Yeah, but "more people", in this case, is likely going to be the flippers/hoarders. Many of these new Muse LPs will never be opened and will sell from collector to collector in that condition. I'm betting that a lot of these will not be bought for the music.

Bud Freeman - The Test of Time (Bethlehem Records)

Pat Martino made some damn good stuff for Muse too. Counciousness, Live and The Visit. Amazing stuff. Not looking to replace mine but if this brings more people in touch with his music: let them reissues come!

Everybody has to make some kind of sacrifice, i understand.

I didn’t knew this book before but checked it out and you made one hell of a great find! Congrats and enjoy!

No, she would not be happy. She's very possessive and jealous. And I guess due to a devistating past marriage insecure. I'm used to it after ten years, I love her, she has nothing to fear but I know that doesn't keep fear at bay. Right now Another disc from the “Enjoying the Ride” Grateful Dead box set.

ahhh maybe she would let you go with your hands bound?!

Bud Powell: Inner Fires - The Genius Of Bud Powell. Elektra Musician MUS K 52 363 [1982]

https://jazzinbritain1.bandcamp.com/album/impressions-of-new-york?cart_redirected=1 I just bought it, and have listened to the first two tracks. A great band. Wonderful compositions, sound, arrangements and performance. "The flyer for the October 1980 Camden Jazz Week announced a first commission for Geoff Castle, describing him as one of Britain’s most talented keyboard players. It went on… “Geoff, like many of his contemporaries, was first involved in the jazz scene as a member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, and subsequently through Graham Collier Music. He is currently a member of Nucleus, leads his own group, Strange Fruit, and occasionally surfaces with Paz and the Morrissey/Mullen Band, and with the Musicians Union’s travelling jazz/rock workshop team. It is, however, Geoff's individual ability as a leader/composer that is featured here: he has, in the past, contributed material to both Strange Fruit and Nucleus, and, indeed, performed solo. Impressions of New York, inspired by a recent visit to that city, is his first larger-scale work, and will traverse both acoustic and electric areas of jazz - the ten-piece group includes tuned and LA percussion and synthesisers alongside an impressive line-up of soloists. Impressions of New York has been commissioned by the Jazz Centre Society for the Camden Jazz Week with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain.” The Impressions of New York suite was performed by a Geoff Castle ten-piece group called Geoff Castle’s Impressions Orchestra, either in full or in part, on four occasions between 1980 and 1983. Three of those concerts are included on this release. Although it was never recorded for album release, we believe Geoff did plan this. It definitely should have been and so Jazz In Britain is claiming this as another ‘lost album’ discovery.

Great

Winnipeg 30....Ottawa 27 Unbelievable.

I must admit, though, that I find the "Elvis Sings Thelonious Monk" idea way more exciting. Considering what can probably be done with AI today, can't someone geeky enough out there get to work and cobble some soundalike sound samples of this up? This should REALLY be fun!

+ the essential Overture to the Flying Dutchman as Sight-read by a Bad Spa Orchestra at 7 in the Morning by the Well ** Clarinet Quintet has fewer yuks but still great

Julliard / Wergo erred by not including this --> Flying Dutchman Overture as Played by Bad Spa Orchestra at 7 AM by the Well (1925) which the score readers among us will especially enjoy

Pertneer vinyl memecoins.

I've yet to hear Vol. 2. Is it the equal of this one?

Missed friends.

Anderson/Brimfield/Drake...that was THE combination for Fred Anderson imo.

Selling "editions" has replaced selling music.

The lack of quality control in modern pressings is, indeed, quite frustrating. When done right, records can be pressed exceptionally well these days...arguably, better than ever...which makes it all the more frustrating when corners are cut and they have the issues that you mentioned. The apparent "manufactured scarcity" of this series is certainly off-putting. I wish that they had gone the route of the new Stata-East reissue series, with high quality vinyl reissues and CD reissues released at the same time, and not hyped it up as being a "limited edition...buy now or cry later!" situation.

I hardly buy any new vinyl. Mostly used vinyl.
