I enjoyed it as well, cool to hear musicians talk about what it meant to them and break it down.
-
Red Garland - All Mornin' Long; Phil Woods/Don Byrd - Young Bloods; Phil Woods - Woodlore; Rollins Plays for Bird; George Wallington - Jazz for the Carriage Trade
I need to spend more time with a couple of these sessions, like Elmo Hope's Informal Jazz and both of the Mobleys.
I'll have to give both the Mobleys another spin. I'm a huge fan, but in the past didn't find the two Prestige albums that inspiring.
-
I bought several from the mono releases and like the sound quite a bit. I have a preference for their older 45 rpm versions which sound a bit better, but that's not a knock against the new ones.
I have a bunch of original Prestige/New Jazz (the former on the older NYC and later NJ address fireworks label) and none of them play as quiet as these reissues.
I'm also really happy that for the stereo releases they are releasing some material that doesn't usually get a vinyl reissue like all the Booker Ervin titles. I just wish Space Book was amongst them!

don't notice this on my old Manhattan-era CD. Wonder if they used a faulty copy of the tapes.
It's not a tape issue. You can hear Kenny Burrell play his lick exactly one revolution ahead of whats coming next. It is very, very low in volume almost buried in the noise floor. But on high sensitivity speakers you can make it out. Since Mule is the softest song on side one that is where it's most obvious.
Other than that I like the way the reissue sounds, it has really nice transient snap and dynamics.
that sounds like print through on the tape.
Very interesting, that makes sense. They have a photo of the master tape on their website and speaking to one of the company producers that is the one they used. I wonder if it is something that occurred recently with the tape?
Ok I hear it on my copy too; never noticed it before...gee thanks for pointing it out so I can be annoyed each time I play this record now
At least I can only really hear it on "mule"...now I'm curious to hear an original pressing.
Byron Morris & Unity - Blow Thru Your Mind - (EPI, US orig)
been reacquainting myself with this one lately, still holds up brilliantly
That's a great record; I believe my copy is a later issue.
I had a stereo blue label RVG stamped pressing. It sounded good, but those blue label pressings usually have way too much surface noise for me.

Art Blakey "the big beat" (blue note, 47 w 63rd DG stereo) a minty copy found for cheap recently
Kenny Burrell "midnight blue" (music matters, blue note) a good test for my new Paradigm speakers
Guru Guru "hinten" (ohr, Germany) digging up some old vinyl I have not played in at least 15 years
I'm curious what you think about Midnight Blue if you have heard an original pressing as well. I was pretty pissed to find out there is a pressing error on the Music Matters reissue, you can hear ghosting or pre-echo on the left channel, on side 1. Really annoying and obvious on Mule.

Another reduction - $55 shipped in the US.
-
Make this $60 shipped in the US.
-
Most of the discs were only played once or a handful of times, they are in excellent condition.
Asking $65 including shipping within the USA.

Thank you for that story Chuck, L-R-G was a good session. Any other stories about Rudy commenting on the music he recorded?
-
Larry it might not be any issue on your end. I've been having some issues here and there with Yahoo Groups for a couple of years. The major error where I could only see new posts via email and my Gmail associated with a Yahoo ID blocked me from reading archived posts (telling me I didn't have a Yahoo ID), but it only happened with one particular group.
It seems like Yahoo have relegated their Groups to the sideline since most people made the transition to forums. I am going to take a guess that eventually Yahoo Groups will go the way of Geocities and those decades of posts disappearing into the digital ether.

Back when I started listening I associated his name with a certain style of jazz that I was likely to enjoy since he was the go to engineer for certain labels. For that alone my life is infinitely richer; sort of difficult to express in words.

I was following that auction myself; crazy!
I could not see any signatures on any of the photos provided; though I guess one could have asked the seller about that while the auction was current.
I'm happy with my "regular" nm first issue with red print and red "handwritten" styled label info. I also have a few different cd issues of this...certainly a cornerstone free jazz disc for me.
I was playing mine today and I noticed it has an 'ear' stamped in the dead wax; interesting finding. I usually don't see this mentioned for this album.
Does yours have it?

The other thing with cirrhosis, is once you have it, even minor traumas (ie "moderate" alcohol) can cause irrecoverable damage to what was once was an enormously resilient organ. With the increased cell turnover (damage/repair cycle) there is an increased chance of cell mutation, hence carcinoma.
According to this article he had stopped drinking by the time he played with Monk:
http://jazztimes.com/articles/16037-thelonious-monk-and-john-coltrane-evidence
Of course it could be that he meant "heavily."
Right, in my experience as a physician, 'stopped drinking' can mean just that. More detailed in depth questions need to be asked.

found a copy, in great shape! on ebay. it was not listed as mono in the description but I could tell from the photos it was.
Nice one, how does it sound in mono?
-
I have a Liberty stereo (Van Gelder in dead wax) and it plays quiet through out Love And Hate. There is a whooshing sound in the lead in groove, but that goes away when the music starts. IMO the Music Matters 45 rpm sounds better; less compression and sounds more open.
I would think that a Plasylite pressing without surface noise should exist? I have many that play reissue quiet.

Very informative and confirmed a lot of my suspicions. One thing that was not addressed, unless I missed it:
One of the reasons for placing the bass and piano in the center had to do with the fact that the ratio between center information vs. side information increases when you collapse a stereo signal to mono. So in such a situation, it makes sense to place the louder instruments that cut through off too the sides, and the quieter instruments that are more likely to get lost, i.e., the bass and piano, in the center. I am sure that this played a role in the thought process, in addition to the fact that bass and piano typically form the rhythmic and harmonic foundations in most jazz settings.
Also bass is usually summed to mono below a certain frequency in stereo lacquer cutting. So maybe Van Gelder had that in mind when placing the bass in the center? I agree with the author's conclusion from the comments section that from 1959 onwards I prefer the records in stereo. And I even like stereo on some of those early transitional sessions recorded in both mono and stereo.

I'd like to partake, download is fine. Thanks.

The Simpkins' book was the first Coltrane bio I'd read. It still holds a special place for me.
-
Gonna be good. Hate the sound of the early cd.
I think the TOCJ-4143 disc sounds very good
-
Didn't see this one mentioned- Sun Ra Outer Spaceways Incorporated got a reissue by ORG Music for Record Store Day. I prefer the original Black Lion artwork, but I'm happy to own a copy on vinyl.
-
Tina Brooks - True Blue
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles
Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
I like lists that force to be narrowed down to a small number. It took me some time to come up with those four, and there was great deliberation between either Ascension and Maiden Voyage for the respective musicians above.

Nothing sounds as real as analog done right, and I wish it weren't that way.
