How is the music and sound on this one (recent reissue, presumably?)

This is a Third Man pressing and the sound is fine but not audiophile I’d say. I used to have the Verve LPR that they reissued probably about 20 years ago but somehow lost it or something.  Coleman is not on a par with Jimmy Smith or any organ master but I still like it. It’s a good organ date.

Thanks for that.

Spinning 'The Descendents of Mike and Phoebe' Strata-East/Pure Pleasure LP. Part of a sale package received from Pure Pleasure on their discontinuation of the Strata-East catalogue.

Yeah, I would put Ming at the top of the heap too -- along with New Life.

I didn't realize that they were discontinuing those.  Bummer.   

Oh well.  All good things come to an end.

Bought an original Mike and Phoebe sealed years ago in New York City. It is a great Strata-East record.

The announcement seemed to be low-key and they were withdrawn from sale within the week. Most were about the £10 mark, doubles such as 'Glass Bead Games' about £20. I picked up about 15, the titles I didn't have.

Don't think I have ever come across an original. Glad I took a punt on the Pure Pleasure - not bad for £10 !

They screwed up with underpaying on the postage but on the whole, not complaining. There's a couple more I wish I'd gone for. 😀

[clifford_thornton]

I had the John Gordon originals and sold them -- didn't get too inspired by the music. I think I was able to get nearly a grand for Erotica Suite, and that was pre-pandemic pricing. Would like to get World of the Children at some point -- it's a very nice record.

I hadn't heard about that at all. I've never been entirely convinced by PP's bona fides and this only adds to my feelings.

I also never got on with their mastering of the SE and Nimbus West titles I bought from them, always a bit bright and loud for my ears.

I've always been pretty happy with their Toliver Strata-Easts and considering the somewhat iffy quality of 70s vinyl of that era from the USA (crap shoot at best), they can be a pretty good option, being nicely done. Especially so at the £10 price point.

The notification was by email for those on the Pure Pleasure mailing list. Initially I thought it was for just a couple of titles in low stock but turns out that it was for all titles they still had in stock (some being already sold out).

Good to hear. That fine tune 'Avotja' is on it so that persuaded me to get it. The solo LP was also on offer but alas, failed to get that one.
