The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 Indeed, Oriole - the firm Columbia bought to start CBS UK in 1963 - was renowned as the firm that manufactured Embassy Records, which was Woolworth's own label. They also issued 1962/63 Motown records. No one worried about audio fidelity on those discs, of course MG Quote

No one worried about audio fidelity on those discs, of course MG I've still got an Embassy LP of Dave Brubeck and one called 'Jazz Giants at their Best' with Duke, Basie, Miles, Monk. Brubeck etc. Both bought for about 50p each at Woolies Quote
Leeway Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 Picked this up on RSD: Sonny Fortune's first individual leader date, on Strata-East, "Long Before Our Mothers Cried." Record and cover in very nice condition. Sonny includes a very nice dedication to his Mom on the back cover. How many jazz records do you find with that? (Might be a topic for a thread, LOL). Quote
Leeway Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Exultation! Booker Ervin, Prestige. Recorded 1963. With Frank Strozier, Horace Parlan, Butch Warren, and Walter Perkins. A little more than 40 years on from this record date, Perkins would make a duo album with Peter Brotzmann, certainly an interesting conjunction. Butch Warren died recently here in Washington DC.

Leeway Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 Re: CONTRASTS - I have the LP, but if the CD has extra material or knock-your-socks-off remastering, I'll get that too, otherwise will pass. I'm a bit of a Urs Leimgruber nut. I prefer his later, avant/free jazz playing, but the OM stuff is interesting too. Quote
Leeway Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 EGYPT STRUT - SUN RA ARKESTRA AND SALAH RAGAB. Russian Federation Vinyl Lovers, which is associated with, or the same as Lilith Records, which has a licensing agreement with Leo Records, etc, etc. I have no idea what the source is for this album (likely CD, or maybe a gussied up needle drop), and I doubt V. Putin knows either. Seen a lot of chatter in various forums but nobody has really pinned it down. I will say that the vinyl is dead quiet and the packaging is first rate. The sound is sufficiently good not to get in the way of the music. I'm usually not optimistic anyway when it comes to SQ with Sun Ra. Quote

I'm a bit of a Urs Leimgruber nut. I prefer his later, avant/free jazz playing, but the OM stuff is interesting too. I love all the OM records on Japo! Fantastic stuff. The semi-recent OM cd on Intakt is good too especially if you prefer the more avant/free improv stuff. Just finished playing: Cosmic Eye "Dream Sequence" (roundtable, Australia)...a quality reissue! super quiet vinyl pressing..sounds superb. Currently: Stockhausen "From the Seven Days" 7LP box (DG, Germany) Just record 1... Quote

If you are looking for other Leimgruber, I love the hat Art albums, but they are hard to find. The recently released "Pancake Tour" with Roger Turner on Relative Pitch Records is a good one. Quote
mjazzg Posted December 5, 2013 Report Posted December 5, 2013 Where's the best place to start with Om, Leeway (or anyone else)? I've often flirted with the idea of buying one of the Japos . Leimbgruber's doing a show in London soon of duets with Roger Turner and Evan Parker. - I think I'll take the opportunity to make his musical acquaintance Quote

I have "Kirikuki" (1976) and "Rautionaha" (1977) on JAPO vinyl. I really rate them equally. I'm told by credible folks that the album with Don Um Romao ("OM- with Dom Um Romao" 1977) is the best of the lot. I could swear that at one time I had this LP but if so, have no idea where it is. It was also released as an ECM album, as well as on JAPO. Hope this helps. . Quote
