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.

A Stones' Day with So long Charlie.

Nice one

My next cd player will be a Naim a new one.

For spare parts or ornament I presume. Fixing my cd player, 20 yo, was almost a nightmare, the technician looking for components all around the world, USED spare parts because DA converters and mechanic parts are out of productions since ages. The guy was smart and skilled enough to locate a component in a totally different device. I got back my old cd player. But I wouldn't buy an old cd player even under death threats.
