Miles Davis - Miles at Fillmore (Columbia). Sides one & two. There's so much amazing stuff here. It goes without saying that I'd love to hear the unedited performances. They'll be issued, I'm sure - I just hope it's within my lifetime.

Some primo Jaws here. Everybody and everything else sounds just dandy as well. and Vi Redd really grabs the ear.

Hey, I've wanted that forever! Did you get it recently? If so, where?

MG

Found it at Dusty Groove a few years ago.

This is a great record--can't get enough Grant Green right now and Philly Joe is at his best...

I think this is a first pressing, just as BN transitioned into the New York USA label. It's New York USA on side A, 47W63 NYC on side B--no deepgroove on either side. Has the RVG and "p" stamp...

I'll have to check my copy but I think it has the same labels. Not sure if there is a DG on one side.

Dam. I wish I had that.

Just got the 1980's Blue Note/Manhattan reissue. Which I don't listen to as much as I should. Bet this vinyl sounds sublime.

if one day this turns up somewhere im gonna flip

Horace Silver - The Jody Grind. A nice original Van Gelder pressing. Since the master is a needle drop, I guess I have a copy of the master tape. :)

First pressing NYUSA Horace Silver's seem to be the most affordable and accessible Blue Note vinyl treasures. Especially on ebay. Well they were as late as last year anyway, when I was still looking.

Jimmy Smith too. Don't give up yet Chewy.

It does, despite the condition. I have a needledrop of the opening track up--click on the link to check it out.

Some of those Hank Mobley 1st pressings look as though someone has taken them into a combat zone - yet they can sound amazingly good. Like an idiot I passed on a 1st press NY USA mono 'No Room For Squares' in this condition for about a fiver several years ago (sleeve was OK though). Next time I went back though it was gone. :(

The New Howlin' Wolf Album (Cadet Concept). Wolf called this album "dogshit," but I have liked it more and more as the years pass. Pete Cosey provides the most extreme of the guitar weirdness here.

Still nothin'. My new deck arrived as scheduled but after a look at the contents and the assembly instructions, I realised I was out of my depth. So I called our plumber :D

Seriously, the plumber is a heavy hifi and vinyl fan (rock only) and spends tens of thousands on hifi equipment. You know we're ALL in the wrong business, don't you? He thinks he'll be able to come round at the weekend and help. Well, he IS a plumber.

Going to start with a Loose Tubes album?

Plumbers can be surprising people. The fellow who does our plumbing worked security at Levon Helm's Midnight Rambles and traveled with Levon's Band to weekend concerts. He hooked up with Levon when he installed a bathroom in Mr. Helm's barn/recording studio.

Speaking of plumber's...there's some nifty plunger work going on here:

...also on hand to unclog the drain are Hal Singer & Jimmy Forrest. Not even my arch-nemesis of groove Bobby Durham can stop this faucet from running full-on!

Oh yeah, Gatemouth Brown, too!

No idea about the Palm label, other than that in looking for an image of the one I have, I also found these:

Looks like the label on all of these is Palm 30, not just Palm. Not sure if there's a connection or not. The one I have appears to be French, and is bootleg like a mofo. All airshots from 1937-38, and only basic song/personnel listings. No addresses or production credits to be found, even in invisible ink. As far as CD issue...I've not a clue! Found this at a Half-Price books for not very much a few months ago and figured why not, I might have it in some other format, I might not. As it turns out, two cuts were previously(?) issued on the Columbia Super Chief two-fer, but the others were all new to me. Serendipity!

The liner notes (by one Al Roberts) have to be seen - and read - to be believed.

Here's a sample, verbatim in every regard:

Like any sensible woman, she prescribes that the quickest route to a man's heart is through his stomach. "Fungi Mama" cut three side one, the Richard "Blue" Mitchell tasty morsel served selectively, satisfies the most musically discriminating.

Basic Blues is the attire for our date with this engaging artist. She travels with the accompaniment of her long time associate tenor advocate Jimmy Anderson taunting and topically Roaring to the Moon, on Bart Howard's opus to the Brazilian countryside - continuing with Joe Henderson's Blue Bossa side two's open and close. Inventively giving all to a "Blues for Youse", side one's closer. Uhuh - YEAH - you'll DIG it!

"Sunday, Monday, or Always" side one cut two and "You Better Go Now" side one cut four, shows depth perception for two ballads of long accepted tenure, applauded by millions. All will continue, stylishly rendered with grace and taste. Gloria leaves nothing out. It's IN!

The opening selection of any album is one that introduces you to the artist and gives you a general idea of what is to take place. I base this test on my years of listening and professional skill as a Disk Jockey and music aficionado. Upon hearing "Bugaloo for Ernie" I sat back and relaxed for I knew a musical treat for the ears - the critics - would be pleased!

There is more (including multiple mentions of "Ernie Wilkens")...but even better than the liner notes is that my copy was once owned by Daddy Boo, who wrote his name, not once, but twice on the inner cover, same panel as on the liner notes. You want to know who bought Gloria Coleman albums back in the day? Daddy Boo bought Gloria Coleman albums back in the day, that's who. Apparently, Daddy Boo liked all but the first two cuts on Side One well enough to put XXX besides each of the titles, except for "Blue Bossa", which only got a XX/. Daddy Boo, I beg to differ.

Even better than all this is the music itself. Damn good album. On that, I think that Al Roberts, Daddy Boo, and myself would all agree.

A used WB/ECM copy with a few (just a few) clicky-pop audible signs of use-wear, which I suppose is the record-listening equivalent of getting herpes from a wonderfully virtuous chick who had been with only one guy before you, but she wasn't careful, so now you're stuck with it.

Oh well, four bucks, and it's still a great record. Anyway, that uber-quiet ECM thing can be unpleasant at times, so in that regard it's not like getting herpes from a chick who had been with only one guy before you.

Funny how things balance out if you just let them.
