Exactly. Luckily I've plenty of reasons like that. (LIke you, I suppose ...) BTW, this one is one of quite few records (but including a couple of others from those Savoy twofers) where I bought a NM second copy (when I came across them very cheaply) just in case I'd ever wear out the copy in my collection.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yusef Lateef ------Live at Ronnie Scott's ------( Gearbox/Ronnie Scott's) January 1966 date with the locals.  Sound is adequate but the playing is way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homefromtheforest Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Hank Mobley "the jazz message" (Savoy, DG promo orig). Â Clean original copy I found almost a year ago for $50...had a small skip when I first played it but I just adjusted my anti-skating and it played perfectly! Â Vinyl....what a miserable beast :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to know your views as I'm on the fence with this one. How does interplay with "the locals" work? Brief samples I heard suggested to my ears that it wasn't great 20 hours ago, Leeway said: Has that beguiling hand-crafted, DIY quality to it, pulls you in.    i I think that sums up my thoughts on that LP perfectly.

Much as I like Yusef, if the sound is so-so then absolutely no point splurging on vinyl for this one from my perspective. Especially for such minimal running times.

Clunky Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 The music on the Lateef is excellent . The sound is no better or worse than other recordings from Ronnie's by Les Tompkins. My pressing seems fine - just a few possible pops but I've not listened closely enough to determine whether these reflect the pressing or tape source .

sidewinder Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Aha - Les Tompkins recordings. Valuable as these are, the sound on all of the sessions I have heard has been passable at best. Still, good that this is out there. Spinning this one for the first time in over 20 years. Good Winter music ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand the Emanem website correctly, this has been mostly, but not completely, reissued on CD, making the vinyl indispensable.

I doubt the "stomach bump" is getting reissued.  Yeah, I like this, a roomful of geniuses making idiosyncratic music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
