jazzhound Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Wjat about Impulse reissues? Which ones would you recommend. I have seen a few MCA on Ebay recently. Are they any good? What about The Colubia Impulse reissues? I can recommend the Japanese Impulse reissues (MCA) - I have a few of those from Mr Tanno and they sound great ! The domestic/US MCAs are from the 1970s/80s I think and tend to be not so great - I seem to recall that the ones from the 80s are DMM. UK 70s Impulses and Red/Black US second pressings are both worth having though. the GRP reissues from 90's by Wally sound great to me.

ASNL77 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Are the BN 'Connoisseur series' LPs worth a try as well? Edited January 19, 2007 by ASNL77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Are the BN 'Connoisseur series' LPs worth a try as well? Yep, these are worth having - also way better than the DMMs. Look out for 'Wally' scribed in the runout groove. I've got quite a few of them - Mobleys, Shorters, Hutchersons etc. Especially good for the previously unreleased (apart from Japan) sessions.

clifford_thornton Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Yeah, most don't keep the original BN catalog number. I find that sad. What am I going to do with 29138 in between 4159 and 4163? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Oliver Nelson 'Blues and the Abstarct Truth' and I am very very very pleased with it. Thanks for the info, Bob. Shame they are difficult to find and a bit expensive as well.

I'll bet that one sounds great. Funnily enough my first copy of that LP (a mid-70s UK reissue) sounds pretty good too. They must have been working from very good tapes. I'll dig out my Japanese MCA of Shepp's 'Magic of Ju Ju' sometime over the weekend. Edited February 9, 2007 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
