A copy of said LP was intimidating me up on the overhead rack in the record store this afternoon so I capitulated. I think my ‘Mr Tanno’ collection will remain as the backbone of my Blue Notes as well as originals. Those Kings and Toshibas sound super-good on half-way decent decks, can’t go wrong.

I hear you. That applies to the ‘Tone Poets’ as well and in general I have held off on those where I have Japanese or original pressings. The Hank ‘Curtain Call’ is tempting but as it is on the Mosaic, not worth the effort (unless someone advises otherwise ).

I have Tal’s signature on a club flyer over one of my shelves. Reminded of it today when I was scanning the rack - it was obtained on my behalf and I never saw/met him but such a nice friendly message !

Have this on CD but nice to pick up a copy of the limited Resonance/RTI 3LP set. Good as the CDs are, this particular version ‘kicks ass’.

NY mono version - presumably released for airplay.

The best way to enjoy this set I find is to put the disks on and imagine that you are an audience member at Ronnie Scott’s for that engagement. Works for me and very glad that this set has been put out and as a quality release.

BN Liberty Blue/black This one came from fellow board member Dan I think.

Is that Chicago Blues set the 2020 Record Store Day one? A good afternoon to open this box.

CD2 includes this classic from ‘Gonks Go Beat’. Look out in the clip for a young John McLaughlin in the pink trousers and shades ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPEAK3RjfLk

Aha, no wonder I’ve never seen it. ‘Jazzman’ is a good reissue label over here but different styles of jazz, usually European obscurity reissues.

Don’t think I’ve seen that sleeve version before. The only versions I know are the Black Lion and the Rearward.

Naturally..

The Complete Mosaic Mosaic Records would be good !

Another straggler from RSD just picked up. Candid release in clear translucent vinyl (). Sounds damn good though. Nicely done card sleeve and facsimile labels. All analogue. Should be a good new series, this one.

Same here brownie, mine are the LP versions as well. Job for the long weekend to re-visit !

A clip of that was on the recent Billie Holiday documentary, I think the engagement was at the London Palladium. Mal Waldron was on piano and is visible in the clip. They ‘colourised’ the clip in the documentary.

I have both of them too and need to revisit them !

I was umming and ahing about Cheltenham, it is quite a trek and parking is never great. If I did go it would be Sunday to see the Westbrooks.

Mine is pretty random, no plan to it at all. I do segregate original Blue Notes, Impulses etc. and British Jazz has its own rack. Mosaics also stored together. Amazing that I ever find anything.
