I was bidding on Loose Joints "Tell You (Today)" and it ended up going
for $52 on E-bay!
Regarding reissues, there have been a couple of good ones lately, the
Soul Jazz "World Of..." was the most immediate for DJ fodder with a
range of the disco / Loose Joints type stuff, a good range and some of
the older Sleeping Bag records stuff. But one I should have got sooner
is the amazing "Calling Out of Context" on Audika, also avail. on CD...
it's just so brilliant and moving, this one is rhythmic, but not
necessarily dancefloor stuff. Here is review from pitchfork I found
pretty descriptive:

It's on CD and "limited edition" vinyl (whatever that means anymore...
what a useless term), avail thru forced exposure among others

Of course as prolific as he was, there will always be collector stuff
on eBay, but I even heard there might be a reissue of "World of Echo"
so don't break the bank on that one quite yet :) I think Sleeping
Bag also re-issued 24/24 music... ?
peace
