Heh, heh! I almost can't believe I'd live to see a Lol Coxhill
discography :-)

I thought I had a decent Coxhill collection ;-). I don't know of any
of the Delivery material.

But I thought I'd fill in 2 items not on your list:

As a leader:
Coxhill, Lol - Termite One                           (Bruce's Fingers 1990, CA)
Also plays on:
Company - Fictions                                                (Incus 0, LP)

The Termite tape is a live date co-led w/ a bunch of people. The
recording is off the soundboard and the mix is a little muddy. But
the music is really good. Bill might do more justice to a "review".

Here are the long listings:

Comments: spoken words from Improvisation: Its Nature And Practice In Music   
          by Derek Bailey.                                                     

I'm not sure if he is on other Company albums. Bill or Richard would
probably know better.
