I'm positive that I've seen the Braxton on vinyl (at Tower!), but I held out for the CD, and now that it's out, I'm holding out for the next Universal label sale so I can get it for $7 or $8. If it was on an indie, I'd pop for full price (as I did with the Sharrock and Silva BYG things on Sunspots), but a major can afford me the damn discount. You probably wouldn't have seen the CD listed by Forced Exposure because it's not like Universal is promoting the Fuel 2000 reissues. Did you see mention of their releases by Dewey Redman or Dollar Brand & Gato Barbieri anywhere? Bruce will probably list the Braxton sooner or later... I know he's carrying them. I thought the Silva was surprisingly varied and often quite brilliant, BTW. Listened to all two-and-a-quarter hours last night. The Sharrock is the lease-breaker it was always reputed to be. Glad to have it; not sure I'll go back to it much. But that's true of 'Black Woman,' too. Speaking of which, if there are any diligent archivists or Silva freaks out there: I noted that there are two musicians on the disc who are not credited in the listings. One, a pianist with the initials 'BF,' I'd figured to be Bobby Few (the rest of Lacy's then-quintet is on the session), and that was confirmed by the annoucements at the end. But can anyone confirm whether the bassist with the initials 'BG' is BYG house bassman Beb Guerin? That's all I can come up with, unless Barry Guy was also lurking about.

This is of course a reissue of the famous BYG LP (from late '60s). Does anybody know if the record was also reissued (LP) on Get Back and Charly?
