So you would go for the earlier twofer out of the two? I own neither on LP, but this record has followed me since I was much younger, and I always wanted to (as you may be able to tell from the Avi). I'm currently listening to a first print Nonaah by Mr. Mitchell. No need for improvement there. Edited June 26, 2021 by Rabshakeh Quote

Some Discogs comments mention copies being pressed side 1 & 4 and 2 & 3, mixing up the sessions but mine's standard Quote

Would like to hear a Tone Poet of it. The music is great. Sam signed the cover of my copy of this DMM pressing on the top white bit. Sadly, slightly smudged - although I may try it out in my LP sized picture frame. His favourite of the BN covers (from the horse’s mouth) was ‘A New Conception’. The Mosaic LPs get my vote for best sound - although the twofer is good too. 4 hours ago, kh1958 said: Salah Ragab, Egypt Strut (Strut) Good stuff. Intriguing mix of jazz big band, Egyptian music and with Souza-type marching band influences in parts. Uncategorisable ! Edited June 26, 2021 by sidewinder Quote

porcy62 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Posted June 30, 2021 NY, mono. Some times ago I bought a new mono cartridge, Phasemation, retipping my old one, Lyra, was far too costly. I felt on love with the new one after the first listening. I will buy a stereo one when my old Air Tight will need a ritipping. Absolutely astonishing. Quote

Can’t go wrong with a new stylus or retipping ! Quote

The album even got reissued on CD back in the late 90s (on Billy Martin's Amulet label), which is where I first heard it at our college radio station. Great reviews, limited distribution. But it used to be findable. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 2, 2021 Report Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Advance issue of this RSD release. The home-recorded sound is more than acceptable and the music intriguing. A few understandable fluffs from some of the band in places as they get their head around the tunes but Taylor (who apparently preferred not to be playing his own work) doesn’t put a foot wrong. In that respect, he reminds me of Monk. This is a valuable new issue - comes with a great Taylor bio booklet and a nice little poster. Edited July 2, 2021 by sidewinder Quote
