I have an original from "back in the day" which was not cheap. Anyway, is there more info on this like a press release? Just wondering if you had any details while we wait to find out about distribution.

Yikes! I like it but not that much.
Damn I want that but 52 pounds shipping to the US seems insane.The Tubby Hayes box going cheap if anyone missed it
Tubby Hayes - The Fontana Albums - LP, Vinyl Music -
TUBBY HAYES | THE FONTANA RECORDINGS 1961–1969 featuring Tubby Hayes’ Fontana albums as a leader. 11 LP deluxe double walled linen cloth bound edged box set | 180g Optimal Pressings | Remastered from the original tape masters | Original Artwork [*except LP2 is hybrid original artwork] | Limited...soulbrother.com
It's full price again now, looks like they pulled the offer...Amazon.co.uk have it for £158 tho. Don't think I need it at that price!
Remember, it is a very heavy box (I have one)! It costs a bundle to ship, particularly if it is packed so it gets there in decent condition.
That's still pretty reasonable for an 11 Lp set

As for the Sun Bear box. word from emails AAA original tapes 250$ + shipping and tax. I’ll let people know when I know about retailers. Please prepare your significant others for this expense. Maybe buy them flowers or a special treat before you break the new regarding this significant investment. I cannot be held responsible for the repercussions of purchasing this.

2 New 'lost' Don Cherry sessions are being released soon. They are on the Blank Forms label which I am not familiar with. There is also a book being released looking at Don and his wife's life with notes from their daughter/step-daughter Neneh Cherry (I NEVER MADE THE CONNECTION!!!!!)
The book/magazine is available on Amazon UK for just over £13.

Its an unusual one within his discography though as he sticks to a bop-orientated theme rather than the more Eastern sounds that you typically link him to. Really enjoyable album though, Lateef focuses on the saxophone over a mix of instruments (although he does use a double-reed arghul and flute a couple of times).

It's interesting how we come at these things from different sides. I think, the first time I heard about Don Cherry was on hearing the story of how Neneh Cherry got into music. (I may have heard some of his stuff prior to that but the name didn't stick).
And if anyone missed the RSD Don Cherry release, it's available here cheap (£15). I can't believe I got it shipped from Spain, only. to have a local get it in and sell it for a discount.

The local, didn't used to stock much Jazz, mostly focused on rock / indie etc. but definitely started to get some good titles in

Agreed but note there is the Eastern vibe on some cuts. The title track for instance. I have the Verve Elite Edition of this because I never found an LP copy prior to the VEE series (I have all of those) that wasn't trashed. I ordered as soon as I saw the email. Dude was way ahead of his time at least from my perspective.
