@reubent I’m sure you’ve checked the usual online sources - looks tough. Called our LRS and they’re also out. If you haven’t already, ask plaid room if they have a scratch and dent copy. I’ve got a couple of RSD titles that way.
@bkeske That Mendelssohn one of my favorites. I have 2 or 3 different versions including the film score from the Woody Allen movie (which is excellent). Do you have a favorite version?
That is probably my favorite….that I have…James. It is also the most complete. Other versions I have are condensed snipits, including Szell/Cleveland.

WTH? Somehow I missed the RSD drop... again. If anyone happened to get an extra copy of "Sweet Relief", or know a source that still has one in stock at MSRP, please let me know. Don't want to pay the flipper prices on eBay.
Love this record, and bought it on CD when it was originally released. Would love to have it on vinyl.
Oh, and Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there...
One of my top ten albums of the last decade. Peter Buck on guitar, Glen Kotchie on drums, Tucker Martine recording made in Portland. How can you go wrong?
arthur blythe "basic blythe" - if you've ever wondered what a straightforward high quality jazz date would look like if a string quartet were also invited
I streamed Covet after your mention and liked what I heard. Also web searched and found Yvette Young is a self taught guitarist and fronts the band. The photo on the link shows her with the 7 string guitar, pretty cool! I can see getting blank stares at the mention of Math Rock…🤔
Covet, interesting sound James. I’d not heard the term Math Rock before.
yeah, I’m often met with blank stares or laughter when I use the term….
it’s a fairly recently evolved form of progressive rock
My favorite Math Rock bands are Plini (genius Eastern European fellow plays all the instruments on his records, incredible guitar player, influential, tip of the spear stuff) , Covet (discussed above), and Polyphia (two/twin? very fast but musical guitarists). Check them out if you don’t know them. They’ll keep you young.
another absolutely awesome band that’s sometimes described as math rock but also as jazz rock is Volto. They made, I think, one of the best instrumental albums of all time.
