Don Patterson with David "Fathead" Newman - Mellow Soul

Prestige LP 7510 with green label, probably a 1970's re-pressing. Bought from a GEMM seller for € 20 incl. postage, very good condition. I'll never understand why there never was a OJC of this. Maybe a RVG?

Glad to see you've got that at last. It wasn't from Bert, then?

No - that's a good source, but I spent so much on OJCs in the last two months I went for the cheaper option, and this copy I got is real good - no pops or ticks, just a little distortion in the last full stop chords.

p.s. As with every Patterson LP, there's a terrific ballad performance: this time it is "These Foolish Things" - Newman plays a fine solo here, too.

Now playing a Cal Tjader Savoy EP with Hank Jones, Al McKibbon and Kenny Clarke. I have a 1970's LP reissue of this, but the EP sounds better and is in surprisingly good condition. This isssue is missing in existing discographies - 45s are somewhat negelected.

Freddie Roach - The Soul Book (Prestige)

Donald Byrd & Pepper Adams (Warwick)

Blue Mitchell - Bantu Village (Blue Note) - trying to see if it can grow on me; there are a couple of decent tracks, but overall it's bleah! ;)

Cal Tjader's LATIN CONCERT. Fantasy blue label, which means it was pressed sometime in the 60's? I know it's not an original because it's not that wonderful red vinyl (plus it has a very decidedly 60's picture of Cal on the back instead of the original liner notes). Still, I love watching that blue Fantasy label spin around, and this sounds even better than the OJCCD of this title! Al McKibbon's bass (the REAL Big Al!) sounds like it's right in front of me!

I believe the red vinyl was used for mono and the blue for stereo. So, you may have an original stereo pressing.

That's correct.
