ESP-Disk is Back
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
In the early 1960s, Bernard Stollman started the iconoclastic music label ESP-Disk. Over the next decade he put out records by Albert Ayler, Charles Manson, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Ornette Coleman, Timothy Leary, and The Fugs, to name just a few. Now, after a 30-year hiatus, Mr. Stollman has brought ESP-Disk back into business.

Wow, what a character. ESP-Disk has been my favorite label since I first discovered it 30 years ago. I am glad to know he is still alive and doing business again. There goes my retirement money.
