Fushitsusha: Classic or dud

Yes Live II is 15/16

Oh. That is disappointing

boooo

Thanks, Duke! xxp

And uuuugghhh fuck vinyl-only.

man that's a drag (yet somehow i'm sure i will end up buying all of these anyway because i am a chump)

I think an email-writing campaign is in order - info @ theblackeditions dot com.

Haha! xpost

I'm willing to write.

The Barre Phillips/Keiji Haino duo set is indescribably essential. But it's such a spacious, quiet recording, that vinyl will pretty much ruin the experience.

I was wondering what kind of demand they needed.

I'm also thinking that I thought a lot of the Fushitsusha tracks at least would be difficult to fit onto vinyl, I thought they'd be 2 or possibly 3 vinyl sides long.

But I have noticeed that a few reissue labels that started off doing cds too seem to have gone vinyl only. Is Superior Viaduct still doing cds at all?

Yeah Live II is about 150 minutes long or something

no long tracks on II though, it would fit on a 3LP just fine (not that I will buy it)

Yeah Live II could work. But Fushitsusha generally more suited to CD.

I didn't manage to pick up that recent Fushitsusha / Brötzmann collaboration. Regretting it now.

Holy fucking shit; a full one-hour performance from 1987, now on YouTube:

amazing

:o

i found myself wanting to shout some variation of "YES! HELL YES!" periodically through this video

Funny I was watching a bunch of that the live '91 video earlier this week.

Would be great it Temporal Drift took these guys on after they finished up with Les Rallizes Denudes stuff. Impossible to find this stuff, even the older mp3 blogs offer either dead links or corrupt files. Really would love to find the 1989 and 1991 live albums.

There's flac rips of both of those on t0rrent sites, just saying.

Yeah, assumed that was probably the case, I don't really torrent though.

I mostly want the Tokuma albums (A Death Never To Be Complete, The Time Is Nigh, A Little Longer Thus and The Wisdom Prepared) to come back into print — they're ridiculously expensive secondhand. The "other two" double live CDs — Purple Trap and I Saw It! That Which Before I Could Only Sense — would be nice to have around, too.

Oh yeah, I'd take it all tbh. The Temporal Drift model would be nice - a new reissue every few months to get the catalog back in print.

Wasn't there a label doing PSF reissues on vinyl only? Certainly the Fushitsusha recs are best heard on CD because of their length, and yes, a complete Tokuma reissue set wld be nice.

Yeah, Black Editions was doing some of the PSF catalog vinyl reissues.

Fushitsusha Double Live (1991) is supposed to be getting a 5 LP (!) reissue on Black Editions

God I don't want to see the price on that, be nice if they could do a CD as well.

I paid $65 for a CD copy of Live II last year. I do not regret this.

I probably would jump for that price, I haven't seen a copy for under three figures.

I remember even back in the '90s those Fusitsusha CDs were pricey. I think like $30 for a typical import single CD was common.

Back in about 1990 I sold a copy of Iron Maiden's "Soundhouse Tapes" 7" for $70 to some guy in the US, it's now worth about 20 times that. Anyway I recycled the cash by sending it to PSF in Japan for Fushitsusha "Live 2" plus I think CDs by Ghost, High Rise and maybe a Tokyo Flashback comp. Money well spent, even though I could have bought half the PSF catalogue with it if I'd waited a decade or two before selling. But who can wait for Fushitsusha?

Every time I see one pop up on Discogs for a reasonable amount, it's always like someone asking like $40 for shipping.
