mjazzg Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Subtitled "New York Section Composers of the 1970's" Some great music on this from Sam Rivers, Mary Lou Williams, Gil Evans, Milford Graves and Sunny Murray The Sunny Murray piece may be the stand out. It's credited to UMUM Quartet about which my initial searches finds nothing. Anyone know who they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Very nice, congrats. Never heard the VPI but have heard very good things about them. I use one of their RCMs and it is built like a tank, great quality. Had great fun listening to the Linn this afternoon amidst the blizzards. Best thing to ever come out of Scotland.. Adding a Radikal to LP12 really helped with the speed changes. Doesn’t do 78rpm though. Edited March 2, 2018 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find any credits for the Murray track though the short clip on the Smithsonian Folkways site does have tenor saxophone... of course the transfer is so bad it's hard to make an educated guess as to the participants.

Info that I think I got from the Lord discography: Middy Middleton - tenor sax; Edward Crockett - bass; Sunny Murray - drums; Philly Joe Jones - congas; Joe Lee Wilson - vocal; NYC, c. 1973 "This was originally recorded for the Creative Artist Program Record Edition by Desto Records." John Coltrane - Expression (Impulse). Nice original pressing that cost me all of a dollar in a junk shop in Bellingham, Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you enjoy your VPI better than I did mine... I hated that tonearm. I dreaded setting the needle down on the record, as I could see it wobble back and forth for a few seconds as the tonearm pivot settled. In theory, a needle is the optimal tonearm pivot. In practice, I just didn't like it. I also could never get the anti-skate set right. They tell you to twist the wires for anti-skate, but that was too course. I will say this, to make your life easier in setting the VTF and azimuth, get one of these: https://www.musicdirect.com/analog-accessories/soundsmith-counter-intuitive-for-vpi-tonearms It helped my sanity. And please don't get me wrong - VPI is a highly respected turntable and I would never tell anyone that it's not a great turntable. I just didn't like it at all... and I really, really wanted to.

I know what you mean about the tone arm wobble as you set it down. I’ve found if you don’t hurry there’s really no problem. It’s much less hassle than my WTA.
