Chuck Nessa Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Currently playing Art Farmer/Evening in Casablanca. This is a '60s New Jazz reissue of Prestige 7017. Farmer and Gryce with Duke Jordan, Addison Farmer and Philly Joe. Very solid stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Those early 70s Vanguards can be really excellent. Whilst the rest of the industry was going to the dogs and issuing inferior pressings on thin vinyl, these guys kept their standards up. If you are talking about US pressings, they were manufactured by Columbia in the NJ and Indiana plants. ← Thanks for the information. Have just checked the Jo Jones. Yes, it's rechanelled for stereo. Not US though, it would seem to be a French Musidisc pressing. Same operation released the Prestige twofers over in Europe too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not US though, it would seem to be a French Musidisc pressing. ← what's why I'm glad to have a Mono button on my amp. ← At the risk of admitting that I know very little about turntable technology, could you explain what a separate mono does?? I have looked and I don't have such a setting. I wonder how having one would enhance my listening pleasure. Right now I'm listening to a mono 2 record set of Tommy Dorsey's hits from the mid-thirties through the mid-forties. The sound is coming through both amp sets and all the instruments are clearly audible. What would a mono setting do that my sound system [about thirty years old] doesn't already do??

Clunky Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) I simply have a mono button on my integrated amp, which makes the output of each stereo speaker the same, handy for getting rid of weird stereo effects and sometimes makes mono LPs sound as if they have less surface noise ( no idea why) Edited July 18, 2005 by Clunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricia Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Clunky and Sidewinder, thank you. As far as I know, I don't have a mono option on my sound system, but the sound is very nice and the surface noise is minimal. Actually, the mono records sound surprisingly rich. Hmmm.

Clunky Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Baker/Mulligan - Fantasy 2LP- comp. of Mulligan/Baker sides from 1953, Mulligan Plays Mulligan from 1951 and four tracks of Chet's hardbop things for Prestige from 1965. Great sound Louis Armstrong 1930- LA sessions- pretty mellow stuff, some of it amazingly commercial ( well amazing to me for 1930 !!)

Vincent le Masne / Bertrand Porquet "Guitares Derive" (Shandar) minimalist guitar music that takes its cue from Steve Reich, and has had its licks copped by many a hipster avant-folkie.

Seems like a very unique Cannonball LP. Spinning....Lee Morgan: Candy (Classic Records) One nice reissue!!! Very thick stock cover, tip on jacket with film laminate on the cover , deep groove label. If it was not so new looking, I'd swear it was an original from '57 or so. And, the music that eminates from the grooves is......need I say it?
