Dwight Trible - Horace

Interesting to see several events about Paul Robeson. Currently reading a new book about him (and listening to him while I type). Seems there is some renewed interest in his life. I will be in Nice. Probably too far to visit but a great program indeed.

Let's put it here

Some bass clarinet

Unless you pay by PayPal.

They have been touring for months now. I saw them In Melbourne. One of my best concert visits ever. But not everyone agreed, the guy from the Guardian found it boring. He must live a very exciting life.

You are not alone, I paid for the Mobley set in February.

Do like them a lot but still don't think it's a good label name.

I don't think I can get used to "ezz-thetics"... What a horrible brand name.

Is this important? Are later releases worse on average?

Thanks, unfortunately they do not operate down under. The ones I get from office supply shops are very flimsy and break easily.

We Get Requests was one of my first jazz albums. A dealer played it when I selected my first hifi system 25 years ago. These days, I occasionally play and enjoy Peterson's MPS recordings.

Don't know where to store them but I am in.

I have not been able to find quality replacement jewel cases for years (like those with the CD label).

Release of the year for me. Congrats!

Art Pepper + Eleven (MoFi reissue) Steve Hoffman wrote on his forum that this MoFi release sounds like the master tapes. Certainly sounds great!

Yes, I made a mistake. The Adele Sebastian album sits next to the Jesse Sharps album in my record collection Excel sheet. The latter was indeed reissued by Outernational Sounds, while the former was reissued by Presch Media GmbH (PMG) in 2016. Contrary to my earlier post, there is no indication that these companies are related. I just mixed information from two albums in my Excel sheet, which both feature Adele Sebastian. Sorry. The photo below shows the PMG release on the left and the Pure Pleasure on the right. I don't have an original at hand to judge which one reflects the colors of the original better. I just compared the sound quality. It is actually pretty close. If anything, the Pure Pleasure release sounds slightly more transparent. But it could be just my imagination (confirming my prior that the Pure Pleasure release must sound better). Both sound good.

Both Outernational Sounds and Pure Pleasure Records have been reissuing selected Nimbus West Records albums. I have Adele Sebastian's Desert Fairy Princess from both labels. The photo below is taken from the back cover of the Outernational Sounds (a brand of Presch Media GmbH) reissue: Based on this information, it seems to be legit. However, the production quality (cover art) of the Pure Pleasure Records reissue is superior. From memory, the sound quality is dramatically superior but I am happy to check again tonight. I bought the Outernational reissue before the Pure Pleasure became available. Very happy to see more Nimbus West reissues on Pure Pleasure.
