    • Grand Belial's Key – Goat Of A Thousand Young / Triumph Of The Hordes    ... 2017 ... also here a cat as an extra!
    • Phil Woods, Tom Harrell “The Jazz Masters” Groove Merchant/Solid Records Japan cd Just in from Japan, these recent Groove Merchant reissues sound really good, and I’ve always enjoyed this band. Alto Saxophone, Clarinet – Phil Woods Bass – Steve Gilmore Drums, Producer – Bill Goodwin Piano – Hal Galper Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Tom Harrell
    • Haven’t enjoyed this cd in a while. I was thinking of my late first wife Helen, and that led me to think of listening to Helen Merrill, and I saw this one, which was sitting neglected on a shelf a long time. Helen Merrill featuring Stan Getz “Just Friends” Emarcy cd   That's correct, I just don't have the impression any particular one was a breakout hit in sales.
    • I guess this problem of "reliabilty" exists with any such discussion platforms. When I read the Mercury discussion I was under the impression everything they stated boiled down to "educated guesses". But like I said, I know too little about this specific series to judge it at all. At any rate and on a more general level, my impression is that whatever the Japanese released and reissued beyond their own country certainly was aimed at the USA in the very first place. And all other target coutnries were afterthoughts. At least from the Japanese point of view. So, looking at them from over here, I've understood Japanese pressings always as being typical "imports" (that found their way here more or less haphazardly and strictly on the initiative of individual importers). But I'd bet ther always are exceptions to any rule anyone comes up with about pressings, releases, exports/imports, etc., so in the end it all remains "educated guesses". I am not worried too much about ths kind of "fuzziness" in these discussions anymore. I've come across the same kind of discussions on other forums in different hobby areas where you get involved once you have gathered substantial knowledge on the subject matter. But it almost always turns out that the more you learn the more you realize that there are things you don't know 100% for sure. So in most cases I'm past working myself into a temper ... 😁 At any rate, I think, beyond my use of Discogs for checks on specific releases I think I might check the discussion sites a bit more often too. Might be fun ... Although (judging by these Mercury discussions) I guess they remain more civilized than on the Hoffman forum ... 😁
    • Nice one, must dig my copy out , it's been a while
