There seems to be some speculation on the Hoffman Forum that Kevin Gray’s tape machine might be out of alignment, or something of that ilk.

Thanks, Clifford and Bill ! Some Blue Note original vinyl spinning tonight.

Thanks Daniel !

‘Ensadinado’ now spinning. Wow - even better than I thought. Have updated the system quite a bit since last spin which no doubt helps.

A very well recorded session and on very good vinyl. Need to dig mine out !

That is true - CTI is one label where I usually go for CD instead of vinyl where I can. Horrible sudden roll-off at both ends of the spectrum, boomy bass, rubbish quality vinyl (both US and UK pressings) in my experience.

Thanks guys !

Bought it on vinyl as soon as it came out on original release in the UK and liked it from the off. ‘Pangea’ only came out here as a Japan import so didn’t hear that one until nearly 2 decades later. At the time of ‘Agharta’, looked forward to more Miles like this but he disappeared on his retirement just as I was getting into it. My first copy of ‘Pangea’ was on cassette !

I never saw her - but my copy of Isoardi’s ‘Central Avenue Sounds’ does have her signature, along with a number of the other interviewees. RIP.

Brilliant !

The only one I’ve got I think is the Tina Brooks ‘True Blue’ (which some idiots have paid $$ for on the internet thinking they got an original ). It sounded OK but I do recall thinking that it sounded a bit boosted at the top end and not as punchy as would be expected of an original of that era.
