This one? Love it:

I agree with you on several points. The Jackson is my favorite BN, and it's always been shocking to me how clueless the horns sound on the 1947 "Round Midnight". I like the Prestige sessions a lot, especially "Friday the 13th" with Newk and Julius Watkins.

Great topic. My understanding is that Tina Brooks' 'True Blue' sold under 1,000 copies, and that was the reason Blue Note did not release the other albums he recorded at the time.

And check out the early 70's Heath albums on Muse.

Please report back after!

That's some of what was so exciting about the music of those times!

The websites for importcds, deepdiscountcd, and popmarket are all currently offline, so obviously running on the same server farm. Any other companies we suspect fall into that umbrella?

And Donald Byrd (with Gigi Gryce) made two. Don't know if that was also part of it

I also like that one. Not a lost classic or anything, but a good listen and imaginative music.

Understood. I play my music 90% of the time on an $80 Sony boombox, listening through $60 Sennheiser headphones.

But do Lee Morgan and Woody Shaw sound best at low volume?

Tom, sorry to hear about your job loss (I can relate). There are probably others who have suggestions which involve bluetooth and wireless headphones, but I don't do any of that, so not sure. Or maybe something like this would work: https://www.amazon.com/30S1-01260-Stereo-Female-Y-Cable-Connector/dp/B000I23TTE/ref=asc_df_B000I23TTE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309708743736&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7733095689609765832&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003711&hvtargid=pla-406644626775&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60510342446&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=309708743736&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7733095689609765832&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003711&hvtargid=pla-406644626775

Grab yourself a $60 set of Sennheiser headphones, and crank it up!

Fascinating article, thanks!

Yes, but that's the only place it's available on CD. I am holding that Mosaic just for that one album, have the others on standalone CD's. And there's another McLean session (from the Hipnosis 2LP set) that is only available on the Moncur Select, which again is the only reason I stlll have that Select.

I have LPS of things I later bought on CD. but not by choice. Have wanted to sell them off for years, actively working on that as I have more bandwidth and no income following my layoff!

The second lp in that is in serious need of standalone CD issue.

One of my very favorite McLean albums:

I do a little bit. For what I consider the core Columbia Miles Davis releases, I have single CD's as well as the metal spine box sets, and for some other favorites, I will keep a single CD of something I also have in a box set. Also, some rock releases have had multiple expanded versions released with differing bonus cuts, and in a few cases I have kept both expanded versions to have all the bonus cuts.

Art Pepper was another one to my ears, by the 70's when he was again being widely recorded.

Tell us more about the engineering differences. I instinctively know I don't like recordings from this era as much as earlier ones, but have never fully realized why, have thought it must be a "freshness of concept" issue or something. But I'm sure you're onto what my ear is hearing.

2CD highlights version of this. Big box is too much $ for me. The 'Infidels' outtakes are pretty great. What a strong album that was/is, and these outtakes are not a step down.
