Chuck Nessa Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Duke Ellington ~ Indigos Columbia Why a mono jacket and stereo record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 ^ That's happened to me before - a couple of stereo ESPs in Monaural sleeves, and I think an Impulse or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 ^ That's happened to me before - a couple of stereo ESPs in Monaural sleeves, and I think an Impulse or two. With ESP, it's pretty much a guarantee you are going to find the opposite inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 It did not happen with Columbia. In fact, the jacket is an early mono one from before the stereo was issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 My today arrival. YAY!!!!! Hope you like it. MG So what on earth's that one anyway? I don't have eyes like a hawk and never saw the sleeve, so I'm clueless ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yes, you will want the mono copy for "The Sky Fell Down". Perhaps you will want it, that is. I know I did. There's other ways to get it (most favorably on The World Of Duke Ellington, Vol. 3) but that's such a gret cut and such a great record, why not make the liner notes keep their word?

colinmce Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Anthony Braxton - Seven Standards 1985, Volume 1 (Magenta). Promo copy. I saw this record and said to myself, "Hank Jones, Rufus Reid & Victor Lewis in the rhythm section? Produced by Michael Cuscuna & recorded by Malcolm Addey? How have I not heard this before"? The answer is easy - It's because I don't have any Braxton in my CD collection. This is a really nice record. I'm glad I finally got some Braxton in my LP collection. I like these ones. I, for one, have never seen one that wasn't a promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Bob Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Duke Ellington ~ Indigos Columbia Why a mono jacket and stereo record? I found it at a thrift. At least the vinyl is in very good condition. Got my 99 cents worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 The Songs of Alec Wilder (JJA). A non-commercial promotional LP with a plain white sleeve, designed to demonstrate Wilder's songs. The performances, and the songs themselves, vary in quality - "Love All the Quiet Flower People" doesn't exactly rank with Mr. Wilder's best work, for example. But some of his best songs are here: "I'll Be Around," "The Winter of My Discontent," "Who Can I Turn To?," as well several good songs I haven't found anywhere else. Johnny Hartman is fabulous (of course) on "Gonna Be a Cold, Cold Day," Woody Herman contributes a wry "Baggage Room Blues," and I really like Mark Murphy's two songs, "Walkin' Sad" and especially "When Yesterday I Loved You." (Sorry, Larry.) I found this on Ebay about a decade ago, and it really increased my understanding of Wilder's music. And you know what - "Love All the Quiet Flower People" has an excellent, unusual melody and interesting changes. If only the lyrics weren't so painful....

Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Duke Ellington ~ Indigos Columbia Interesting to see that I'm not the only fan of direct drive Denon turntables. I've been trying to get a nice DP-62L for under $600 for a couple of years now and just missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hamiett Bluiett, Marcello Melis and Don Moye, Bars (Musica). Melis wrote all the tunes. I've often wondered about that one. How does it stack up against other Bluietts? Fine but not earth-shattering. I agree. It's more of a Melis and Moye show, than a Bluiett date. A bit eccentric at times, but interesting enough not to add to the for sale pile. Thanks guys. the copy I'd been looking at has been sold anyway. No major loss by the sounds of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I've been spinning a few records since dinnertime. The first one sounds like a bootleg, even though it's a legit Prestige release: Gene Ammons and James Moody - Chicago Concert Next up was a Japanese pressing of Lester Young with Harry Edison - Pres And Sweets (Verve) And now playing: McCoy Tyner - Extensions (Blue Note). A nice Van Gelder 1st pressing that I picked up for $4 down in CT last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A never-reissued collection by the Chicago-by-way-of Mississippi blues saxophonist and singer, with tracks from 1966 to 1984. "It ain't no fun when the rabbit's got the gun."

The original has been on my list for years... Yeah its been the missing piece in my Mal Waldron collection as well; some Italian label just recently did it...not cheap(around $35-40) but a real quality job...I don't mind reissues when they are done well..certainly cheaper then an original pressing!!
