Cactus Bob Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Is that an EP? It only looks about 7" square. MG Looks Fishy huh? It's a CD cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Tony Aless - Long Island Suite (Roost). I was totally unaware of this 1955 album, but it's good. Nick Travis, Dave Schildraut, Billy Bauer are on hand, as are trombonists "Moe and Joe" - aka Jay and Kai. It has had a Japanese EMI CD issue, but otherwise has resisted digitization.Another spin of this excellent and intriguing album. Given how it looked when I bought it, I'm still amazed at how relatively good it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 John Graas - Jazz Lab 1 (Decca). Unfortunately, a really terrible... I was going to say "pressing," but it's not vinyl - it's one of those Decca injection-molded plastic records. What would you call that - a "squeezing?" The UK version is just fine . During what period did Decca use this method of production.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why folks melted their discs just to take a shot with their valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During what period did Decca use this method of production.? All the ones I have are from 1954-56. I've seen some similar squeezings on some discount labels (and the Tony Aless Roost LP I recently posted about), but Decca/Brunswick was the only major label I know of who tried this. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now playing: Paul Bley - Barrage (ESP). Mine has the red cover (and labels) as shown, rather than the more common black. I think it's the original issue - someone correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat session.Right now Found a sealed copy. Wish it sounded better, but I really love the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Freddie Roulette - Sweet Funky Steel (Janus) Que es? Yes, I wondered, too... MG It's cool, is what it is - lap steel-playing bluesman Freddie Roulette playing instrumental R & B in LA, 1973. It was produced by Harvey Mandel, who plays on a couple of tracks. Among the other sidemen are Sugarcane Harris and Victor Conte, who played bass with Tower of Power and later became a "sports nutritionist" who helped lots of athletes with their doping. Now playing: Horace Silver - Blowin' the Blues Away (BN UA dark blue label) Edited April 10, 2013 by jeffcrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
