    Guitar Records, Japan (Plattenhandel, Social-Media-Post und Webshop): „ECM 55周年記念 特集“ (Auswahl von ECM-Gitarrenalben)

    Announcement by the Japanese record dealer Guitar Records of a sale marking 55 years of ECM (the renowned European jazz label), with original LPs by ECM guitarists including Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, John Abercrombie, Ralph Towner and Terje Rypdal. The list also includes “Herbert Joos - Harry Pepl - Jon Christensen / Cracked Mirrors / ECM 1356”. A dealer's offer, not a canon: it shows that the album was still on sale in Japan in 2024 as a sought-after original LP. According to the page, the sale was set for Friday, 16 August (year not stated, derived from the 2024 anniversary).

    Instagram (@ecm_vinylcollector): „Cracked Mirrors“ (Pepl/Joos/Christensen, ECM 1356)

    Short review of “Cracked Mirrors” on the Instagram account of an ECM (the renowned European jazz label) collector. The album, it says, is the most idiosyncratic of the ECM records of its time and hard to classify; Pepl breaks the material into a thousand pieces.

    If you're Harry Pepl, you bust it into a thousand pieces and shoot it into the ether.

    Cracked Mirrors … is easily the oddest of the bunch, a nearly unclassifiable record.
