Our very kind friends at Village Vanguard (gokudo) have more details here http://www.gokudo.co.jp/Record/BlueNote1/ Here is the front cover

thanks for that...nice to see stuff like this now and again I also like the san francisco set and always hasa regular late night spot if I have moved ( cider induced) into the elctric bird/later john patton /reuben wilson groove Lovin it

erm yeh sorry forgot to put their website up Excellent site although they have really changed in the last few weeks with new scans for rear covers...and they seem to have taken the japanese lp pressings off , you know like the KING series with Japanese only issues..unless they have run out of space...one of my fav sites ...save for this one really good for those rare scans for hard to find lps or mosaic sets where I never got to see the original lp let me know if you see the japanese blue notes anywhere Andy

Sorry larger scan on the front than I remembered Here is the rear with more details Andy

Yeah I have this and it is nice, a strange affair for Bobby but better than some of his later BNs Here is some more details courtesy of those wonderful people at Gokudo ( notice now they have all the back liner notes for blue notes )

anyone around there ( or here ) now....I guess all the us guys are wrapped up in bed with their kenny g records on in the background

Yeh ! Why the **** does my wife think this is unreasonable I was planning ( would not dare) to have a Creative Jukebox 30gb ( which I have already and it is brilliant!! ) for the Blue Note collection, one for the ECm collection, one for classical and one of course for a mixture of Prestige /Riverside and maybe Savoy . I guess I would also need one for a mixture as well the trouble is that there are days when I guess the mp3 player makes me more anti social ...." yes you watch that awful looking programme on the telly I am going to chill with some mosaics and some cider in the garden ( ok it is freezing cold- but I will be fine) whats wrong with that? as for the ipod/creative thing- the creative that I have is sublime, honey for my ears, aural massage - I hope I spelt that last one right. I fear that the ipods through up problems that others do not. I also have a 1gb flash stick for cycling to work ...that too is faultless

It really works for me too, I just love this set up and there are sooooooo many little gems like this in the Riverside and Prestige vault that have been dug up and even more left in there still to come out. Then there are all the one offs by strangers who hooked up with BN regulars for their first solo date and were never seen again. I have a fair size OJC collection and got loads through emusic ( including this one if I remember) and really enjoy em Andy

I have 2 of these on Japanese cd ( the 1 and 2 feet sessions) and was really impressed with them. Would not mind listening to the 3rd session though as I also have Bash by him as well and really enjoyed them. The sound was awesome too . Go get em Andy

Again a sad loss for someone who helped release some very beautiful music on the world. I have built up a large collection of Prestige titles over the years and it varies so much from classic hard bop to really cooking soul jazz and then you get the Mal Waldron sides and Jaki Byard and Eric Dolphy one word for Prestige Records WOW! Rest in peace

Yeh ....not my fav Young stuf I would say nor is the Spaceball/Fuel stuff I have Lawrence of Newark and that is nearly the same...it is still in near mint condition...ie not played often!

Cheers mate Well its just got even better as someone lined me up with a copy of Jack Mcduff Magnetic Feel from 75 ........its kinda greasy.....all over!!!!!!! just spinning it now

Last time.......... going going ( off to the recylce bin!)

Well of course it was a nice surprise to read all of these......had to work on my b'day which was not so good but had a nice time last night......even managed to get to have a little bit of a party Thanks to all

I have the organic grooves thing and it is really good. One of the rare modern recordings by these guys ( save the pattons and some of reuben wilsons ) that I enjoy. I bought another one...booogaloo to bop I think ..cannot remember the full title at the moment. I have too damn hot though and that really cooks I thought. My favourite Lonnie Smith is either Think or Club Mozambique which is pretty damn good in my opinion. I also liked his stuff with George Benson (from the 60's) I also tried the beck thing...did not know who beck was but it was...ok nothing more nothing less

I have this album and I really enjoyed its freshness. I never bothered with the rarums really as I have many of the original cds etc so think it will not be of much use to me however I guess they are a safe investment for someone trying to find out more. However this is where I find the whole cdr /mp3 thing comes into play as this is entirely the value of turning someone on to the new enrico rava or manu katche or who ever as then more people will go out and get the original cd....if you have problems with that - well fine...or do a compilation for your buddies....thats what makes me pick up more jazz and long may it last!

wow must have been an artist...or homocidal person It does seem rather a tad too much for what I have paid $12 for on cd But I will not start that row I had the lp on japanese import which was nice and also got the connessiuer release but was not too impressed

my wife went through all that middle age denial stuff until I made her realise that most people think they will live til they are 90 ( well in her family they do) You can split life into youth ....youff/middle age/elder period 90 divided into thirds at 0-30/31-60/61-90 She is 35 and therefore in her middle age. Hence middle aged I am now sporting a bruise

buy the mitchell enjoy the mitchell sell the mitchell on ebay makes millions buy the electric company tell the ceo to pay your bill

I have mosaic catalogues ( with front cover details) left 14 phil woods set 18 capitol 19 lennie tristano 20 Jimmy Guiffre Should all be complete unless i nicked one picture...no evidence of that I also have True Blue Spring 97 1 copy lots of wolff photos

updated cheers

remember this? Um er ah how do I say this ...gokudo just got upgraded and all the 5000 series got back covers...sorry too late I guess but here it is http://www.gokudo.co.jp/Record/BlueNote1/bn10'%20283.jpg it was feathers notes all along I doooo like gokudo!

I foudn two obi..the paper strip round the twvinyl japanese releases of the Howard Mcghee vol1 and 2 BN-0006 (0006 - 0007) Howard McGhee's All Stars And The McGhee - Navarro Sextet Howard McGhee 5012 BN-0007 (0006 - 0007) Howard McGhee Sextet, Vol.2 Howard McGhee 5024 If anyone wants them I will send in the post for free if you have the lp and have lost/never had the strips For those who do not know what obis are they are here http://microgroove.jp/bluenote-jpn/1989-now.shtml I found them in one of my old mosaic boxes......I dunno why...maybe I stored a few there a few years ago before I sold my records ( they used to rip!) ...anyway if you want them , come and get em...let me know either via email or pm Better still if I sold the lps to you I will send them to you only...only thing is I think it was a relative( Son?) of Howard that bought them Could not bear just to bin them it was in this series

Up with details go get em

I say better home in as much as I cherished a fair handful of these as they used to be ( and still are) nice keepsakes. They are not the oldest ones but will be from around the Hank Mobley Andrew HIll set time and include a few early true blue catalogues Here are the details I have mosaic catalogues ( with front cover details) left 14 phil woods set 18 capitol 19 lennie tristano 20 Jimmy Guiffre Should all be complete unless i nicked one picture...no evidence of that I also have True Blue Spring 97 1 copy lots of wolff photos They are free to a good home within the UK ( I can stand the post costs probably ) or at cost outside of the UK. I would like to keep them but space ( and more cds!!) have other ideas Let me (andy@bleaden.freeserve.co.uk) know if you are interested Andy
