Yeesh would love those albums but no way am I paying that. Does anyone have any of the albums from the Artisan series?

I have the Billy Harper one and the Django one. Django I got on eBay for $60 which was lucky. It wasn’t listed as the artisan series and I saw the listing on a seller’s page that had other things I was bidding on.

They are really nice. Great packaging made by hand and screenprinted. Pressings sound great. Cut by KPG but mastered by François Lê Xuân. Price is definitely high though. I think Billy Harper is the only one they released as a “normal” release as well

This remastered mono version utilizes the actual master tapes and we get to hear the Arkestra in its cosmic mid-60s prime.

Pressed at RTI, Stoughton jacket and insert with liner notes by Clifford Allen.

Great price!

I pre-ordered this one with HHV a while back. Still waiting on the "official" announcement, but I've been VERY excited this one!

The Cosmic Myth releases are all absolutely top notch.
