The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 A couple of R&B EPs Shirley & Lee - Aladdin (Vogue UK) ('Let the good times roll' and 'I feel good' plus their B sides) Wynonie 'Mr Blues' Harris - Battle of the blues - King (Blue Beat) Hearing 'I feel good' by the Young Tuxedo band on the Mosaic Atlantic New Orleans jazz sessions made me turn up the Shirley & Lee version. And thinking about the old Blue Beat ska records I remembered this EP which was a surprising release for the label (though the company's West Indian customers would have lapped it up, I dare say).

paul secor Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Sonny Rollins 'Our Man in Jazz' (French RCA Victor) The first Sonny Rollins record I heard and one of the first jazz records I heard (late 1962 or early 1963). Took me a few listens to hear some of what was going on, since it was out of the realm of my listening at the time. It's since become a favorite. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Not much vinyl today Blue Mitchell - The cupbearers - Riverside (Ace UK) That's a pretty strange sleeve; a set of 13 cups and saucers, all, apparently, different, so they were individually painted as a set - a set of 13?
