Parkertown Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Side 1 of a Blue/Black label of Joe Henderson's "Inner Urge." Sounded like total crap. I think this one may have groove damage... But I didn't remember this sounding this way...dirty maybe, but not distorted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I've had three copies of that, different pressings, all having a crappy side 1. Bad luck? Who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Sunny Murray 'Big Chief' (Pathé) with Bernard Vitet, Ken Terroade, François Tusques, Beb Guerin, Alan Silva, etc... One of my favorite Murray LPs! Yeah, that Murray band was pretty wild. Was lucky to hear them live quite a number of times. Sonny Murray live is a total experience! I'd have given my first-born to see that band live. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have given my first-born to see that band live. Wow! The concerts/gigs situation in Paris at the time was really a problem You just could not keep up with the record number of opportunities to listen to people like Sonny Murray, the full AEC, Marion Brown, Archie Shepp, Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor and many more all showing up in these parts practically at the same time... Glad I attended as many as I could! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks (w/ the exception of the cut corner) and sounds perfect! When you come to think of it, that album shouldn't have been a cutout. Definitely signifies some trouble. Is it United Artists Music and Records Group, or UA (Transamerica)? In other words, was it made before or after the management buy-out?

MG I bought a bundle of those blue label cutouts myself, back in the day. I have 'Royal Flush', 'Evolution' and 'Happenings' in these versions.

Parkertown Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Right now I'm spinning a NM reissue of Miles' '61 Carnegie Hall set on Columbia. Says "electronically rechanneled for stereo", but I don't think it is. Enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Manufactured by UA, if'n you can see it in the pics. Yes, it's UA Music and Records Group, from the label. So that was after the management buy-out. If they were flogging off Horace Silvers dirt cheap to the cutout merchants, rather than keeping them as a steady seller, they must have been in REAL trouble. I always assumed EMI bought the company as a decently going concern. This suggests otherwise. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Purchased a number of those BN blue labels myself at the time and found not much to complain about as far as the audio was concerned Yes, they are amazingly good and most seem to have the 'Van Gelder' in the runout. I suspect that the 'Happenings' is at least as good as the stereo/ear original (the mono of that one seems to be a duffer). Some of the Blue/Black Liberties are amazingly good too. Particular mention for Freddie Roach's 'Down To Earth' on that pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Manufactured by UA, if'n you can see it in the pics. Looking at the labels I would say that these originate from 1977-78. I have a few UK issues from around that time (part of the first reissue batch after something of a haitus). BN issued a load of well known issues - 'Sidewinder', 'Bud Powell Vols 1 and 2' etc., as well as some relative obscurities such as Don Cherry 'Where Is Brooklyn' and 'Roots and Herbs'. Still have these pressings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
