Splendid seeing this one here. I have it on lp, but this cd version sounds much better. And it even adds a track, no.5 on the cd. Inappropriate label? I wouldn't say that, though it's true that Editions EG is not primarily a jazz label. But lots of good stuff released there over the years.

Very nice, thanks Milos. I know Wokingham, worked there for a while, and the idea of this being recorded there is about as weird as Captain Beefheart playing in Kidderminster, but they both happened, truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

Truth is sometimes crazy, bventure. And thanks all for feedback. Kinabalu, I agree about EG Records, but maybe people who bought it were expecting something else, thus many are still selling it. My copy cost about 3 pounds I think.

Milos - I'm eternally grateful to you. I saw District Six play in support of this album in the 80s - what a night! Thanks again - Jeff
