  1. Once again a fantastic share Nick, when I discovered this label, this lp was sparking off my curiosity. Do you have this one that seems also very interesting, it is a tape:

    After your post of the first Will Menter I found some interesting other names like Roy Ashbury or William Embling, both are playing on this reissued tape of a band called crystal palace, including also Barry leigh who also plays on Community by Will Menter here is the bandcamp link for those who are interested

    Of course I recommend. I also recommend this one from William Embling with percussionist Anthony Barnett

    A real good recording, Anthony Barnett still have some copies for a very good price. While exchanging with him by email he told me that he have some tapes were he plays with John Tchicai and Roy Ashbury. I encouraged him to make a selection and publish some of those recordings even only in digital on Bandcamp but obviously he was not ready to do it unfortunately for us.

    This was the last of the Zyzzle releases that I have for now.

  3. It's already a great contribution Nick.
    Yes I noticed also the name of Mark Langford and planned a trip of exploration to his music :)
