don't answer this if it puts you in a bad position, but what happened with the 24-24 rights? I came across that bootleg you mentioned upthread a few years ago, I thought it was an original and nearly wet my pants.
btw, first thought is another masterful job.

I note that the Springfield project is listed in the 'more by Arthur' bit in the liner notes … can't wait for that.

I just got the 3xLP in the mail but there were no liner notes and that doesn't seem right for a Soul Jazz release...

Soul Jazz shop in London will have copies the week after next, and of course on-line via almost everybody.

It's cool how the two main "Springfield" mixes sort of mirror each other too, in terms of that knotty cello (and voice?) and trombone harmony showing up late in the Arthur mix, and then popping up isolated right off the top of the DFA one (right after the drum-machine intro EQ'd all "Soon"-like). I like how the lyrics on the Arthur mix are the sexy ones, vs. the more toned-down stoic ones about riding a rollercoaster and being Superman who's never been kissed on the DFA one.
Also, hearing Arthur announce the end of the reel halfway through the first mix, combined with the sounds going on around that moment, is quite the psychedelic surprise; I love all those off-mic comments that lurk in the background in his music ("Hit it on the appropriate line!" "Punch in!" "[phone rings]"). (Yes, I am completely smitten.)

Whenever anyone asks me about an underrated or underappreciated artist of the past, without pause I say Arthur Russell.
