If you like Mini-lp cds (japanese imports)

[skeith]

J&R is selling a huge number of these mini lps (K2s) - all Prestige and related label stuff- mostly classic stuff from 50s and 60s : Trane, Monk, Rollins etc. but also some 80s stuff that was released in Japan only - Kenny Drew etc.

They are selling what appear to be four or five undred of these at $14.99 each.

strangely - they are not in the jazz section, but yes on the jazz floor (2nd floor) near the windows that overlook City Hall Park.

I am not connected with J&R - I just shop there and wanted to let interested folks know.

That's actually just about list price for these reprints. They are listed at 1500 yen. A few stores were selling them for around $10 each when they came out a few years ago. I believe they are straight re-pressings of the original mini-LP disc and the sound is usually very good.

It'd be nice to browse their offerings. Now that the VICJs have been replaced with UCCOs (and seemingly different remastering), the original editions are harder to find, at least some that I'm still looking for. Even Hiroshi couldn't find some for me.

I noticed today they have even more on the first floor which is generally where they keep rock music
