New Ginger Baker Airforce reissues on German MiG label

I recently saw mention of this upcoming video and CD series at the Organissimo Jazz Forums:

MIG Music announces an exciting series of releases from the rich legacy of one of the most significant drummers in rock history: Ginger Baker. | MIG

The complete 01/03/2024 press release:

"Under the banner of the “Ginger Baker Archive,” we are thrilled to present music lovers worldwide with the first-ever complete release of the 1970 Beat Club recordings by the groundbreaking “Ginger Baker’s Airforce,” titled “What A Day,” scheduled for the end of May.

The next step, slated for the end of July, will be the CD release of Airforce II, featuring previously unreleased bonus and alternative recordings in various forms and contents, mirroring the album’s original release in countries like England and Germany with different tracks. Many more releases are in the pipeline and already in preparation.

The MIG team takes pride in collaborating on these projects with esteemed experts such as Peter Brkusic and Johannes Scheibenreif from Vienna, along with other dedicated supporters. Unfortunately, Ginger’s catalog has been released in a partially careless and incomplete manner, and of unacceptable quality. We are determined to change this and restore Ginger to his rightful place in the history of rock music, with due respect and devotion."

 

Great news! Thank you.

 

I'll definitely be interested in these releases.

 

Sounds interesting hope they do these as they say correctly
