BREAKING STRIDE WITH THE LARGE COLLECTION WE VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH, BUT WILL BE BACK TO THAT WITH A HUGE BATCH OF RARE JAZZ VOCAL LPS IN THE COMING WEEKS. RIGHT NOW WE VE GOT A ONE-TIME BATCH OF 80 VERY RARE ORIGINAL JAZZ LPS ACETATES
ARTIST : SUN RA / DAVE COLEMAN / JOE GORDON ROY HAYNES
TITLE : UNTITLED MISCELLANEOUS
LABEL CATALOG NUMBER : FASSETT RECORDING STUDIO / NO NUMBER
FORMAT : ACETATE LP
COVER CONDITION : NO COVER, as issued.
VINYL CONDITION : VG some surface marks, no major scratches, no chipping or damage to acetate playing surface. one tiny chip at edge. some deep storage dust so could use a professional cleaning. plays with some surface noise but nice clear fidelity, which would likely improve with cleaning. hand-typed labels. HEAR IT below.
NOTES : extremely rare ACETATE lp, the only known copy of this album, circa 1957. these are seemingly samples taken from 3 different planned but never completed releases on the TRANSITION label, which was closely connected with the FASSETT RECORDING STUDIO where this recording was produced. featured are UNRELEASED recordings by SUN RA, DAVE COLEMAN, and JOE GORDON ROY HAYNES.
this acetate features 7 recordings by SUN RA, all outtakes from the JAZZ BY SUN RA lp on the TRANSITION label TRLP 10 . here the sun ra tracks do not list individual titles on the hand-typed labels, but are simply listed as 1- 7 SUN RA - EXCERPTS, ALTERNATES, REJECTS, ETC. - TRLP 10 . as the title indicates, these are raw takes complete with studio chatter, abrupt endings, etc., approx. 15 minutes of music by sun ra. the 7 sun ra tracks vary between short snippets longer more fully developed songs. after much research consultation with a leading sun ra collector and archivist, we can say with almost complete certainly that all of the sun ra material contained here is UNRELEASED and has never before been reissued or circulated in any form whatsoever. some or all of these tracks may have been intended for inclusion on a 2nd sun ra album on the transition label.
the same side of the acetate also features 1 longer track by DAVE COLEMAN only titled as REJECT EXCERPTS - - NOT FOR SALE . in all likelihood, this track is from the lost album coleman recorded for transition, titled THESE THINGS BY DAVE COLEMAN . the full recording of this album was mistakenly erased before completion, and to the best of our knowledge, this acetate contains the only surviving recording from coleman s session for transition.
the other side of the acetate features two incomplete versions of a long track titled BAGS GROOVE by the duo of JOE GORDON ROY HAYNES. the first version of this track has a ruined ending, the second shorter version is the corrected ending only. the two versions as well as the ruined corrected endings are clearly noted on the label. it seems reasonable to speculate that this recording represents another planned release on transition that failed to reach completion. joe gordon made later recordings of this title, but we believe this unreleased acetate to be the earliest recorded version.
a significant discovery of unissued sun ra outtakes from his early rare transition lp, to the best of our knowledge the only surviving copy. insofar as the labels show side 3 and side 4, we assume a matching acetate labeled side 1 and side 2 was manufactured - and may have survived, although no copies have been reported. the scant available information about this album refers to it as a test pressing, but it is in fact a direct cut acetate as opposed to a pressed record, quite possibly the only copy made. any other reference to this record is likely to the exact same copy being offered here. please contact us with any additional information.
please LISTEN to many samples below, unaltered taken directly for the actual acetate listed :
