A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...

DON ELLIS Live At Montreux (1978 US 6-track LP, recorded live at the Swiss festival that year, picture sleeve. The sleeve shows minimal edge wear & the vinyl looks barely played SD-19178)

Tracklisting: Open Wide 9:35 Loneliness 5:50 Future Feature 7:17 Go - No - Go 5:07 Sporting Dance 8:42 Niner Two 11:58
DON ELLIS & SURVIVAL Music From Other Galaxies & Planets (1977 US 10-track LP, including jazzy disco versions of music from the first Star Wars movie [main title & Princess Leia's theme], picture sleeve with deletion saw-cut. The sleeve showsminimal wear & the vinyl appears barely played SD18227)

Tracklisting: Star Wars (Main Title Theme) 3:20 Arcturas 5:41 Princess Leia's Theme 3:46 Orion's Sword 3:45 Pegasus 2:41 Crypton 3:30 Lyra 5:48 Eros 4:11 Ursa 2:47 Vulcan 4:36
DON ELLIS How Time Passes (1985 US issue of the 1960 5-track vinyl LP, Don's debut album as a leader revealing his love for playing with the time signature right from the start. Also starring Jaki Byard, Ron Carter and Charlie Persip. Picture sleeve replicating the original artwork and album notes with 'American Jazz Classics' obi-strip, superb condition allround)

Tracklisting: 1. How Time Passes 2. Sallie 3. A Simplex One 4. Waste 5. Improvisational Suite 1
THE DON ELLIS ORCHESTRA Electric Bath (Scarce 1968 UK 5-track stereo LP, the first studio recording by Don with Orchestra & an impressive one it is too, including the wonderful Turkish Bath & Open Beauty originals, plus Indian Lady in 5/4 time& New Horizons based on a musical cycle in 17/4 [divided into 5-5-7]! Like Dave Brubeck before him, playing with irregular time signatures was his forte, & Don delivers the goods on this, his masterpiece, now considered a 'new jazz' classic of the 60s. The front laminated sleeve shows just a little discolouring at the edges & the vinyl reveals only light signs of play)

Tracklisting: 1. Indian Lady 2. Alone 3. Turkish Bath 4. Open Beauty 5. New Horizons
DON ELLIS Shock Treatment (1968 US 10-track stereo LP, featuring more fun & games with big band arrangements, electronics & time signatures from 'the Don', pasted picture sleeve. Being a Record Club issue, this copy has had all references to 'Columbia' blacked out, with a CBS sticker over the logo on the back. Despite a little ringwear & some edge scuffing, the sleeve still remains very acceptable & the vinyl too remains excellent with few signs of its forty five years CS9668)

Tracklisting: 01. A New Kind Of Country 02. Night City 03. Homecoming 04. Mercy Maybe Mercy 05. Opus 5 07. Star Children 08. Beat Me, Daddy, Seven To The Bar 09. Milo's Theme 10. The Tihai
DON ELLIS Autumn (1968 UK 6-track stereo LP. Variations For A Trumpet is a gem, also includes live versions of K.C. Blues and Indian Lady recorded at Stanford University, the latter a near-eighteen minute long rendition of the piece also includedon the Electric Bath album, this version seriously pushing the boundaries and going way out into the stratosphere! The front laminated sleeve shows minimal wear & the vinyl looks barely played. Summer of love jazz!)

Tracklisting: 1. Variations For Trumpet 2. Scratt And Fluggs 3. Pussy Wiggle Stomp 4. K.C. Blues 5. Child Of Ecstasy 6. Indian Lady
