Posted 22 May 17 hours ago, Pim said: I’ve got a 1978 Japanese pressing that sounds amazing. I don’t agree with you. Like both sides very much. Though not from the same level as volumes 1 and 2 I really like it. Mine is also 1978 Japanese pressing ! Vol. 1 remains my favourite for the compositions and the participation of Fats and Sonny. From the later one, I keep Side B of Vol. 3, and the whole Vol. 4 "Time Waits" for the participation of Philly J.J. and the compositions, which are great. Vol. 5 is ok, but the drumming of A.T. is a bit too subdued. On the other hand, Bud plays great on Dexter´s "Our Man in Paris"..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first I had was "Live at the East" and the long tune "Healing Song" with some vocals in the background is one of the most moving music I ever heard (though from the heart I´m more the bebop guy). It was one of my first albums when I was in my early teens. "Thembi" and "Love" etc. also very very fine, on Thembi it´s more percussion, and the theme of "Love is Us All" is similar moving as "Healing Song"..... Of course I don´t know the other two records..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About King pressings I compared yesterday Shorter's Soothsayer King and LT, the King is fine on drums, bass and piano, the LT is muddy, BUT IMHO the LT got the right tone of Shorter's sax, the King is too sweet, too polite. A Tone Poet would be the right choice if would exist. now spinnin' Kaleidoscope Edited 25 May by porcy62 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 May Decca reissue version - still need to do a check of this against the original Fontana. 23 minutes ago, porcy62 said: It's a great session. The King sounds far better then the twofer.

A Tone Poet would be the right choice if would exist. Last time I spun the McLean twofer I thought it sounded pretty good. Will have to check. Every version of ‘Soothsayer’ that I’ve ever heard has sounded shrill to my ears, very weird sonics on that session. I thought the King had the better sound than the LT but the LT, if I remember rightly, was a UK version in my collection. Again, more stuff to check. I need to retire to catch up on this stuff..
