jeffcrom Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 , Frank Wess - Yo Ho! Poor You, Little Me, a Frankenstein's monster of an issue - a yellow-and-black label Prestige mono record in a cover that has a Status back and a Prestige front with a Status sticker stuck over the Prestige logo. The spine still reads Prestige. In any case, it's a really excellent album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The new mono pressing of the first Hendrix US lp from Sony Legacy. A beautiful pressing, 200g, flat as a board. Not a great sounding disc, especially side 1, but it never was. Sure is fun to hear though, I'll be playing this a lot. Different mixes than the stereo.

paul secor Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Don Ellis ~ New Ideas Prestige Never saw that cover before. Different from the old LP I used to have or the CD I have now. Evidently changed to cash in on his Columbia popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already familiar with the material. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 A couple of odd ones: Adrian Rollini Trio (Epic EP) And deep into TTK territory for this one: Don Elliott - Music for the Sensational Sixties (Design mono). Equal parts jazz, bachelor pad pop, and exotica. Some nice Hal McKusick bass clarinet along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Sorry for the big pic. Not the best mastering on this pressing. . . a bit strident, though swinging hard. But such great music. I loved the liner notes on this package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I remember when he wrote a column for Down Beat in the 1960's. I believe he told a story about a guy hearing a record on a juke box and wanting to have it so badly that he broke the glass cover on the juke box and took the record. I may have misremembered it to some degree, but the gist of the story and the idea of that guy wanting to have the record has stuck with me. Max Kaminsky, I believe. Greil Marcus memorably used this story in his put-down review of Dylan's Self Portrait in Rolling Stone: "Kaminsky had to have that record. Would anyone say they had to have this record? No." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Lucky Thompson - Illuminations (Groove Merchant). A two-fer of "I Offer You" & "Yesterday, Today"? But if it is, they goofed up the rhythm section for the first record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Freddie Hubbard - Night Of The Cookers Vol. 1. I'm sorry for fans of this date, but it still doesn't do anything for me. The trumpet playing just seems sloppy. They sound like they're having fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
