Does anyone have a copy of this? Is it any good? I know it has a version of "Little Miss Laurie" on it, which I like a lot from The Skipper.

    Is that on Black Jazz as well?

    Nope, its on daagnim records. I'm not sure how it is but I'm kinda skeptical, it looks like its from the late 70's or early 80's.

    I really really like the 2 LPs on Blackjazz so when i found a copy for cheap
    at amoeba 3 years ago i bought it and was very disapointed.
    As boring as you could expect from a 80's jazz record (yes i know there are exceptions)
    Never gave a second listen. I' ll try to find it in my collection and let you know if it still so boring.
    But it's in any case as good as the blackjazz albums he did.

    Yeah, I was already expecting that because every seller until now did not tell anything about It, just an grading description. Always makes me wonder...
    Thanks man !

    So i found my copy and gave it new listen. As boring as i remembered. Too much cheesy vibraphone.
    If you like Henry Franklin you should rather check his "Tribal dance" record on Catalyst if you don't know it yet.
    Great, great record.
