Just so you don’t miss it, I thought I’d let you know I’m selling this original pressing, never-been-played rare David Murray record on e-Bay.

It’s a bit of an experiment. I’m dipping my toe into the water of ‘Long Tail’ back-catalogue, otherwise-unavailable releases. This gem of a record had to be first out of the starting gate.

For now, eBay will do the trick. I may develop this further once initial experiments prove successful (or otherwise) — and I’ll let you know what else I make available here.

I’m also testing out the eBay embedded widget while I’m at it. What do you think?

Where possible readers of The Wireless will get to listen to the music I’m selling. A track from this one is pending. Give me a day or three.

But rest assured I will only put up for sale anything that is genuinely worth having. There is so much recorded music in the world — and less than 5% of it is available for sale anywhere in the world in any format.

There’s a good story behind my involvement with this record, and you can read about it on my New Music Strategies website.

But if you want to read more in great depth about this record, visit Professor Tim Wall’s blog, Wall of Sound — where he not only discusses the album and the conditions of its original production and release in some detail, he actually goes through the record track by track, devoting an entire blog post / essay to each song.

Original pressing, unplayed. Absolute hens teeth stuff.
