It truly is amazing that this thread is arguably the center of the best actual 'reissuing' of this period of his work, given his stature. Though per unperson's post seems like it's being partially redressed, but what are the sources they're using?

I've only bought one of their releases, but their reputation is pretty solid, I think. They do a lot of obscure late 60s/early 70s titles from major labels' catalogs, kinda like what Wounded Bird used to do but with much nicer packaging.

Seems like whenever Seger is asked in interviews why his early stuff isn't more widely available, he says something like "Punch doesn't think it's that important, and whatever Punch says, goes."

xxxpost dear birdistheword: a helpless friend (not me, I swear) really digs the mono "RGM" except tone arm x dead air don't suit playlist he's making, wants to know if you or anybody can rec. a transfer on YouTube w/o dead air (cos he can't be arsed to find it himself, so I'm enabling/passing along request, thanks for your consideration and the link above, which is fine with me).
