Is the "hifi" $9.99. I was looking into it yesterday and it looked to still be $19.99

This made me laugh out loud

I'll transfer it as soon as I get it. Agreed it is an odd media choice but the price is right.

Bobby Bradford Quartet/Vinny Golia Sextet, which turned into a Septet at the Blue Whale. Amazing show and well worth the lack of sleep it produced!!! If only someone had taken their Tascam recorder to capture the music for repeated listening....

Heads up to any Golia fans. A very limited tape only released a couple weeks ago. copied to post from www.goldlionarts.blogspot.com/. I just ordered my copy. I found it based on the discogs page. 3 New Cassette Releases From Gold Lion Arts! 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!

Louis Armstrong - Satchmo Plays King Oliver my favorite version of St.James Infirmary ever

Sweet!

Nicholas Payton released some fantastic work on Verve.

Will do Chuck!

Just ordered their mosaic set before its unavailable. I'll see Bradford with Golia next week.

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.

Does anyone have the Don Cherry SHM-CD and Rudy Van Gelder remasters and can advise if the remastering is worth upgrading? I hate purchasing titles twice but Don is essential music to me and will if the quality is decidedly better.

Sweet! This has me more excited! 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.

Picked up these two: Eddie Gale - Eddie Gale's Ghetto (TYCJ-81084) Andrew Hill - Lift Every Voice (TYCJ-81090) 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.

Maybe I'm incorrect, but basically they are taking a higher source, studio masters at a bit rate higher than cd, and compressing it to a comparable MP3 size without the loss of the high end frequencies? Seems like an interesting process, but seems like it may be cost prohibitive in most applications.

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

I've been super excited about finding a CD before. Vinny Golia - Puff of Smoke comes to mind, and the James Booker - United, Together We Stand that jeffcrom graciously helped me obtain. If purchases were made just based on obscurity, Chuck has a valid point. I picked up Tim Berne - The Five Year Plan a few months ago at a spot I like to visit every couple of months. Usually I can find a couple albums I like cheap but the Tim Berne really got me excited.

Donald Bailey - So In Love Only gotten to listen to Side 1 so far. LP was in rough shape due to being dirty when I bought it two years ago. Cleaned it with wood glue and I'm getting to hear it for the first time. Awesome.

Haha, She sat through the last VInny and Bradford set with me in Oct without complaint, and we had a cross-country flight the next morning, so I'll give her a pass. She's not really a Vinny fan either.

how are you connecting to your computer? into a DAC with RCA inputs? Your experiencing a feedback loop but without more details its hard to tell what is causing it.

He's playing Monday the 24th at the Blue Whale in Los Angeles with VInny Golia. I'll be there, although the lady in my life is declining since its a "school night".

Yes please!!

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know if there are SHM-CD releases of the Prestige Bluesville series?

Black Ace - Black Ace

I got a few of these really cheap at a local store, 1/3 of the price and love them. Especially for the price I paid. I think they are the "promo" versions with the sticker on the OBI. Picked up some stereo releases too.
