The Get Back! reissues are actually licensed from Charly records, as are most BYG reissues you see today. And I'm pretty sure the AEoC two-fer was recently reissued by Charly, cuz it popped up in stores shortly after A Jackson In Your House was reissued on vinyl last year. It also has a "proper" BYG/Actuel cover, something that I can't say for the Don Cherry Mu two-fer that they put out in the mid-1990s.

Although to make this confusing, a bunch of BYG LPs just got reissued at a cheaper price on 180 gm vinyl, with the original artwork (no mention of a reissue lable anywhere), at the same time, and sometimes a few weeks before, the Get Back ones, so the copyright situation is kinda screwy still.

Monkey Pockie Boo also just came out on CD on another Abraxas based Italian label called Sunspo ts. They appear to be the CD arm of the mainly vinyl-only Get Back.

As for the box set at hand, I bought the 6 LP box last Christmas, and have loved what I've heard that I hadn't before, but I haven't made it all the way through it. It's pretty sprawling.

I heard something about Thurston Moore getting pissed off as he found out the artists weren't getting payed after he'd already done a lot of the compiling. I also read something amusing about his interest in free jazz arising from an initial combined exposure to free jazz and the sexual practice of blumpies. But maybe thats all untrue - I hear that happens on the internet sometimes.

Just got this off Amazon from a U.K. third party. It was only $8.00, and it's an amazing, life affirming listen. My God, this Dave Burrell track "Echo" is a fucking monster!!

Oops

Dave Burrell is worth bigging up twice tbf!

There were a number of titles related to this including the 3cd box going cheap in FOPP at Xmas. So, sorry I didn't find this thread. I think I did pass that information on elsewhere on thsi board.
I got the 3cd box and a 2cd of Art Ensemble of chicago. Wish I'd got more.

May still be some titles there possibly, worth a look. I think the 3cd was either £8 or £13 and the 2cd £5.

"Blumpies"?? Wth is that? I'm loathe to do a Google searh. Any idea what it is?

Nevermind, i found out. And TM, you are one sick puppy.😬

appears to be a portmanteau word, guess I'll leave it at that.
Other than to add I just saw reference to a Princeton Blumpie involving a 3rd person.

But do wonder how accurate this portrayal of TM's tastes are. Seems like an odd detail to include, actually reminds me of Byron Coley's reviews for Forcedeposure.
