I see that the Inside The Dream Syndicate Volume 1: Day of Niagara (1965) is going to get a vinyl re-issue on the (re-launched) Table Of The Elemenents label at some point. See the catalogue:

The new company was only founded in May 2025, with an address in Northampton (UK, not MA).
https://find-and-update.company-informa ... 0/officers, there's a kickstarter at https://www.tableoftheelements.co.uk/ so it's all a bit speculative - the guy running it was a partner in the old label.

I doubt I'll fork out for this again, unless the sound quality is improved, which is unlikely. 180g vinyl seems like overkill, but 1500 (25 x 60) copies should go quickly if it's ever released.

Spot-on. The art-performative blurb and Kickstarter campaign had me running for the hills.

There is an audio glitch on the cd version, the reel to reel is slowed down momentarily, will that be fixed...
The kickstarter has been running 2 weeks and raised £3,475. It has 3 weeks to raise another £16,000+

I went to the Table of the Elements relaunch event a few weeks ago at the Garden Cinema in Covent Garden.

The centrepiece was a screening of the Tony Conrad documentary, followed by a livestream interview with Tyler Hubby standing opposite 56 Ludlow St.

Unfortunately my braincells were slightly depleted by the earlier imbibing of LAGER, otherwise I would have had the presence of mind to ask during the Q&A: if even the likes of Bob Dylan have to resort to copyright extension releases to prevent unreleased historic recordings entering the public domain in Europe, what's stopping labels from releasing EU-only editions of the Theatre of Eternal Music recordings in circulation? I'm amazed this hasn't happened.

fundraising fell short of target

And that’s a bit of understatement. I think they got 25% last time I looked. I think they’ll have to just release albums as they can afford to. Hopefully with less of the hyperbolé.
