kh1958 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 What about Inner City - legit? A US label very active in the 70s. Certainly 'legit' - they did quite a few domestic issues of the East Wind material. I've got a couple of Art Farmers on this imprint (and the sonics are suprisingly good..) Inner City also released Steeplechase titles in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Okay, thanks! Good to know! Best of course is, that it's a fine recording (it's spinning right now!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Nice finds, would love to have that Horo for the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 The Horo cost around 15$... thought that was very much okay for nice vinyl and a good looking cover (no seamsplits and such). Haven't played it yet and am still unable to talk vinyl-lingo, but I'd assume it's somewhere between NM and VG or some such... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Picked Up Elvin's 'Puttin' It Together' this afternoon. Fine nick first Liberty pressing at a very nice price. Thad Jones & Mel Lewis - Suite for Pops (A&M) I bought that when it first came out - still have it. Very 'posh' for an LP - with all of the pull out notes, sound-stage diagram for the instruments etc. Edited February 25, 2012 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yeah... I already got "Live in Munich" with similar presentation. The Pops one is a bit beat-up, alas (just the corners, really). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Bill, they're all playable, in fact most of them without surface noise and with covers that look like they've been treated very carefully... I guess that's NM+ or some such in vinyl lingo. Haven't yet listened to the Leimgruber... but at around 6$ it was a steal (as were some of the others). (Reality check: gigantic [largest size] cup of coffee at darn Starbucks would cost quite a bit more than that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Got the Basie Vol. 11-20 (1941-1951) box in... for just under 22€ - looks very good, some records virtually unplayed, some with minor fingerprints and a few scratches that look harmless... will spin some of it very soon!

I passed on 2 mint copies of those boxes (the orange one and the blue one) some years ago for £10 each. Regretted it ever since !

king ubu Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Got the orange one last autumn... the box itself in better condition, but vinyl all looks good and clean in both boxes. Love having it all, finally! (Though I guess I would have enjoyed a complete Mosaic CD box even more.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (Though I guess I would have enjoyed a complete Mosaic CD box even more.) The sound would have been an improvement!

JSngry Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 My Holy Grail Lester Young record (at least of the ones I know about...)...The Young Brothers band, airshots from his brief 1944 return to Basie, every cut supreme in every way and none of it commonly circulated to this day. Found it still sealed on a By-It-Now deal from some guy in Miane (not Alan Lowe) for $17.50...I've been willing to pay more than several time that for it if I could ever find a copy, which I haven't been. The postman just dropped it off. Thanks, Bill from Maine (who included a pack of Branson On Stage trading cards, for, I guess, good measure. Today is a GOOD day.

paul secor Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Not vinyl as such, but relates to it. Picked up a nearly new hardcover 1st edition (wonder if there was more than one edition) of Gunther Schuller's The Swing Era for $15 - not a steal, but an ok price. My local library has a copy, but I've found that there's too much to take in on "borrowed" time, so I bought my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 It wasn't me although I was sorely tempted. Someone just landed Volumes 1-3 of the Complete Commodore Recordings on Mosaic for $560. 66-LP's in near mint condition. According to the tease, they'd only been played once. That's about $8.50 per record. Not a bad score as an investment in music or simply as an investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 a few years ago my local 78 store had the Commodore boxes. Each LP was £3 !!! I kicked myself for missing out but got Basie Roulette Live,(LP) Woody Herman Columbia (CD) & Sidney Bechet (LP) at those prices per disc !!!

slide_advantage_redoux Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Just was browsing Ebay under "jazz". I spotted a copy of Grant Green's Green Street (Blue Note) with 20 seconds left. Amazingly I managed to pull it off.....@ $2.75! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 no really great finds, but hey... one might be (finally) the definitive way to play Pres' Savoy sides, and the other five have great covers and all six were cheap: The Essential Coleman Hawkins (Verve Germany, 2304 537) Lester Young - Pres / The Complete Savoy Recordings The Louis Armstrong Story Volume 1 - Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five The Louis Armstrong Story Volume 2 - Louis Armstrong and His Hot Seven The Louis Armstrong Story Volume 3 - Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines The Louis Armstrong Story Volume 4 - Louis Armstrong Favorites The Pres contains one of the tracks from the Playboy festival (which I don't need any longer as I've got that Spotlight LP with the mean cover) and some selections from Verve, plus one early side with J.J. and Bennie Green, plus the also early (but Verve) "Picasso"... I got it for it's lovely foldout cover with a great picture of Hawkins on front: The Satchmos... well, no need for them really, but they just look and feel wonderful and the covers are all in very good shape, too! They're not originals, I guess, they have x "LP" 4964 and following numbers printed onto the labels), but they were cheap and look and feel wonderful!

slide_advantage_redoux Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) I happened to be driving in a part of town I usually don't get to most of the time today. While there I saw a garage sale going on so I stopped. Holy shit I am glad I did! Talk about a goldmine!! I saw a few promising LPs, so I asked the guy how much. He says $4.00 gets the entire box. Hell yeah! Here is what I scored. Arista/Freedom Art Ensemble of Chicago - The Paris Session Gato Barbieri / Dollar Brand Anthony Braxton - Duets 1976 Roswell Rudd - Inside Job Archie Shepp - There's a Trumpet in My Soul Archie Shepp - Montreaux II Black Jazz The Awakening - Hear, Sense and Feel Black Saint Roscoe Mitchell - The Flow of Things Candid: Steve Lacy - The Straight Horn of Steve Lacy Checker Jimmy Reeves, Jr - Born to Love Me Cobblestone Neal Creque - Creque Crimson Soul Survivors - When the Whistle Blows, Anything Goes ECM Abercrombie/Holland/DeJohnette - Gateway II Arild Andersen - Shimri Arild Anderson - Green Shading Into Blue Jack DeJohnette Directions - Untitled Jan Garbarak Quartet - Afric Pepperbird Art Lande/Rubica Patrol - Desert Marauders Oregon - Oregon Crossing Barre Phillips - Three Day Moon Barre Phillips - Journey Violone II Julian Priester - Polarization Impulse Albert Ayler - In Greenwich Village Alice Coltrane - Huntington Ashram Monastery John Coltrane - The Africa Brass Sessions II Sam RIvers - Crystals Archie Shepp - Live in San Francisco Archie Shepp - New Grass Archie Shepp - Attila Blues Japo Dollar Brand - African Piano JCOA Carla Bley - Elevator Over the Hill Music Works Kazuko Shiraishi - Dedicated to the Late John Coltrane Novus Air - Montreaux Suisse Ogun Irene Schweitzer - p; Rudiger Carl - tenor sax; /Radu Malfatti - trb; /Harry Miller - bass; /Paul Lovens - drums - Ramifications (2 copies) Prestige John Coltrane - Stardust Sackville Roscoe Mitchell - Duets with Anthony Braxton Vee Jay Eric Dolphy Memorial Album Warner Brothers Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Kirkatron John Simon - Journey There are a few others, but these were the highlights. I usually wouldn't list finds on here, but this time it merits doing so. Sorry if I seem to be bragging on my luck, but I nearly crapped my pants. I was pinching myself all the way back to the van. Many were in plastic sleeves and none of them have any visual wear, as if they are unplayed. WTF!!
