Beware of boots

[efrendv]

I was stupid enough to get the Ayler box set. So far, "Bells" sounds like shit.

From the ESP-Disk site:

Known Bootlegs:
The following products are bootlegs. They are NOT, as claimed, the complete ESP-DISK' recordings, and they are not authorized by ESP-DISK'. They contain outmoded and technically inferior versions of certain of these works.

Authentic, digitally remastered verrsions of these recordings are available on ESP-DISK'. NOTHING IS, for example, contains over 20 minutes of previously unreleased material.

ESP-DISK' is taking appropriate legal action to protect its proprietary rights and those of its artists. Thank you for your support.

With kind regards,
ESP

I've learned to beware of Lone Hill releases generally, having bought one or two that were way not up to snuff sonically.
