ROVA "THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS." (MOERS MUSIC, 1979)

This is the start of a series of early ROVA albums I'm planning to post.
But for some I would like to have good scans (if possible...) - so your help would be appreciated.
The scans for this post has been provided by mew23 - my thanks goes to him.

Does anyone have scans (or links leading to good scans) for:
https://www.discogs.com/Rova-Saxophone-Quartet-Cinema-Rovat%C3%A9/release/1151710
Scans for the next two are especially wanted:

Larry Ochs Sax & Drumming Core

Hi guys, back again.  Sometime ago I shared a recording I made in Berkeley of  Satoko Fujii and

Carla Khilsted during a performance. In the second set they joined   Larry Ochs and his drumming group. You'll also remember that I f***ed up the reocording of Larry's group. Well,  I've found in dime a performance of about six months earlier with Larry in a similar group, Sans Carla.  You'll note that survivor69 who posted the original torrent has allowed it to be published elsewhere, thus this post.

Gus.

========================

Risonanze 2007_2008 Festival

Recorded at Teatro Fondamenta Nuove, Venezia (Italy), on monday 12 November 2007.

Larry Ochs, tenor and sopranino saxophones;

Scott Amendola, drums;

Donald Robinson, drums;

Natsuki Tamura, trumpet;

Satoko Fujii, piano & Korg Orgy MS2000 keyboard.

Here is the new project by avantgarde reedman Larry Ochs. His Sax & Drumming Core combo is here augmented by two japanese musicians. Ochs himself define this project as "wild chamber music", supposedly dedicated to Korean music, but don't ask me where you can hear that. It's the sort of music that never sticks into my mind, bordering with the improvised avantgarde (the fist track is the hardest to go through, in that sense), but I don't actually find it that far from Canterbury music or british jazz in general, and it does have many moments of sheer melodic intesity. The above would have sense in italian, I am not that sure in english!

I left the very interesting radio introduction in ITALIAN as track00, with Ochs' bio - it runs for 4'41", you can skip downloading it if you don't understand italian! There are no broadcast glitches - everything is fine.

except for track07, Nothing Stopped But The Future, no track name was announced. Check flac fingerprints for track sequence.

running time: 74'25" (without italian radio intro)

FM radio broadcast by "Il Cartellone - Radio 3 Suite Jazz", Radio 3 RAI [third channel of Italian national radio], on tuesday 18 November 2008, 20:40 hours.

note that due to disk space limitations, I will not be able to keep seeding this torrent for a long time - I will abandon the seed in a few days, maybe remove from HD these wav/flac files, and keep only my own CDR. Too many things to upload. In case of seeders going missing, you are anyhow welcome to try and ask for additional torrenting...

FFP included - if uploaded on other trackers or reseed (and you are welcome to do both), please include original infofile. Also, if not satisfied with my offering, you are welcome to remaster/retrack/whatever and repost, but please always clearly state where/who did you have this material from and keep original infofile.
