Oh, I see. Well, I enjoyed what I listened to as well, although I found that quite a little went a long way...

Two quite recent examples of vinyl oddities:
Swedish Azz – Jazz På Svenska (Not Two Records, 2010). This platter from Poland was recorded live at Fasching, Stockholm, 27 October 2008 by Mats Gustafsson (alto sax, bariton sax, electronics), Per-Åke Holmlander (tuba, trombon-cimbasso), Kjell Nordeson (vibraphone), Dieb13 (turntables), and Eric Carlsson (drums, percussion). I saw this group three years ago in Moscow and they sounded great, but that's not the point. The point is that this their LP has diameter 11" (yes, eleven inches), and I never seen any other example of such size. Second LP is Arto Lindsay & Paal Nilssen-Love – Scarcity (PNL, 2014) from Norway, and I call it semi-LP because its Side A plays at 33 ⅓ RPM but Side B plays at 45 RPM! Recorded live at Audio Rebel’s Quintavant, Rio De Janeiro on 2 July 2013.

11" is unusual indeed: there're a lot of videos on YouTube by this group that I'm curious to listen to. if you have the Lp, what about it? I have a double record by Albert Ayler on Hat Musics 3500 which plays 33 rpm first LP and 45 rpm second one. from Switzerland. Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

Dottore, besides this 11" LP they also have two 10" albums worth to be checked. The music is a try to re-invent old Swedish jazz recordings with a help of modern expressive means and language. Dieb13 has a bunch of ancient Swedish platters, put them of his turntables, and the group either plays over them or uses certain framgment as a starting point for its own improvisation. That's interesting although I have to confess that sometimes these old recordings themselves sound more authentic and interesting than their "modern development".

Do you know the 'original' JAZZ PA SVENSKA, Nick, the 60s recording by Jan Johannson. It reinterpreted traditional Swedish folk music in jazz and became a very influential record. Nils Landren and Esbjorn Svennson continued the experiment on ACT Records in the early-2000s with LAYERS OF LIGHT and SWEDISH JAZZ MODERN. All rather 'polite' records and probably not to everyone's taste, but I enjoy them now and then. The whole idea is almost an ECM record before ECM existed.

Yes, Alun, I know this Jan Johansson's album, and the title of the above Swedish Azz's album is an explicit allusion to it. As for Esbjorn Svensson, I attended a gig of his trio in the end of May 2008 in Moscow. Apparently this was the last concert of their European tour. In two weeks Esbjorn drowned the Baltic Sea. Esbjorn, Dan and Magnus signed my copy of EST Plays Monk (Superstudio Gul, 1996) CD. Very elegant and delicate interpretations of Monk's music.

I do realize that the record is a hoax but I like both the story and the music. It's not a bad record -- funny, I'd always thought it was Henry Kaiser-related. Glad to know those behind the hoax are even MORE obscure.

Glad to know those behind the hoax are even MORE obscure. Perhaps certain obscurity of the Yo Miles! Project is caused by their rather obscure decision to release two latest recordings (Sky Garden and Upriver) in SACD format only:-)

Jazz Work Shop – Mezare Israel YekabtzenuI think this would qualify as legitimately rare (prior to reissue in 2014) Only 2 original copy sold on ebay according to popsike. No idea how many copies were pressed. "East meets west on this long-lost and super rare 1973 jazz album from Israel. Headed by Albert Piamenta, 'The Jazz workshop' was a group of jazz pioneers from the Middle East who sought to make the connection between the countries of their up-bringing and the hardcore New-York jazz sound of the 60's. Druze, Arab and Jewish folk compositions interpreted in a deep, mystical yet thumping manner, making this an absolute gem for jazz collectors and dj's alike." soundsoftheuniverse.com/sjr/product/the-jazz-workshop-mezare-israel-yekabtzenu
