Phalanx "Aka" George Adams & James Blood Ulmer Quartet - Live In Bremen 1986

While I was checking the discography of Phalanx in preparation of this post I was surprised to learn that obviously this concert have been partially published by James « Blood » Ulmer himself on his own label: American Revelation Music Inc. The only reference about this can be found on discogs:

But there is no copy for sale on discogs and I searched on the others most famous places where music can be bought and this cd doesn’t even appears. To have searched years ago some references of American Revelation Music, I know that this label have no distribution except by James « Blod » himself, also everything he publish is in a very limited numbers. So if this cd have existed it might be gone for good and very hard to find now. This is the first reason why I have decided to do this post, the second reason is the fact that on the cd, only a part of the concert have been published and the order of the tracks has been changed, here we have the full concert with the correct track order.
