porcy62 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Due to recent economic situation I turned myself in a annoying guest, begging for old and forgotten records. Some friends and relatives are happy to get rid of them, and of me, I presume. So I got some classical and pop/rock stuff in these days, for free. Times like these are great to familiarize myself with the great records I already have, rather than constantly dragging new things into the house. So do I, listening my existing collection. If I consider my age and the free time I have for listening music, I probably will never listen to any of my records more then a dozen of times.

Frees up a LOT of time for listening. The recently acquired LP I've been enjoying most is John Wright - Makin' out - Prestige Didn't think I'd find a pic of this, but here 'tis ('Course, I've got a bunch from Dan Gould on the way, so I may post a few more here soon ) MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Went to a record clearout sale the other day, and among a host of 60s/70s/80s jazz reissue LPs (mostly Swing) I dug out a bunch of very nice EP originals with picture covers and in very clean condition: Terry Gibbs - Terry (EmArcy) Lennie Tristano - Capitol Jazz Classics series Lee Konitz - Inside Hi-Fi Benny Goodman - B.G. In Hi-Fi Vols. 1 to 4 Sonny Stitt (Roost masters issued on Sonet) Harry Arnold big band on Metronome Jazz West Coast Vol. 4 Buddy Collette (on Sonet) etc. etc. Sure, some tracks duplicate what I've already got on LP/CD but at 1 (ONE!) Euro each, how can you go wrong? Edited November 18, 2008 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know, but I am sure I'll get more money from 'The Sidewinder' rather then Lehman Brothers' bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six string Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) I found a couple of sealed OJC pressings that I was surprised to see in the racks. This Is Walt Dickerson! (his first lp) Gumbo - Pony Poindexter w/Booker Ervin According to my Goldmine book I now have all three of his albums and the other two are originals. I'm not expecting to run into an original Gumbo anytime soon so I decided to buy it. At $9.00 they seemed reasonably priced. I also picked up two George Russell albums, Live In An American Time Spiral and The Stratus Seekers.
