COMPANY "BBC STUDIOS, MAY 1983"
While preparing this post I got confused a bit. Got this with a text file which states 11 items but my version has 12. The point of consideration are tracks 5 and 6. The list coming with the CD-r I've got years ago says there's only tr. 5 ( EP-HD-JL). But the folder contained also tr. 6 (EP-JL).
Maybe the performance of the trio was split into two separate tracks? And I cannot hear Hugh Davies on track 6. So it seems the way it is offered here might be accurate enough. Maybe someone can shed some light on this...Andy?
I left the short announcements which are obviously truncated - but better some meagre crumps of hopefully reliable information than none at all.
Interestingly this recording is not mentioned in Ben Watson's book on Derek Bailey, although it has a particular chapter on Company concerts and recordings.
There is an official Company recording from the I.C.A., London, 24-28 May 1983, which is also the only Company never reissued.
But the music is great and IMO that's what is important.

EUROPÄISCHE JAZZNACHT FÜSSEN "1993/1994/1995 TEIL 1"
The "König Ludwig Lied" is a traditional song which came up shortly after the mysterious death of king Ludwig II from Bavaria.
Lyrics vary sometimes - occaisonally with a strong incriminating political content.
But it is also a quite 'kitschy' song which has also connotations to a superficial view of Bavaria and its history/customs.

Joelle Leandre-Les Douzes Sons LP, 1983 Nato
Heres a stunning, hugely enjoyable improv Record on the lamented Nato label.
Joelle Leandre= Godess One of the most unfailingly riveting contemporary improvisors..
if you havent heard her , this is a great place to start , the variety and level of invention through out is staggering.
and whats more its laced with droll humour typical of Nato 's house aesthetic.
The Fun ,and sheer pleasure of playing are palpable throughout , perhaps even the very essence of the record.
Joelle's Dog Miss Biscotte is featured in a hilarious trio with George Lewis.
The full line up is J.Leandre, G.Lewis, Annick Nozati, Irene Scheizer, Ernst Reyseger, and legendary bassist Barre Phillips.
wonderful stuff.. those interested in checking out more OOP Nato lps go here AND HERE

Again a post by sotise which I dare to take over. The above text is by primarely by sotise.
I would like to add that for the re-up the two tracks of 'Sweet Zee' (side A and side B of the double LP) were reinstalled as a continous performance. (This is a new rip not the previous one altered)
And not at least I want to point out that the concert released on the fourth side of this LP was released as CD in 2016. Actually the CD has the complete concert from this day. Available through the label Fou Records .
