What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Teasing the Korean]

Sy Mann - Switched On Santa - Pickwick

produced by the great Jean Jacques Perrey.

I really, really fucked up not buying the International Polydor issue of that thing for $10 in about 1997. I haven't seen it for that price since! Great record, of course...

If you're speaking of the Tolliver lp, I just picked it up for $6.00!

if not,

nevermind.

Seems about right for the Arista pressing.

The last time I saw the original Polydor, it was "add a zero to the $10 price..."

Does the Polydor have better sound or does it fetch that price because it's the original release??

Probably the latter, though I am not sure. It's scarce in any event.

I'll add that when I upgraded from the Dave Burrell Arista to the Douglas original (w/o extra tracks, mind you), the sound was fuller and more dynamic than the Arista-Freedom. With respect to the Cecil Nefertiti twofer, I have a 70s Fantasy blue-label issue and the Dutch Fontana. The Fontana sounds fantastic; the fantasy less so. The quality of the vinyl is pretty different between those two.
