  18. EARTH, WIND & FIRE .....favorite 5 ??

    That's The Way, Gratitude...hard to argue with either of those choices. How sweet were those early gatefold covers with band photo centerfold, collages, picture inner sleeves Yup, those 2 records is where my love affair began.

    And I always thought Gratitude was the best live record....or was it The Spinners Live or Al Jarreau Look To The Raindow?

  19. HEATWAVE/Johnnie Wilder.....incredible one, two punch

    in Artists

    Posted · Edited by Jazz Vinyl

    Twin falsetto's, funk organ, shimmering hi-hat's, masterful hook heavy soul songs written by Off The Wall mastermind...Heatwave first 2 records changed my life. Produced by mystery man Barry Blue those 2 records (Too Hot To Handle & Central Heating) had a sound of their own, the cymbals danced between left and right channels.

    There was some smokin' early footage of the band on YouTube. It showed the band at their start - maybe 1976. Lead vocalist Johnny Wilder's showmanship energy was amazing. During Too Hot To Handle he's climbing on speakers, bumping and riding on the shoulders on fellow band mates, singing, twirling the mike....working it hard. It seems to have been removed, I sure hope that footage returns.

    The band was horribly snake bitten. If you want to get bummed out Google Johnnie Wilder to learn what happen as the band was at peak popularity.

    Nearly 10 releases, my top 5 tracks come from those first 2 incredible releases:

    Lay It On Me

    Too Hot To Handle

    Happiness Togetherness

    Mind Blowing Decisions

    Sho Nuff Must Be Luv

    Any other fans (JSngry?), I would love to see your favorite picks.

  21. Prestige Records....gold & black trident label?

    in Discography

    Posted

    Marcello - thanks for your info.

    What I'm in hopes to learn is Prestige Records use of gold and black trident labels.

    Did gold or black trident pressings come out before blue trident pressings, after yellow & black?

    For Red Holloway "Cookin' Together" Prestige record - I have 2 different copies each with a different label - gold trident (PR-7325) and black trident (PRST-7325)...are these older than yellow & black, blue trident pressings?

    I have rarely seen Prestige black or gold trident pressings. Did Prestige use them often, I wonder when and why?

    Thanks again

  22. Prestige Records....gold & black trident label?

    in Discography

    Posted

    Can someone provide generational reference for Prestige gold and black trident labels.

    The record in question is Red Holloway with Brother Jack McDuff - "Cookin' Together". I have seen 3 different labels for this record - yellow & black, black trident and gold trident (blue trident too?).

    Can these labels be put into chronological release order?

    What was the purpose of the black and gold trident labels? Were the gold & black labels used often?

  23. Collecting......records vs CDs

    in The Vinyl Frontier

    Posted

    I recently read a post where the user claimed to own every major Miles Davis recording. Intrigued I looked at the user profile and determined his age was 22, he had been collecting CD's since he was 19.

    When I was 22 (pre-CD, MP3,etc), owning every Miles Davis recording would have been quite a feat requiring not only money but deep dedication, endless hours, much gas and timely luck...just to be in the right place at the right time with the right money.

    Pre-CD, when you saw a shelf of Miles spines you knew a serious committed collector was on the other end who likely spent decades crafting his collection. The owner could likely spin tales of piecing together the collection and could lament about great once-in-a-life time purchasing opportunities that got away.

    Now a kid with dad's Amazon account number can order up the Miles Davis complete catalog and be a completist with 1 click shopping.

    I guess any Miles completist is a good thing, but curious, do you really value owning CD's?

    Can you really strut around a party crowing you own John Coltrane's Giant Steps on CD?

    Does format matter?
