Craig Leon's Nommos appears to be about to be properly reissued. I'm delighted by this after just discovering it upthread.

also kind of amazing that the list price is $57 and amazon is selling it for $13? guess i should buy it quick.
― tylerw, Thursday, 27 June 2013 14:49 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, it's ugly. And the supposed inflated price is exactly why I snapped it up when I did! I 'll report back on what it exactly is once it comes...
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 27 June 2013 15:16 (ten years ago) link
i ordered it too! BOOK CLUB!
― tylerw, Thursday, 27 June 2013 15:42 (ten years ago) link
Ordered. Looks great. Can't beat the price, either. Let's meet back here in two weeks and discuss!

for those interested -- my friend who is working on the Homegas reissue has been in touch with all the surviving members, has gotten some awesome rare photos, and is going to continue working towards getting it reissued. This is the same dude who did the F.J. McMahon record so you know it'll be high quality.

Now I will quit bumming out that I lost a bid on a clean copy of that Homegas LP last week (went for over $150). One up now that looks OK - cover's trashed but the vinyl looks fine - already over $50. Can't swing it, not with this ridiculous free jazz list up right now. Err, perhaps I've said too much.
Ian, please keep me posted re: this reissue. Holy grail record for me, one of three or four LPs I'd drop $100 on if I saw it
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Thursday, 27 June 2013 19:00 (ten years ago) link
yeah what's the label?
― tylerw, Thursday, 27 June 2013 19:04 (ten years ago) link
circadian press. small one man operation.

Welp, my "Fahey handbook" came, it appears to be a combination of truly useless arcanum (a family tree of Fahey's great grandfather?, truly obsessive levels of categorizing of each and every pressing of every single Fonotone issue and reissue) combined with quite interesting-seeming biographical and songwriting details I haven't seen yet scattered throughout. Glad I bought it, but glad i didn't drop 50 bucks on it also. I suppose the maniacal level of detail is useful for collectors and whatnot, but I don't know if this is a book you can exactly 'read' per se

how the hell did the Sir Douglas Quintet's "Best Of" LP come out on this label?? at first I thought it had the wrong inner sleeve. such a non sequitur.

Prob contract filler after SDQ's Border Wave, also on Takoma (and Takoma-Crysalis), in 1981. Here's my fave track---a Kinks kover, but fits their sound perfectly, which was the orig premise of the deal (Hey Kids! Yall like that skinny tie, skinny organ New Wave sound---here's Border Wave! Of course the original Sir Douglas premise, w "She's About A Mover" etc. was also re Southwestern influences on Brit Invasion)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WcinP-YgyM#t=24

one side has just two long a cappella songs. trance-inducing.

Similar vibe to Bukka White's "Sky Songs."
Can anyone speak about sq differences between the Rvng, Intl reissue of Craig Leon's Nommos and the Superior Viaduct reissue? I've heard that the Rvng, along with adding Visiting and using entirely different cover art, is a noisy pressing, but I also recall reading a piece in The Wire in which Leon himself disapproved of the Superior Viaduct edition for whatever reason. Providing one is unable to procure an og Takoma pressing, which reissue is preferable?
Also, is it weird that this was reissued by two different labels less than a year apart?

I'm so excited to finally have found a copy of Homegas, and the disc itself looks near mint.
