  2. Tony Coe is a musician that I don't know much about and listened not very often so if someone have some suggestions in his discography it would be welcome.
    I have in mind the trio with Tony Oxley and Chris Laurence on hat, it have been badly reissued on cd because one track is missing to make only one cd, it seems that this is now out of print.

  4. Thank you Nick, I was thinking of the duo with Bailey unfortunately once again the label have reissued it only on lp.
    In the 21st century there are some labels who still think that they are in the middle age. I don't mean that lp is the middle age, I just think that providing only one version is totally stupid.

  5. I guess the label paid to license it from Incus Records, so it depends what formats Incus was willing to license, first off. Next, if they had options, what would earn an income that would support their business. They're selling it, not providing it and have kept a mortar-and-brick record store and a label for non-mainstream records going for a long time, so probably not stupid.
