“Mysteries/Shades” to be re-released in the UK on May 6, 2013

Leave a reply

“Mysteries / Shades” will be re-released as a double CD in the UK by BGO Records on May 6, 2013.

“Founded in 1987, BGO Records is an independent reissue label specialising in classic highly collectable recordings of groups, singers and instrumentalists from the fifties through to the eighties. (…) UK distribution is by Universal Music Group & Proper Music distribution.”

Re-released in 2009, “Fort Yawuh / Death and the Flower” are also available from the same label.

Both re-releases are available from bgo-records.com for £9.99.

Interestingly, “Mysteries / Shades” have already been re-released in Europe by Impulse Records in 2011 and are still available. The new release by BGO Records is supposed to include “extensive new liner notes”.

Thanks to Jon for the information!

Update (May 4, 2013). It looks like this particular re-release will be available in other European countries as well (The Netherlands – thanks to Cees for the link – and Germany, at least).

“Hymns/Spheres” to be re-released on CD in November 2012

It looks like ECM will finally re-release “Hymns/Spheres” on CD on November 30, 2012 in Germany (December 3, 2012 in the UK). This is excellent news, as “Hymns/Spheres” has only been available on vinyl and as a single-CD version entitled “Spheres”, which included only four of the eleven original tracks.

Let’s hope that “Concerts” will follow soon!

Thanks to Nick for the heads up!

Update (November 28, 2012). “Hymns/Spheres” is now listed with a release date of January 11, 2013 on Amazon Germany.
