New vinyls the last couple days... Hank Mobley-Soul Station-Classic 200gm. Not bad at all... AEC-Fanfare for the Warriors-4 Men w/ Beards 180gm... That second to the last track on side 2 is a friggin' mind blower!!! :tup Stanley Turrentine-Common Touch-BN Rare Grooves reissue- Ron McMastered...sounds good! John Jenkins, Cliff Jordan & Bobby Timmons-New Jazz/OJC reissue; sounds good as well! Freddie Hubbard-Open Sesame-Classic 180gm. Awesome! Totally Awesome! Used but MINT vinyl: Keith Jarrett-Birth- on Atlantic. Nice... B-) ----- Shit...life is good!

It kinda reminds of this cover, too...

It looks even better in person...it's in perfect shape, was still in shrink...for $7.99, I couldn't resist!

And hey, it's a pretty good record too! Great organ work and it's good to hear some good stuff from Houston Person. I remember being impressed with him when I heard him playing with Prince a couple years back. So here's a pic I just made from it, as I couldn't find one online, anywhere. Enjoy!

Disc one of the J.J. Johnson set last night was an utter joy!

Nice... I've heard good things about those German ECMs...I've got one Keith Jarrett (I forget which) and recall being quite pleased with the sound. !

Yer gonna love it! I can't recommend this one...go for the Classic Records HDAD or DAD instead. Or the Classic Records 200gm MONO lp.

New show added: miles davis septet 1973-11-15 - paris, france B-)

I'm not really concerned with it. To me they kinda sounded like they were in a tunnel... I don't need to listen to MP3 cds...not when I wanna hear something really nice sounding...

Yeah, but it seems to me that they sound kinda "wonky" as MP3s when listened to on my main listening system with the dvd player. (Data discs containing 7-10 cds worth) They sound better after being converted to waves and burned as a regular cd. IMHO.

Batch Two: 1. Sonny Clark Trio - Audio Fidelity - it's now OOP but perhaps you can still find one. 2. Deep Purple - BBC In Concert - Audio Fidelity - incredible sound and presence on this one. It will rock your entire house off the foundation! These were both remastered by Steve Hoffman, who had previously done the DCC gold discs. (All Audio Fidelity cds/SACDs are done by SH.)

1. A Love Supreme 2. CCR-Cosmo's Factory And these are just stereo. But both are a GGT * * Guaranteed Good Time!

So my wife and I had a "date night" this weekend. In celebration of the 11th anniversary of our first date. And the little sweetie surprises me with a sealed copy of the reissued Coltrane "Heavyweight Champion" boxed set!!! I mean !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like WOW !!!!!!!!!!!! What a nice package...much nicer than the cd set. All I've played so far have sounded just fabulous! She also gave me a sealed copy of "Miles Davis Greatest Hits" on Prestige from 1966! I'd been eyeing this one at the record store...promo copy...never opened...$30. It's in just perfect shape. Played well, but didn't sound as good as the Coltranes...but did with a little eq! Great vinyl weekend! B-)

I agree. I've found some of the Stanley T BN-LA's in minty condition and they sound superb!

I've got a couple for sale(JR Monterose and Griffin/Congregation), as I now have the Classic versions. PM sent! B-)

All of you must have two left thumbs...I've got no problem with this packaging. I'm easily able to remove and replace the discs from this case. The booklet, while small, is put together very well. Crybabies! B-)

It's a very nice avatar, Lon.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

Good one, David! B-)

New blood in the Vinyl Forum!! Welcome, Pasta!!! "Baby Face" Willette: Stop And Listen ('94 "Wally" reissue) Hampton Hawes: Here And Now Mulligan/Baker Mosaic Where can one find more of those "Wally" BNs? Last nite: Lee Morgan "Candy" - regular BN reissue, not the Classic but wow! It's the mono version! Freddie Redd "Shades of Redd" - same regular BN Reissue as above. This is stereo though...sounds good. Rahsaan Roland Kirk "Blacknuss" - Rhino reissue. Wow... cool music... $10 each at a local mom n pop store.

Who was Dizzy Spells? Deus?

That Aerosmith roller-coaster is indeed, quite KICK-ASS! The music sounds great! B-)

from whom...? B-) yeah, thanks Scott! Just funnin' ya! Glad yer diggin' it! B-)

Oh, I can't argue against that Is that were the expression "cut-out" comes from? How about the Randy Weston I mentioned above - was it ever on CD? (Maybe in Japan?) Yes, YRH, there is a Japanese cd, which I picked up a few weeks back. It's been a while, but I recal diggin' it the couple times I spun it...

British term for New Year's Eve. My mother was Scottish. They also talk about "first footing", which is a reference to the first person who crosses your threshold in the New Year being an indication of the direction the coming months will take. Apparently, a dark-haired person is the luckiest. Anybody's version of "That Old Time Rock 'N Roll" does the same thing at any New Years' wingdings I've attended. Hey Patricia, Thanks for the info. B-) Hey, I've already learned something today!
