These edits undoubtedly were made to allow for the wider stereo grooves. I have made a cdr to include all the material. Have the Fresh Sound reissue on vinyl. Didn't know about the missing 2 minutes on vinyl. There are no track durations listed on the Item. Thanks for the Info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Cedar Walton - SPECTRUM, Prestige PRST-7591, 1968. A very enjoyable Blue Note-influenced hard bop. I believe this is his first album under his name. I wonder why Walton never received Blue Note bona fides for the leader session. It's just that it may have been too late for him, because Lyon and Wolff were selling the company. I like the cover; the hand of Reid Miles was leading Don Schlitten's.

He had almost ten years s a sideman behind him at this point. I am trying to imagine how it would have sounded if it had been recorded at the RvG studio.

I am trying to imagine how it would have sounded if it had been recorded at the RvG studio. While listening, I remarked to myself that it sounded similar to RVG. Maybe it was the material itself that led me to believe that, because it's very BN-like, with similar dynamics and drive, as if it were produced by Alfred Lyon. The album is on the shorter side, even by the Prestige standards, clocking at under 35 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if more tracks were recorded, but not released. 1 hour ago, T.D. said: This predates it slightly (1967): You sir, are correct! What a stupid cover, in my opinion.

Do you think a sheet of plywood is sufficient to reflect on what's inside this record sleeve?

Some labels invest more and some not. I have seen here worse examples without any connection to the music inside.

jcam_44 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Horace Silver - The Jody Grind got this as a filler in an order to take up space I guess. Its an original mono copy, assuming since they threw it in its not too valuable, but it is a Horace I don't have and after a spin on the record doctor it sound pretty darn good!

I knew the tunes only because once a sax player wanted to play it, he had sheets for Jody Grind, Nutville and Peace (which a knew anyway) . But I didn´t have the album. I´m no completist, but is it possible that this one was not reissued on that RVG series ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best way to have this album as reportedly all digital versions are from a needle drop. 1 hour ago, Gheorghe said: but is it possible that this one was not reissued on that RVG series ? Correct, no RVG for this one (that I know of). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I like this one a lot. The most recent release from Japan in the UHQCD format (may recycle the 2009 mastering from Japan, not sure) is likely still a needle drop but sounds pretty darned good. https://www.discogs.com/release/13636074-The-Horace-Silver-Quintet-Sextet-The-Jody-Grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
