more great SA Jazz

I listened to my only Tim Buckley today because of this discussion and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks gents

Fantastic memory. Did you have to be 21 to get in? Thankfully no age limits over here, although I was past 21 by the anyway. I never saw the Replacements either. Saw Bob Mould and Sugar and Paul Westerberg solo. Always late to the party!

And just think, it's only going to get worse as a proportion of those currently happy with a DMM purchase will learn more about King, Toshiba and even Liberty pressings and enter that market too, we're doomed

I think this is it. Lots of new customers entering the market with a limited knowledge alongside shops and sellers happy to exploit the situation. A DMM to a new LP collector in their early 30s was released before they were born and may well have that 'vintage' cachet. It's easy enough to sneer (not suggesting you are at all Daniel A) but we were all new to this once. My first BNs were DMMs because they had just been released and as far as I knew at the time that was Blue Note records. Still got a few, still play them too. But I'll not be paying upwards of £50 for any although I may sell them at that price

Not a name I know. Couldn't have done it without Ubu!

It's a big regret that I never saw them and they weren't rare visitors here. I shall timewarp with that video, thanks

I'm prepared to be in the minority but that top track is really good even if it does sound more like it's from a Hyman than Tyner album. Makes me want to hear the rest of the album.

I bought it unheard because of the Gil Scott-Heron continuum. I really like it and had no idea about the barber angle which makes me like it more. I was listening to the Jayne Cortez with Richard Davis, I'm assuming that's in the same continuum for you. Also, we both like Ursula Rucker I believe, continuum's continue

What do you make of it? I bought it recently and rate it some

Ran Wehrli, Domenic Landolf or Marcel Lüscher on bass clarinet?

Toshiyuki Miyama & The New Herd first listen, sounding great. Thanks @Rabshakeh

Two albums I really like but I know that's not a universally held view (felser, iirc?). I have LPs so don't know the CD set which makes this contribution pretty pointless, sorry Pim

You wouldn't know, that's the "fun" of RSD it's the pull factor to the physical shop on the chance, as described by Sidewinder, that they have title you want that was the initial premise of the day. To get folk to visit shops again. It's become just a mega marketing jamboree now with labels like Resonance doing these ridiculous release runs to exploit the day. I've always managed to buy what I want online, at standard prices, after the online sales curfew is lifted. Never queued in person.

My understanding is that the entire point of RSD is that you turn up on the day hence all the queues. This is premised on a 'no advance reservations' policy which is widely advertised. Whether individual outlets choose to adhere to this policy is a different matter. I suspect your shop owner isn't advertising his preparedness to reserve very loudly as I suspect he'd be cut out of future RSDs. So in essence, not kosher by the stipulated rules of RSD as I understand them but kosher by any kind of 'keep the punters happy' rules introduced locally. If he's a kosher kind of guy

Discussing McCoy Milestones on the same thread, so this

Mine too, for the same reason

Oh wow, that cover takes me back. I should listen to the music again sometime Listening now. 37 years ago....

I don't know that one but I'm playing it now, thanks

This again

Those nice shelves are looking fuller I've never quite got why 'Glass Bead Games' has the reputation it has. I have tried to re-evaluate it so many times but to no avail. Maybe I need this edition rather than the Charly CD I much prefer 'Clifford Jordan In The World'

Interesting to read your impressions of the IE album. I'm a big fan of the first two and haven't really connected with the new one nearly as much. For me it lacks the laser focus of the earlier ones and meanders a bit. I appreciate it but don't love it like the others. I have also reached Shipp and Parker saturation so intrigued to hear this one is worth visiting, thanks

Does it really matter? In the end it's new Mingus music that hasn't seen the light of day before. How they choose to promote seems pretty secondary to me. Just semantics. I'm excited by the prospect of being able to hear this.

Somewhat bizarrely the three tracks appear to be priced at $1 each if purchased separately on Bandcamp. I only purchased Autumn/Parade as I have the original LP.
