LP on a light red & black IPS label, recorded the
previous year at the WBAI-FM/Free Music Store in New York
with Arthur Doyle & Hugh Glover on reeds. Recently subject to a
fascinating documentary film, they say Milford Grave's drumkit
was homemade & that he rarely ever ventured outside of his NY
Queens neighbourhood to perform. Here is a man that believed
his instrument - the drums - was capable of far, far more thanjust timekeeping. Expect two sides of incendiary fire music &
spontaneous volcanic eruptions from the highest plains! The
pasted picture sleeve [Near Mint] is a remarkable off white with
no deletion cuts & is still in open shrink. The vinyl grades Near
Mint with very little suggestion of play IPSST004)
Tracklisting: A1 Bä 11:08
A2 Bi 3:50
B1 Bäbi 15:14 |  | MILFORD GRAVES & DON PULLEN Nommo (Very rare original 1967
US three-part private press vinyl LP on a dark blue & yellow SRP
label, the first volume of the 'In Concert at Yale University' recording
& one of America's first DIY Free Jazz records, heavyweight pasted
picture sleeve. See 'more info' for condition details... LP-290)

Recently subject to a fascinating documentary film, they say Milford Grave's drumkit was homemade & that he rarely ever ventured outside of his NY Queens neighbourhood to perform. Here is a man that believed his instrument - the drums - was capable of far, far more than just timekeeping. Pullen performs a similarly percussive approach to the piano & the results are not for the faint of heart. This is the polar opposite of your cosey Prestige or laidback Blue Note date, Nommo is a rare documentation of Milford Grave's work & is about as raw & unhinged as it gets, a volcanic Freeform firestorm that ended up on Thurston Moore's 'Top Ten Free Jazz Underground ' list for good reason. Dare you take up the challenge of Milford & Don's art?
Condition :-
Coming from a one owner collection from the UK that was packed with exotic imports & underground LPs of the sixties & seventies, mostly all concerning Freeform music of some kind, this example was bought new at the time & has been kept in exceptionally nice condition ever since.
The pasted card picture sleeve grades VG+ with no deletion cuts or writing. There is some scuffing to the edges & one or two of the corners have a faint crease. The panels remain nice & clean. There is the beginnings of paper splitting in the top left corner & a half inch split to the bottom right corner [also signs of one of the top edges starting to weaken causing a small hairline fracture], so often found with American sleeves of this vintage. Nonetheless, a lovely original example.
The vinyl is Excellent to Near Mint. There are very few signs of play at all with this record & is therefore highly recommended. But only for the headstrong! | | MILFORD GRAVES Bäbi (Archive Quality 1977 US first press
