Posted 8 January My first Tone Poet, excellent, bought in a record shop close to my home. I think I'll get the few records I miss. Overall they cost like a japan reissue, considering shipping, and they are brand new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 9 January (edited) The sound is a bit clipped so I guess they used a backup tape not from Dennis Preston but from the Neil Ardley or Jon Hiseman archives. Quite passable though and superb music all round. Updated - turns out the origin was the Neil Ardley archive, also used in the Dusk Fire CD.

Posted 9 January Arrived from HJs. This is a really excellent reissue - Pretty good facsimile. I’ve not compared with the Regal Zonophone but likely not a lot of difference, doesn’t sound like a needle drop. Surprised it hasn’t already sold out at 500 copies. Definitely in the same zone that Keith Tippett’s groups were in during this period - Charig being a common factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 12 January Brown/Roach's 'Study in Brown', 1950s Dutch Emarcy pressing bought by my father when he was fresh out of military service ca 1959. The front cover lists "Ulcer Department" instead of "George's Dilemma", and Wikipedia "claims" the tune was known also under that title, but doesn't explain why, and I've never seen it anywhere else. Anyway - this is a perfect album! On 2021-01-09 at 7:46 PM, kh1958 said: Ahmad Jamal, Tranquility (Impulse) I really like that Jamal album! I often find him a bit too "cold" but not here. Do you also have the "quadrophonic" pressing? I have it, and it sounds good. A guy played me an earlier stereo pressing recently, and Interestingly it sounded worse; one side had very weak bass.

I've never heard a quadrophonic system though. Edited 13 January by kh1958 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
