Beim Buddeln nach dem Thema Buddeln (nach Schallplatten) kommt man
zu Zeitschriften (Mint: vom ostholsteinschen Gerümpel- bzw. Flohmarkt-
Händler bis zu Götz Bühler … lieber Götz, Du bist schon gut aufgestellt,
aber was jetzt kommt …)
Beim Buddeln im Netz habe ich auch Mats Gustafsson (kenne ich aus
diversen Konzerten) gefunden, und der erzählt Folgendes (seine Krankheit
nennt er „Discaholic“): https://matsgus.com/discaholic_corner/
„Have you got any wild tales tracking down records?
I found a record on eBay years ago, a British record by Howard Riley
with Barry Guy called Discussions. This record was made in only 99 copies
because of a tax thing in England and it’s a bit of a holy grail in
UK free jazz history. This guy in Lithuania had a copy on eBay and I got
in touch with him outside of eBay so that I could talk to him directly.
And he said to put an extremely high bid in and then I would get it and
then we could talk about how to do it.
He knew who I was, and this is one great advantage of being a musician:
some people maybe even like or at least know about you. So what we agreed
was that I would come up and play a solo concert in Lithuania and the fee
would be this record. So we made a deal, I went up there, played a solo concert
and got the record and was very happy. It was a very happy moment in my life.“
