easier to file in this package

Yep.

I put the discs from that set in regular jewel cases, so they're accessible on my CD shelves for that very reason.

I would have been sure that this is something very very similar like "Aghartha". Almost same cover art.

Funny you mention the cover's similarity to Agharta. I thought the same, Gheorghe.

In 1970, Freddie recorded both Red Clay and Straight Life.  Two stone-cold classics.

 

Both very, very good records!

Now spinning:

Always enjoyable to hear Red Garland with Paul Chambers & Art Taylor.

the mastering may have a bit more care than the previous releases under Dorn supervision.

Good, thanks, I thought the Dorn mastering on the 32Jazz Left Bank material was fairly atrocious.   Walton, Getz, Hubbard, Stitt come immediately to mind.  Not sure if I have any other Left Bank 32Jazz material.  That whole label was a mess in some ways, from the reimagined cover art (especially "The Moontrane", but lots of others.  Muse did some great album covers until they decided half-naked women was the way to go) to the anthology track selection (anthologies aren't a good modern jazz idea anyways, and to make a Carlos Garnett Muse anthology be only 40 minutes, and burn 1/3 of that on "Taurus Woman"?  Really?).  Yet they did things like reissue "The Free Slave" which were amazing.

From the (now) late Mark Stewart ...

I only read right now that he passed away last week. That's a blow; he was only 62.

The Pop Group was hugely important for my musical education, but I also loved -and still like- the industrial dub cut-ups of his later albums.

Thats Craig Taborn with Christian McBride and Tyshawn Sorey.

Well. . . the mastering is only a part of the problem with Left Bank issues--the source material is uniformly. . . just above mediocre. But the releases under Zev's direction sound better.

Had some interactions with Russo in Chicago from 1966 through the 1980s.

One of the best BN albums of the 60´s, with the best playing of all of them and incredible fantastic tunes. 
 

I never was a fan of the organ, but Larry Young really is exiting on that. Strange to say I don´t get the same feeling from his other BN albums. Well the one with Sam Rivers is also tops, but this one is the best. 
I had another "Of Love and Peace" but can listen only to "Seven Steps to Heaven". The first long tune just is not mine.

One of my favourites , I don´t have so much Wes Montgomery, but I have the Incredible Guitar, So Much Guitar, a Montgomery Trio (I think those are Riverside), and most of all I love the live dates here like this, and "Full House" with Griff and Miles Davis´ Rhythm Section......
