    I find it amazing how this guy record always sell for these INSANELY Prices!!! I walked in a shop inTokyo and they had this record for sale for 200,000 Yen which is around ~ 1700 USD, I bet you could have spotted this in Frnace for less then few pennies a few years back, I grabbed his rca debut when I lived in europe for not more then 5 USD hehe, but never dug him?!?!

  3. Blue Note Sound Quality

    Well you usually don't have to pay the big bucks to get the sonic experience a 1st pressing deep groove ear rvg 47w.. address and all, to experience the bn sound, I find 2nd pressing, which usually run way less then originals, to give me the same sound representation an original does. Anyway the easiest to find and worth while are the japanese reissues, if you can get your hands on the KING issue, which were done in the 70's then you got yourself a treat, don't hang around ePay they go pretty expensive. Go directlly to the source, Japan many websites sell them for 1500Yen to 3000Yen which is from 12-27 dollars, but expect shipping to be in the 10-18 dollars :( to me well worth it they have a prefix of GXF i belive?!?! Have to pull one out to find out. Now on the 70's reissue, solid blue label, people tend to reccomend them, I find them a hit and miss, some sound marvelous, and some just plain bad. Dolphy's solid blue label sounds extremelly well, but 1500 series rechannel for stereo is just plain bad!!! STAY AWAY from DMM France Issues, BAD!!! That is all I need to say, lastly Classic issues I find them to be extrelly well done or just average, grab the 1500 series from Classic, which 1st pressing and repressing go for an arm and a leg; 4000,4100,4200 series you can usually find 1st or 2nd pressing for not toooo bad price, keep your eyes open deals are all out there!

    Discs are Copy Protected!!!!!

    European only

    Well turn the disc, check right around where the clear plastic is, ok see there is no ingraving of a symbol or writing as in their older, and conn series, these are generic cheap cds, but the batch is top notch so no complains from here. The McLean session is one fine sounding one :)

    July Month of Downbeat is a must for any jazz lover, they are celebrating 70 years, and have a special on Our Heros, today's stars on the legends who most inspired them, pretty much sub grouping each instrument and having a brief description about the most influential artist to those categories. Also original reviews of classic albums, lots of photos!! The whole magazine has nothing but GIANTS (still can't understand why Eric Dolphy isn't featured what's up with that?!?!!?), and to top it all off the Blindfold test is Ornette Coleman from Jan 7 1960 hehe the begining of the new revolution!
