jeffcrom Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Last "basement album" of the night - Pat Martino - El Hombre (Prestige stereo) Edit: Since I've been posting the conditions of the records, this one is around VG: nice listening, but with surface noise.

sidewinder Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 NY USA mono. Perfectly playable copy which cost me the grand sum of £2 back in the sensible era. Quote

The laminated sleeve is in pretty good condition for its age. Sonics remain excellent, apart from side 2 track 1 ‘Brazil’ staying stuck in groove unfortunately. Other than that - amazingly good considering that the vinyl looks as if it had a past life as a frisbee. Quote

Not so very long ago I bought a very early deep groove pressing of Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin' Else" for the huge investment of 1 EUR from a used record dealer - probably because the party (and maybe frisbee?) past of the vinyl was evident, including something that looks like candle wax and won't shift - though the vinyl does play through and surface noise isn't even overwhelming. And apart from one smudged area even the cover is fairly acceptable. But imagining what the vinyl must have gone through made me cringe inside too. Edited January 21, 2019 by Big Beat Steve Quote
sidewinder Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) 47W63rd DG mono. No frisbee this time, glad to say. Pristine copy. Edited January 21, 2019 by sidewinder Quote
kh1958 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Bud Freeman, Something Tender (United Artists). This was a very happy find at my visit to the Jazz Record Center in NYC a week ago. Bud Freeman playing with two guitarists, George Barnes and Carl Kress. There is no rhythm section. An unusual and beautiful record. Quote

Other than that - amazingly good considering that the vinyl looks as if it had a past life as a frisbee. I once took an LP with a skip into work where I looked at it under a microscope and performed a bit of surgery with an Exacto knife. It now plays with a decent pop, but at least it no longer skips. Another record I had used to pop and/or skip. I figured if it worked once, maybe it would again. It turned that this record had a chunk of vinyl in the groove. I popped it out and you can barely hear any pop there now. Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 Don Patterson - Patterson's People (Presting mono). Another from my real estate agent friend - probably the last I'll play before I get the rest cleaned. Quote

porcy62 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 A Ryko reissue, coloured vinyl, some bonus tracks, going on sale, I keep my old pressing. I admit Bowie, like Genesis, wasn't my cup of tea then, nor he's now. Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) The Beatles - Yesterday and Today (Capitol mono). In the canon, this is an odd US collection of singles and tracks left off the American versions of several British albums. But if there were someone who only had one Beatles album (like me), this is just about perfect - prime 1965-66 Beatles in glorious mono. Edited January 23, 2019 by jeffcrom Quote
