I heard some tapes with John McLaughlin many many years ago. Has there been any hint that these may be officially released? as It's possible that Johnny Mac may be more relaxed about them being released properly. I was fortunate enough to hear the Nine to the Universe material being played by Alexis Korner on his R1 show and then strangely find it in a Junk shop soon after. I left behind Tone Float.... (before Charity shops hit the High St).
