The Dave Pike Set's GOT THE FEELIN' was actually released on Relax Records
in 1969. The MPS releases are as follows:
1969 - Noisy Silence - Gentle Noise
1969 - Four Reasons
1970 - Live at the Philharmonie
1970 - Infra Red
1971 - Album
1972 - Salomao
I got this list from an amazing new book/discography of MPS called
"Jazzin' The Black Forest," just published by Crippled Dick Hot Wax.
In tandem with the book's release is a new compilation CD/LP called
BETWEEN OR BEYOND THE BLACK FOREST, which I have not yet heard but I
would guess is excellent. (The book itself also comes with a different
CD of rare and unreleased tracks.)
Gilles Peterson has compiled three collections of MPS tracks in the
TALKIN' JAZZ series on Talkin' Loud records. Also, Motor Music of
Germany has begun an ambitious MPS reissue project and I believe some
of the Dave Pike albums mentioned above have been re-released as part
of that series. The best place I know of to track down those Motor
reissues is Dusty Groove, http://dustygroove.com.
Hope that helps.
