So much I'd love to hear!

Everything on Treader is done with such care and attention to detail I'm sure it will sound (and look!) fantastic.
Perhaps a good place to start is their first release, Evan Parker with Birds featuring Evan playing with John, Ashley and field recordings of birds.
Treader is run by John Coxon and Ashley Wales who were (are?) Spring Heeled Jack (John also played in Spiritualized for a long while).
Very tempted by some of those Company reissues as well, but already very over spent on vinyl lately.
Picked this up from my local record store the other day. Unfortunately of dubious origin but sounds good. Just noticed some distortion on Side 2 - definitely a needle drop then but such a stupidly rare album that I can live with that.
Paul, thanks for that as that was the one I was considering adding to the order for Monoceros particularly as it was dedicated to Steve Lacy.
The Mike Taylor trio certainly is a great album. I bet your heart missed a beat when you saw it, if like me your initial thought is it could be an original.
For those interested it is also available to stream on Quboz and Tidal, taken from the CD that was released around 2000 ( second hand copies are fairly rare and expensive). I believe the CD was copied from master tapes - according to interviews over the years with Giles Peterson et al.
The CD is indeed fantastic - one of the best quality recordings of the era I've heard. The sheer presence is fantastic!
Also, 'Pendulum' is an exceptional sounding CD: sadly, Universal were none too pleased with the release by Sunbeam and ensured it was pulled after around 1,000 copies were produced. However, there has been a more recent press release indicating that Decca may finally release this on vinyl
Great news I’m in for all three of those, let’s hope they do a nice job. The reissue Collier’s Deep Dark Blue Centre on CD was a needle drop and dull as ditch water.
