Today (Galaxy)

No Limit (Contemporary)

Thursday Night At The Village Vanguard (Contemporary)

Friday Night At The Village Vanguard (Contemporary)

and a couple reissues from Toshiba EMI Japan

Wolff, I hope you'll contribute some of your thoughts on Art Pepper to the AOW.

Just played Tubby Hayes; Return Visit (borrowed copy). Didn't keep when it first came out, not sure that my opnion's changed that much in the intervening years. Still it's always interesting to hear a comparitive rarity.

Hope you've taken out insurance on that one, John :D How's the sound quality, by the way?

Friend of mine brought the new Beatles CD remasters - 1964/5 stuff - and I A/B'd them with my 80's reissue pressing Parlophone LPs. Different animals I know, since the CDs are "Dexterized" versions, but in terms of overall sonic quality - the LPs win, but not by a whole lot. Yeah the CDs have that over the top reverb on some tracks ("She's a Woman" must set some type of record for reverberization) but they still sound kind of nice, very...well, 1964/5 American AM pop radio. The UK LPs are of course much warmer and from an audiophile standpoint much better done.

But I'm not plunking for the CDs, regardless, since they flat out got it wrong with their approach (not being particularly nostalgic, I still think they should have been UK versions of LPs with contemporary singles included as bonus tracks, plus/minus the mono versions also included).
