Being a Rollins fanboy (at least regarding his recordings until 1966), but this Impulse album left me somehow undecided .... as often as I (re)listened ...

This was one I could never get into for years. However, the last couple listens connected with me. Obviously, the music didn't change. I did and my ears did.

There's always hope. Who knows? Perhaps I'll come to appreciate and enjoy more even later Sonny than I do now.

Don't wanna be too negative but late(r) Sonny releases to me are marred by his choice of musicians .... btw certainly not the case with "East Broadway Run Down" ....

Yeah - that's the big problem I have, but I guess it's been discussed to death on another thread.

Togashi/Lacy/Kent - Spiritual Moments [Paddlewheel]

finally got a copy (prompted by a JeffCrom post recently). Fabulous music and the recording is really alive.

It does have something that I've noticed on a few LPs purchased from Japan, a quiet background crackle throughout (thankfully that's only really noticeable at quiet parts). The vinyl looks pristine and clean.  Is this something to do with humidity I wonder? It's improved with one clean so hoping subsequent ones will do the full job

Thanks. My knowledge of photographers/photography is sadly lacking. I'm off to do some online self-education

Yes, I often find that's the case on whatever he appears on

yes. A few cleanings can help, but this has happened to me as well. It's a combination of humidity and outgassing from the Japanese inner bags.

Thanks Clifford, it's happened enough not to be coincidence

Good record.

Lee Friedlander's photographs graced a number of Atlantic covers in the 50's-60's. He has a reputation as a fine photographer outside of the music world.
