Good memories of emerging with a handful of BN longboxes of ‘The Turnaround’, ‘Point Of Departure’ and ‘Spring’ on the day I bought my first (Nakamichi) CD player. They were a pig to rip open !

Useful 1970s reference..

Thanks, I’ll check it on Spotify. NY USA DG mono version. Still the fave (and not interested in the 122 bit super nano bit mapped gold plated CD) .

I need that MM 33 rpm though..

The BBC did a documentary by Hannah Rothschild covering this story. I think it is on Youtube.

Original mono LP, Japanese King LP, French Pathe Marconi LP, UK UA 70s LP reissue, McMaster CD, RVG CD, Herbie BN 6CD box. I’ll pass !

A good one.

In my pending pile..

I like it ! Herbie produces some lovely lyrical solos and with that lineup, how can you go wrong. Apparently it was an ad-hoc session at Union scale, with Herbie getting twice scale as ‘musical director’. The arrangements were by teenager Jonathan Klein, who plays french horn and baritone sax (!) on the session. Just another routine session for Herbie and co but a quiet gem nevertheless. Both Ron Carter and Herbie have expressed very positive recollections over it. Jonathan Klein apparently hates it. The original US release was only sold in synogogues and sold just a couple of hundred copies apparently. Trunk’s LP version was said to be 500 but I’m not sure if that many were actually sold. A ‘curate’s egg’ (or should I say, Rabbi’s egg) - but an enjoyable and fascinating one. The Trunk LP is a needle drop from one of the rare originals but is excellently done. The master tapes are AWOL.

The only original ones I ever saw looked pretty well unplayable.

One of the more offbeat Herbie releases.. actually a Jonathan Klein project. Trunk LP. Hints of ‘Speak Like A Child’, interestingly.

Those Music Matter releases also have the fantastic sleeves and original session photos to drool over. That must be worth $20 .

Interesting - one I didn’t know about, put out by EMI India originally I guess. Will investigate.. I would have thought a better accompaniment to the cricket today was ‘Theme From Jaws’.

Depends what kit you play it back on, especially the quality of the source you have. Some will chose CD, others streaming, others the vinyl.

The Mildred set just arrived across the Pond. Very nicely packaged and very quick shipping. Many thanks ! (listening to CD1,some great music on this one. Glad to have it).

Henry’s Geography teacher socks and sandals pass muster !

‘Turn Circle’ by Ray Russell is still in print on Dutton Vocalion I think. The version of ‘Footprints’ is excellent (as is the whole album).

Broadcast on ‘Jazz Club’ apparently. Location, Purcell Room of the RFH on Sundays.
