Who is Lol Coxhill, you may ask. He is a man. He is an improvisor. He blows
horns. I tracked down references to at least 28 releases over the last 22
years. 

To be honest...  I haven't actually heard a lot of Lol Coxhill, but
I'm trying to track down one of his earlier releases (or a tape of it)
largely because of some other players on there. The one I'm looking for 
appears to be a double lp, and I think is backed by the band Delivery, 
which would have had (I think) Robert Wyatt on drums, Phil Miller on guitar, 
Steve Miller on keyboards, and Roy Babbington on bass. I'm also looking for
the Delivery lp. I've heard a live tape of the band from 1971 and they do
instrumental Phil Miller material that later turned up on Matching Mole and 
Hatfield and the North releases. So anyway, to kill time I could have spent 
working, I thought I'd pull together a discography list from data sources
I have handy. 

Coxhill was in the group Delivery from 1968-1970. The group usually had 
Pip Pyle on drums, but on "Ear of the Beholder" Robert Wyatt drums, and
the band backs Wyatt on his solo lp "The End of An Ear" also from 1970.
Coxhill was also in a band called DC and the MBs in 1971.

OTHER STUFF I HAVE MINIMAL DATA ON (comments are Bill Hsu's):

> Live at Wigmore Hall? (one side with a pianist,one side with a synth-player,
> the synth side is very nice; this might be on Random Radar)

> Johnny Rondo Duo with David Holland (so-so; this is not bassist Dave Holland)

is this the same release as: JOHNNY RONDO DUO PLUS MIKE COOPER
 1980       GER       FMP                       SAJ 29 (RE 82)

> Bald Soprano Companion (*very* uneven)
