 Great 3 LP  box

Ah, one of my favorite Columbia box sets from the LP era. It had/has great sound and was my major introduction to the First Herd. The Mosaic has replaced it in my listening, but I have a very soft place in my jazz heart for this one!

okay Glass Bead Games might be a slightest bit better but I have a huge soft spot for this excellent release. Clifford Jordan with dream bands. I love it. 
 

Have to say that all EU and American pressing plants could learn a lot from this Japanese manufacturer. Vinyl is cleaner than clean and flatter than flat. Even the Tone Poets and Acoustic Sounds records come with dust and dirt these days but on this one: not a slightest spot.

Chris Botti - Vol. 1 (Blue Note). Jazzier than his usual stuff but still skates really close to the smoother side of things. I am enjoying it but I don't think it'll be put on when I'm looking for some foot tapping.

@PimThat looks a great edition, is it the latest P-Vine 45rpm?

I prefer this album to GBG and have a UK original but that looks very tempting

It is indeed. Ordered it January but was only released and shipped last week. It’s a great reissue but it is a vinyl rip. A great sounding one though.

Thanks, in my Discogs cart waiting for a moment of weakness...

Only Japanese sellers so far, wondering if it will get closer distribution

Got mine at: JPC.de and I think SoundOhm will get it as well. I’d say this will probably end up at Honest John as well won’t it?

 Yes, or Juno.  Listening to my UK original it sounds pretty good so may not need to upgrade 

It has finally prompted me to order the Pure Pleasure GB Games. I'm never sure about Pure Pleasures as I find the bass is often a bit too boosted so 🤞

I think you will not be disappointed. It really sounds amazing and it’s well balanced. Enjoy!

Thanks, I shall just pretend it's not a PP release when I listen the first time 😄

Now onto

Clifford Jordan - Inward Fire [Muse, 1978]
