sidewinder Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the abstract... Impulse UK from 1976- very quiet pressing That was the first version of that one I bought - still have it. The US orig. is better sounding but the 70s UK Impulse is fine. Turns out they were working from an early generation set of master tapes I believe, for those 70s reissues. Still remember the excitement of picking up that one and 'Africa Brass' up in Taunton back in 1976 (at a vinyl emporium now long gone). Cost was about £3.50 each - not cheap back then. They came with US sleeve liners too (with lots of 'foxing'). I'll stick with my Beatles Mono Box CDs for the 'White Album'.

kh1958 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I continued my lucky Blue Note streak by finding a copy of Ornettte Coleman At the Golden Circle Volume 2 (NY USA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I picked up a used copy of Gary Giddins' "Satchmo: The Genius of Louis Armstrong" that was inscribed by Giddins to John Lewis and his wife Mirjana.

colinmce Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 For some reason I was the sole bidder on a perfectly fine looking copy of Afternoon of a Georgia Faun: 98 cents. There was another, plain old copy with multiple bidders up to nearly $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on my wish list for quite some time, but I have no idea what type of music this really is ... Hope chewy doesn't mind me giving my opinion. It's basically hip bachelor pad music with some jazz touches - mostly in the form of improvised solos by Watkins and Eddie Costa. I like it a lot, for what it is - just don't expect a Jazz album with a capital "J." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Music Improvisation Company ECM 1005 - US pressing - £10 - probably not a great find really but about as much as I'd pay for this sort of music. Interesting and most un-jazz like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah, that's about what I paid for mine years ago. I think I like the Incus LP a bit better. And, from there, Iskra 1903 I feel is even more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 i didnt get it yet but i saw this crazy weird joe henderon lp from 1977 today, joe was going crazy. it was free jazz-city. joe and a trio. it really didnt even sound like joe, i mean it was his tone but not his style, at all....i went with a kenny burrell and jack mcduff lp on prestige instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom in RI Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 But for the insistent posts by Jim Sangrey I might have passed, but today I picked up Hadley Caliman's Iapetus for $5. Cover is M-, the record probably is VG+ to M-, I'll have to listen to it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Since I'm rather sure it's an original 1956 pressing now: Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book Love the music, great to have the LP as well now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 question... didn't buy this one: "The Big Challenge" Never saw the cover before (got the Fresh Sound CD)... is this the original cover? Or are there various editions with this cover? Should I walk not run to grab it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) I have the original lp and have never seen that stupid graphic. Edited December 18, 2011 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
