    Nice one.

    When I was a music librarian I used to put lots of stickers and barcodes on sleeves and labels just like that.  I also saw how the public used or misused the LPs so I think you're definitely lucky if that came from a public library. Or Charles Tyler just wasn't popular...

     

    I haven't listened to it in ages, maybe I should

    Yeah I could imagine that. I’ve seen how the average customer treats books in libraries…. I was surprised by the condition of this one. It’s not even NM, it’s M. As you say Tyler probably wasn’t very popular and not rented out a lot.

    Listened to it on Spotify. Well, it's not great. Too much noodling, not too many ideas. After it was over, Spotify auto-played this one, and I see no reason to object to the good robot - it is much better:

    Yeah that’s a great one. Probably my favorite solo Lacy. Pretty accessible too by the way

    My boss gave me a $100 gift card for Christmas, so I splurged and bought three Bobby Hutcherson LPs -- Happenings, Oblique, and Medina -- even though I already have these albums on CD. 

    Now spinning:

    This is the first Tone Poet I've ever heard, and -- I've gotta admit -- the AQ is remarkable.

    Of course, the music is stupendous.  But I knew that already.  ;) 

     

    That was the first Tone Poet I bought and yes it sounds amazing. It was for me also the album that made me decide I had to own every Hutch on Blue Note.

  4. Well soon I've got a nice copy to test this method. I just ordered a copy of Charles Tylers 'Saga of the Outlaws'. In great condition but the sleeve is full of ugly library stickers. That's why I only paid 35 euros where EU based copies on Discogs go for 100 euro plus. But now of course the question is: will those stickers come off smoothly? If so I made a pretty sweet deal. If not i've probably paid for what it's actually worth....

  5. Damn I feel like such a fool again. I've got some items in my wantlist that are pricey for they are rare and issued only once or twice. I'll keep them in that wantlist for years hoping for a reissue. Then after a long time, when I see a reasonable but still pricey offer I decide to jump on an original. Live in Berlin was one of them and I bought it only a month ago.... I should have been more patient. I've had the same thing with Curtis Amy's Groovin' Blue where Blue Note announcent it was goint to be a Tone Poet only 2 months after I ordered an original pressing.....

    But still good news of course, especially for those who don't have the music. This was a particularly strong period for Noah Howard and I really enjoy that record. Also an opportunity to buy Schizphrenic Blues. Anyone who knows this label? Is it legit and to they work with tapes or digital files?

  6. I'm really in a Steve Lacy mood these days so I was triggered immediatly but a little dissapointed by the samples. I really don't dig that guitar. Curious if there's more to come in these First Visit series! Can't say I like their move to public domain issues but Hat remains a label with quite an impressive catalogue. I'd say the artwork on this Steve Lacy issue is very nice.

    The wife and the one year old are marooned in Welsh Wales by a storm, and I'm into day three of the two sick elder kids together with a hefty work schedule that went on to 2am last night. 2 and a half hours sleep. Hanging on to this record this morning.

    This isn’t going to help you in anyway but:

    1. I know how you’re feeling. One of those moments you realize how important a good night of sleep is
    2. It will get better in a few days fortunately :)

    3. You could re read the topic I once started here: when they don’t sleep to comfort yourself with other horror stories

    Wow this is an amazing release. I decided to wait a little for some reviews first but very glad I got it. Nothing out but very intense. 23 years old Jack playing his arse off, amazing! I’d say the sound is good for a live record from this period. I hear enough bass.

    The price tag for the vinyl of this is ridiculous. Will wait for a sale on this one because it looks pretty cool to me.

    I don’t think it’s even analog. The hype stickers don’t say so and Craft always mention that if it’s the case.

    I wonder how much of the jazz reissue crowd would buy Steeplechase on vinyl. It doesn't seem to play well on Instagram. 

    I wasn’t aware of that. They did some vinyl reissues in the past decade I believe. Never heard one. I do know that some of them miss essential tracks that the cd does have. Like Johnny Dyani’s Somg for Biko: that one misses the amazing track Lonely Flower at the Village.

    Joe Henderson - Power To The People [Milestone, USA 1972 RE]

    Right now this is sounding to me like Joe's best album

    Picked up in a new to me record shop yesterday, always good to find another site to feed the hobby/habit/addiction...

    Don’t know if it’s his best but definitely among his best. That’s such a great record. Addictive music. Joe made lot of great music for that label back than.
