I need to search for more. Gregory, besides Arthur Blythe's albums on Columbia and India Navigation (by the ways, my favorite one is The Grip (India Navigation, 1977)) please check the following:
Black Arthur Blythe - Bush Baby (Adelphi, 1978) LP USA. I think this is the best Blythe's record. Linda Hill, a pianist and Arthur's companion in UGMAA, coined the nickname Black Arthur. As Arthur Blythe himseld remembers: we were drinking a little bit, and I was expressing my newfound understanding or newfound validation of black people's efforts. I said, "Yeah, that's really valid!" I was just talking and talking, and they were saying, "Okay, okay, we believe you". I just keep on... Then Linda Hill said, "Please, Black Arthur, will you shut up!". And it stuck. Bush Baby, Blythe's first studio album, was recorded in December of 1977 in trio with Bob Stewart (tuba) and Akhmed Abdullah (conga).

Alun pointed me at Lenox Avenue Breakdown recently and i've just noticed that there's a ton of Blythe's recorded work out there that can be had for pennies.
Even the rarer LPs are hardly going to break the bank.
Interesting that Bush Baby was recorded by Bob Blank as I have a few other records he produced / engineered. One is Sun Ra Lanquidity and the others are dance records by the likes of Leroy Burgess, Fonda Rae & Randy Muller.

Sztiv, to my knowledge, Lanquidity is the only LP having the Number of the Beast; its catalog # is PJ 666 :-)
