Just finished - Zoot Sims - Suitably Zoot (Pumpkin Productions 108) - Al Cohn (tracks: A1, A2), Richie Kamuca (tracks: A1, A2), Zoot Sims (tracks: A1, A2, B1, B2); Bob Brookmeyer (tracks: B1, B2); Dave Frishberg (tracks: A1, A2), Roger Kellaway (tracks: B1, B2); Bill Crow (tracks: B1, B2), Tommy Potter (tracks: A1, A2); (tracks: B1, B2), Mel Lewis (tracks: A1, A2)

This is another decent record from Pumpkin Productions, which I assume was a bootleg label in from the late 70's. They appear to have modeled their back artwork on the Xanadu label. Were they related? Flimsiest vinyl though... it's like one of those records you used to punch out of the back of a cereal box. :)

Now playing - Duke Robillard - Swing (Rounder) - Duke Robillard (g, v), Scott Hamilton (ts), Chrisy Flory (g - "Glide On"), Jim Kelly (g - "Jim Jam"), Mik LeDonne (p), Phil Flanagan (b), Chuck Riggs (d).

Nice try by Robillard but to my ears he sounds better in a straight blues setting, rocking it out a bit. This is a bit tame.

Sons Of Kemet - Your Queen Is A Reptile [Impulse]

antidote to the weekend's jamboree. Good to see the Impulse! logo gracing music of statement and intent again

Paul Bley -----Touching-------(Fontana UK) mono 

 

My copy of this 1965 original issue turns out to be stereo despite mono marked on the record labels. Sound is   slightly stronger compared to the 1969 UK edition ( with the creepy hand)

John Brim/Little Hudson: Classic Early 1950s Chicago Blues (Flyright)

A quote in the liner notes from Little Hudson about the music business (which he left in the mid-60s to become an electrician): "It's all right if you're at the top, but a local man ain't got no business out there."

my guess is they ran out of stereo jackets and just used the extra mono sleeves.

I’ll buy that.

Being 1965, mono was still the ‘norm’ over here, of course. Most of these would have been destined for radiograms !

I thought I'd join in this game too.

Mine appears to be the same - stereo sound but with mono labels (with "not for sale" stamped on) but not in a stereo sleeve
