    I have only had time to listen to the first track (it is after midnight), so I may be wrong but: track 01 opens with 'Scraps' and then about ten minutes in rolls into 'Weal'. I wonder if the given track listing is correct but the tracks have been played or recorded in pairs.
    Anyway, many thanks for this. It is (for me at least) always a pleasure to hear Mr Lacy's wonderful music.

    Just as Marten said, tracks here are:

    1 - Scraps/Weal (continuous)
    2 - Flakes
    3 - The Schoals
    4 - Moms/Crops/Esteem (applause between)
    5 - The Rush/Announcement(Steve Lacy)

    What a great set!

    Never knew the "Scraps" (or "Flakes", since half of these are from there) sextet had performed in this quartet configuration. Michael Smith doesn't show up too often over the years, but when he does, it's always in the finest places, as here. (For that matter, I've always wondered how or why Kent Carter has kept such a low profile since parting ways with Lacy, and Kenny Tyler, who virtually disappeared after this, is wonderful here.)

    I've only heard "Moms" in solo or duo performances, as a finely chiseled, perfect miniature - the version here is downright orchestral by comparison, and it's a whole new perspective.

    Many thanks for this, a very distinct item in the Lacy catalog, and totally new to me.

    This is a stellar set, complete with stellar sound. Do not hesitate to download if you appreciate 70s Lacy.

    I made a bootleg cover:

    Great stuff, thanks.

    @1009 - Nice idea about the cover, but I don't understand what your cover has to do with the recording here? Maybe you could explain?

    Thanks.

    I tried the reload and Schoals was flawed in both part 1 and part 2 loads. Quel dommage.
