Original or the 70s second pressing? How do you tell? I'm not sure never having seen an original, but most Dootones around are second pressings. They suddenly became available around the 70s/ early 80s. They look pretty authentic. I've actually got that Carl Perkins in a first and second pressing. The original has 'Dooto' on the label and is deep groove. The 2nd pressing (early 70s) has 'Dootone' I think and a slightly different colouration on label, no deep groove. My Curtis Counce 'Exploring The Future' is also a second pressing. B&W cover, whereas the original was a colour cover I believe,

'Miles Davis All Star Sextet' (Prestige 50th St DG 10", mono)

Booker Ervin 'That's It !' (Candid DG mono) MJQ 'Space' (Apple, stereo)

Reuben Wilson Sgt Wilson Captain Mainwaring

All feeling very 1981 to me. No doubt the vinyl LPs will be going from 180g to "waffer-thin" real soon..

Original or the 70s second pressing?

Hey, good to hear that. Miracles sometimes happen !

Seconded !

I've still got a couple of Liberty-era Lee Morgan cassettes. With the old style black cases. 'Sixth Sense' and 'Caramba'. Classed as 'originals' I guess - along with the 8-track versions? We need a Fred Cohen book for the cassettes !

Nice story ! Always good when something like that happens (rare in my experience). Sanders and his band are appearing at Cheltenham, UK in a few months time and I'm tempted to catch the show.

Half the fun of Slade was seeing what outrageous get-up Dave Hill would appear in for each appearance on TV. What a character ! And that guy with Mud in the frock and ear-rings was just as bad. Not sure what this has got to do with 'Bitches Brew' though.

Late best wishes. Hope the ski-ing was good !

What do you think of the Django set? This type of music I have very little of, and was wondering the enjoyment/replay quotient. I just have CDs 1 and 2 and it swings like crazy. No issues with the sound quality either. Must get the full set !

Rush had a bit of a UK cult following of semi-headbangers around 1978 onwards. There must have been a 'Toronto Invasion' around that time. 'Martha & the Muffins' etc.

wind turbines and their ability to save the world

No Sid James? Seeing all those MFP covers makes me think of the LP racks at Woolworths (RIP) !

Indeed ! Those two CDs got multiple re-spins. Now on - Django Reinhardt CD1

Victor Feldman's versatile pianistic/vibes/percussion influence is very apparent I think on 'Katy Lied' That is one heck of a good album.

My advice is to get the Django, especially if your Django holdings are slim. Great set. I like the Sarah set less. . . . Thanks Jazzbo. I've got a partial of the Django Mosaic and like what I've heard. Time to get the full set I think. The Sarah Vaughan can maybe wait for another time. Sounds like I also need to add a Jimmy Witherspoon single into the box too !

Happy Birthday John !

Which always reminds me of this (about 40s in): Radio Goodies The TV over here has also been broadcasting recently an old archive show called 'Sounds of the 60s'. Anglo/German joint production done in Xmas 1969 full of stars of that era and Jankowski is shown walking through the snowy Black Forest, pipe in mouth ! Quite a period piece - MTV is isn't :rsmile: .
