Out of stock from Cargo Records which is the main distributor of Treader releases. Nothing on Amazon co uk, nothing on Itunes, further nothing on Spotify or on Wimp, streaming services available here. On the latter, altogether 16 Tchicai releases, on the former 12 releases, none of which is the item in question here. On Discogs and Ebay, none. Searching Gemm, Musicstack and Cdandlp, which are huge databases, results in 1 copy found, but these include dealers trading in second-hand copies. <br /><br />None of the above means that there is not a single or a few copies available out there, otherwise there would be nothing to purchase and hence nothing to post. <br /><br />So I would say for all practical purposes, pretty much unobtainable. If one were to apply the same exacting standards to everything posted, I think we'll be running out of options. <br /><br />However, I do see a future for cassettes made in 20 copies from the early part of the 80s, ripped to low-grade mp3. I would say anything made in more than a 100 copies smacks of blatant commercialism and should be shunned by true collectors.<br /><br />I saw that there was a copy of the West African four lp set for one hundred bucks. So if anyone wants to rise to the challenge ... Don't ask me, though.kinabaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211840256387413715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-21904041708383180872012-10-28T14:28:02.239+01:002012-10-28T14:28:02.239+01:00serviceton the friendly pig says:

As it has no stated manifesto or declaration of purpose or conduct, this is understandable. (Note that I'm not calling for such a thing -- just trying to be be factual)<br /><br />2 - What is 'OK' morally and ethically in the music filesharing world will also provoke wildly <br />divergent (and sometimes subtly nuanced) differences of opinion amongst participants and spectators. On this blog, the differences are perhaps likely to be fewer than elsewhere. That any remaining differences can be important is evidenced above<br /><br />3 *Tone* of comment is difficult to infer many times on bulletin boards, blog pages and many other interweb locations. It can be *way* harder to come to a consensus online then might be possible in a face-to-face situation.<br /><br />I am tempted to revive the "created in an evening and quickly left moribund" devils lunchbox blog - and invite everyone over for a chat on matters raised here. Not because I particularly enjoy debating or anything..<br />But it <b>does matter.</b><br />I haven't said anything of what <b>I think</b> here - which may either be admirable or pathetic.

Any preservation of music, of whatever kind, should be done with the most care and at at the highest possible,reasonable , quality. By reasonable I mean the best that can be achieved without extreme expense,or secret-agent-type devices. That, in this case, I respectfully quess would mean "Flac". If only mp3 was available to us, I would not be making this arguement. <br /> My first comment on this subject would not have been written if the Tchicai had remained in the contribution,request or free-form sections! This is an important thought to remember in the slogging the clown is taking. I honestly thought it was just too recent, and too high profile, and it's availability to in question, as proven!, to give a main listing to.<br /> Did any of you clowns post an email to Treader to ask if they would mind? Maybe they wouldn't have minded! Then all this Sol-wretching would be irrelevant.<br /> Sotise, you seem like a great person, and it's cool you take the time to think about the bigger picture, but why do you participate at all then? Life is a compromise, if , geez, The clown gives up.!!!<br /> Stick to radio broadcasts, and live recordings. Only do discs as a last resort, in the sections I mentioned. That would solve a lot of problems right there.<br /> Bozo ain't joining no social-media to contact someone! OUT! <br />PS, no-one out there think I've raised some good points?

Bozo wishes there had been a less public way of expressing his concern over that one particular album to the Sol Brain-trust. And make no mistake, it is a helluva album!<br /> Bozo officially apologizes for 'causing a ruckus.
