Teasing the Korean

Send me a PM! I'd be curious to see which ones you have!

I was very vigilant - and successful - at removing price stickers from used LPs. But every once in a while, I will come across an LP with a sticker that I forgot to remove. And I am always thrilled to find these, because many of these stores no longer exist. I wish now that I had left more of them intact. But back in the day, my go-to for removing stickers was Goo Gone, but I did use lighter fluid at times. That said, there is no chemical known to man that can possibly remove a Princeton Record Exchange sticker. Nothing. Those things stay on forever, whether you like it or not.

They are!

The Dankworth Roulette album, Jazz from Abroad, was reissued as part of a 70s Roulette Echoes of an Era twofer, with the Ellington Roulette album that was credited to Billy Strayhorn.

My recollection is that the new effects were louder and more jarring. I didn't like them.

At some point, they revised some or all of the sound effects, presumably to make the sound more contemporary. No idea if they have reversed course on this since. I remember seeing/hearing side-by-side comparisons of certain scenes.

One down, hundreds to go. The number of films that have been revised in some form or other since their original release is pretty staggering. Bladerunner, Vertigo, and Fantasia are three high-profile examples.

No idea. That's what surfaced when I looked for a video of that track.

Freddie Hubbard - Blue Spirits (Blue Note, NY mono)

Lou Donaldson - Rough House Blues (Cadet, stereo) Reissued here as part of a Chess twofer.

McCoy Tyner - Tender Moments (Blue Note, stereo, played back in MONO to improve the mix.) "Utopia" has an early-70s TV sound!

Grape fizzy with just a touch of lavender syrup.

Dave Brubeck - Countdown: Time in Outer Space (Columbia six-eye, mono) Dedicated to John Glenn.

Pete Rugolo - Rhythm Meets Rugolo (Mercury, mono) Collects tracks originally released on For Hi-Fi Bugs and Out on a Limb. I have a stereo copy of this also. The mono sounds very different, as it used close-miking, whereas the stereo used overhead miking.

Oliver Nelson - Fantabulous (Cadet, stereo) Crazy piano solo by Patti Bown on track 1.

John Dankworth - Jazz from Abroad (Roulette, stereo) Featuring the amazing "A String of Camels."

👍👍

Why would anyone want to remove Basil Wolverton art from an LP cover?

😹😹😹

This may be the stuff that I was discussing further upthread.

Thanks. Maybe it's just the CD. Or my ears! Thanks, not familiar with these. In looking at his discography as I sideman, I see that I have many albums that he plays on, but I didn't remember until I checked.

Tickets arrived today! Hopefully, it will be legal to see music from Tijuana after this January! 😹

👍 So I just played this. I found the solo piano tracks to be underwhelming. The two long trio tracks were much more interesting, especially from a rhythmic standpoint. Is it me, or am I hearing some weird pitch/tape speed issues at the end of "A.L.B.O.M."? Talking like the last minute or so of the tune.

Mal Waldron is a name I've heard for decades, but I never checked him out. I recently liberated a Mal Waldron CD from the free bin, on the Black Lion label. It is called Blues for Lady Day. It apparently contains a second album, too, considering the 70-minute disc length and the additional two tracks clocking in at 35 minutes. I haven't spun it yet.
