Yes it's an excellent meeting.

Acoustic Sound reissue. Nice remastering and pressing.

I used and still use this one with great satisfaction: onzow zerodust. I use a stylus cleaner before the onzow, but not often. It works for me

Never bought one😁

I've got the LT pressing of this one, unfortunately

Good move. Now spinnin' Music a part, that’s great anyway, it’s marvelous recording and mastering

Japanese pressing

Yep. Now: Japan.

Lou Donaldson - Sweet Slumber -BN (aka Lush Life)

Original pressing. I admit I had a prejudice against west coast jazz for ages, I was definitely wrong.

Japanese pressing

Music Matters 45rpm

I have some cds but no compilations, sorry.

Stereo, Japan. NY, stereo.

The great italian jazz guitarist passed yesterday. RIP

Mono. "After the Rain" would have been a great main theme for a french noir with Lino Ventura: Apres la pluie.

I am not acquainted with Garner, so I can't compare these records with other Garner's ones. I like the fews I listened to. Sound is good, both cds and vinyls. The 45 original records has a forgotten sound of old radio singles. The set is probably overdressed, I really don't need the cassette. Overall I am satisfied.

Since I haven't got any Garner in my collection, I gave myself a gift with this lavish mammoth:

I don't like multiples, but it happened. Usually I have duplicates when the original pressing is really noisy or the cd reissue has some alts or outtakes I really like. And of course with Mosaic box sets: I have some originals that are on Mosaic too or when the Mosaic is a cd only set.

Always had pets around me since I was a baby human, mostly cats when I moved in Rome. So I understand your feelings.
