I have a couple of them, but IMO the best ever sounding BN's are the MusicMatters 45rpm, as you know I hate flipping records every ten minutes, but have to admit they are outstanding. Quote

Daniel A Posted February 19, 2022 Report Posted February 19, 2022 Adam's Apple, abovementioned Disk Union Mono version. It actually sounds very good. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 The one I really wanted was "Soul Station" but asked him for several. Even with the combined shipping, he quoted me ~$85, which, at the rime was very high for a new pressing, even in Japan. He also said they were very expensive to ship due to their weight. Looking back, I should've just pulled the trigger. Quote

I got a couple back then (directly from Hiroshi). They were about 50 Euro each including shipping. Sound is fine, but I wouldn't be able to rate them against originals of the same titles (which I have never heard). The titles I got was Henderson's 'In' N Out', Dorham's 'Afro-Cuban' and 'Adam' s Apple'. Should have gotten additional titles really, but I couldn't afford more at the time. This series slipped by me. I am sure I haven't seen any of these albums in the records stores here. Starting with the BLP-4004, Holiday for Skins, RVG started to record on the two-track tape almost exclusively, and to fold it down to mono for LP releases. The kink in that is not all of the two-track recordings were released in stereo format until much later after the label sale. I would love to hear some of these Disk Union mono titles. I'll pay attention now. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Johnny Hodges - The Complete Johnny Hodges Sessions 1951 - 1955 (LP 2). This is the material from 1952 with Emmett Berry on trumpet; Lawrence Brown on trombone; Hodges, Al Sears on tenor; Leroy Lovett on piano; Barney Richmond or Lloyd Trotman on bass & Joe Marshall on drums. Am I the only one whose cover photo looks yellowed? I see these box sets listed on eBay and some are yellow-looking and others are white. Edited February 21, 2022 by bresna Quote

What a nice record! This is from the collection I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. Howard McGhee is such a gem on this album. Quote

Not quite as strong overall as the Tone Poet which also drew on these Jazz Standard recordings but very enjoyable nevertheless and glad to have it. The studio tracks with Iggy Pop work better than I thought they would. Lonnie also bows out on side 4 with a reprise of the title track from ‘Move Your Hand’. Pressing quality is fine to my ears.
