  1. I got a cdr from them before. I'm sure it's difficult being an indie music store with a niche market. Every time I've asked if something was in stock for their site it never is. That's frustrating. Between that and another instance with them I've steered clear. I've also tried to be removed from the newsletter to no avail. They do give so nice info on new releases so I don't mind too much.

  2. interesting note from the DMG newsletter today

    *****

    Notice to anyone who ordered the ORNETTE COLEMAN - New Vocabulary CD or LP
    from us and hasn't received it. We will not be getting any more copies to
    sell, very sorry about that. We have tried our best to get the label to
    send us another box of CDs & LPs but can't convince them to do the right
    thing. All back-orders are now canceled. - BLG/DMG

    10996813_10205802210244822_7371136515264

    Gold Lion Arts is releasing 3 new cassettes this month, all of which were recorded live at our space.
    Copies are extremely limited, so if you are interested in any of these they won't last long. They are also only available on cassette. There will not be any digital versions of these releases.

    For info, please email goldlionarts@gmail.com
    Vinny Golia-Solo at Gold Lion Arts
    *LA windmaster Vinny Golia plays a variety of reeds, singing bowls, flutes and more in this wonderful recording. The solo set is a continuous piece, divided over two sides. It's very high energy and showcases a master at work.
    ***Limited to 75 copies. $6
    Amy Reed-Solo Guitar
    *Amy Reed's continued growth and development as an improviser is apparent on this micro-release. Her electric guitar set, recorded in the summer of 2014 is flowing with beautiful, aggressive sounds with a nice arc going into Side B. The cassettes are only 10 min in length and are limited to 25 copies.
    ***25 copies $4
    Ross Hammond and Catherine Sikora-Perfect Plasticity
    *This duo cassette release is the first recording made at Gold Lion Arts. It features Sacramento guitarist Hammond with frequent collaborator Catherine Sikora on Tenor Saxophone. Sikora, who hails from Ireland by way of New York is playing with a fire and the two get into some killer duo improvisations. Hammond is on electric and acoustic guitars and each piece finds the two weaving lines and textures into a cacophony of sound. Highly recommended!!!!
    ***50 copies $6
    You can Paypal the cassette amount plus $3 shipping to goldlionarts@gmail.com (international orders please add $10 US for shipping).
    For any info on these releases please email goldlionarts@gmail.com or stop by the studio!

  4. I've had a few days to spin both Ghetto Music and Lift Every Voice.

    Ghetto Music sounds great, I only have a needle drop cd-r to compare it to but this remaster sounds great to me.

    Lift Every Voice is fantastic!! I don't know how I've gone so long without hearing this!

    Not sure these remasters are worth replacing anything already purchased though. Will have to further investigate. I will use these SHM-CD's to fill missing holes over RVG's though. Already purchased a copy of Frank Foster - Manhattan Fever (mainly because it was $5) and looking into a few other titles I don't own.

  5. Lift Every Voice is one my favourite Blue Notes and much improved on SHM.

    Sweet! This has me more excited!

    Picked up these two:

    I passed on a used copy of the Eddie a copy years ago because it was some non-Blue Note issue. The Andrew Hill I've never heard, but I'll always take a flyer on his work.

    No need to pass up a Blue Note title on Water Records, they did a fabulous job with their reisseus from the label.

    Appreciate the info! I wasn't sure at the time and didn't want to get some bootleg cd. I'll keep that in mind on my future hunts though.

  6. You can read customer testimonials on the Better Records website. Number 7 made me laugh out loud - the one about the Sgt Pepper causing the listener to be unable to eat his dinner, and have to go home to be alone to contemplate what he had heard.

    Thanks for bringing up the testimonials. Hilarious. "I put on my serious listening ears" is an awesome quote.
