I sold the LP, with great regrets, in 1970 and didn't hear it again until I got the Water issue a few years ago. And... MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slide_advantage_redoux Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I stumbled across an original copy of Burton Greene's LP on ESP disc at Salvation Army's LP bins the other day. Cost me $2.00. The jacket and disc are both in excellent shape. Chances are the original buyer listened to one cut, freaked out, and put the LPs back in the jacket where it stayed for the next couple of decades.

The first one, with Marion Brown and Frank Smith? That's a bitch of a session. I think I paid $20 for it about ten years ago. The Columbia is still his best from the early period, but I like both ESPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainwrong Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 The funny thing is, it was from my old place of employment, meaning if that had come in a few months ago, I probably would have walked out of there with it for a quarter. And I'm doubly surprised my buddy who still works there didn't snag it himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartjewkes Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yesterday I picked up: Faust - The Faust Tapes (Virgin) £9 (I would have paid up to £30 for a copy so good value for me!) Bob Dylan - Freewheelin' (CBS) £6 (I'm filling out my Dylan collection as most of them are dirt cheap and I'd like to have them all sooner rather than later) Unfortunately both have been played a fair bit and have some noticable surface noise. A problem with buying really good albums in first (or early) pressing I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Not the world's greatest deal, but I was the only bidder on Lou Donaldson's Midnight Sun on a recent eBay auction, so it was just $10. It is sealed though with a hole punch somewhere in the cover, and it is a Liberty pressing. Nonetheless, I was pleased*, as it normally goes for $15-20. When I went to pay, I realized this was bluenotesound or the like, and is clearly connected with Mosaic/True Blue, perhaps at an arm's distance. Just a little surprised that more people aren't tracking their auctions more carefully. What I am more pleased about is that I only need LD+3 now and I will have the contents of the Donaldson Mosaic, so there's no need to toy with buying that anymore.

Get right on over to the Music Matters site and correct that problem with a 2x45 rpm. Sorted ! Edited August 13, 2008 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, there is a CD import and Dusty Groove has an LP version all for roughly the same price. I expect whichever one I buy, there will be a RVG of this coming out the following month!

stuartjewkes Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Today I picked up: Oscar Peterson Trio - A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra (Mono) (what a strange idea for a portrait series...) Kronos Quartet Plays Sculthorpe, Sallinen, Glass, Nancarrow, Hendrix Vladimir Ashkenazy - Chopin's Etudes Op. 10 and 25 Hans Rosbaud and Bernard Haitink- Stravinsky's Firebird Suite and Petrouchka Some interesting stuff hopefully. I love Chopin and unbelieveably don't own the complete studies so look forward to delving in to that. I like Oscar Peterson and he perfectly fits some of my switch-off moods, and couldn't resist his readings of songs that are rarely anything to do with Sinatra in any concrete way. I have never heard the Kronos Quartet but noted the presence of a Finnish composer that my friend will find of great interest, and the Hendrix thing sounds fun. As for the Stravinsky, I have the Firebird in a Stokowski CD box set but the sounds is far from ideal and I think it might be worth having several versions of this. I've never heard Petrouchka so I look forward to that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
