Anything released on Horo is worth a listen so thanks for sharing this one, Nick.

thanks a lot, nick - great to have this!!

new world records released a 4-cd box in 2008, it consists of unplublished recordings from 1967 to 2007 - could be the one chris_c is referring to. the box is in print, of course.

cheers

Thank you!

Instead of Nona Hendryx saying she is busting out, if someone posts the box set, then I can say "I'm boxing out!!!"

matt w said...

Thank you so much! I've been looking for this for a while. For years there have been rumors that Horo will begin reissuing their catalogue but no actual releases.

Thanks again!

Same with the 1f link! I'm looking forward to hearing Lacy in this context. Many thanks.

DW said...

Nick, again, thanks!!

The 1F link is still working, incredible. I just knew this band by it's name but never listened to them. The mixing of sounds and artistic personality is very interesting. Great is also the high quality of the transfer. Horo never made high quality pressing and sound so the perfect transfer is a sort of performance.

BIG THX!...

john_a said...

This looks great! Thanks
I do see an issue in the archive, having downloaded it twice now.

Track A (Via Della Luce) appears missing?
And B3;C1;D1 are showing as corrupt in DBpoweramp on my end.
I can't be sure if this is just an issue for me, so wanted to ask.
John

Nick said...

Hi - weird but track A has gone missing from my recording, the other tracks are OK. I'll re-do it sometime, not sure how soon - maybe someone has a copy?

rev.b said...

Thanks Nick. I just got around to this tonight and besides missing track A1, tracks B3, C1 & D1 seem to be corrupted. Looks like John-a's having the same issue. I'll try the first part again. I'm very impressed by what I've heard so far. Thanks.

rev.b said...

Sorry to have to report tracks B3 C1, and D1 are in fact corrupt. I tried two more times. Please re-up. Thanks!

Is a re-post possible for this one, please?
The 1f link is gone.
