The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 A little trip to Cardiff to book myself a few days in Paris next month and a slide into Kelly's snagged me Milt Jackson Ray Brown Jam - Pablo live (UK) Not a red transparent plastic job, just ordinary black vinyl and absolutely covered in dust (with a split cover). I bought it unheard simply because this MUST have been something someone bought and never played. I expect it'll clean up pristine after a wipe with an oily rag. MG GREAT album..... living with that one since 8 years old. Yes, I'm really enjoying it. Very nearly pristine, after a bit of buffing with a Parostatik. Very glad I got it. MG One of the few Pablo's worth keeping. That whole Montreux '77 series pretty much, (I have 9 of them) is solid. The Bags/Ray Brown session has 2 additional tracks: "Thats The Way It Is" issued on the OJC CD of the album, and "Red Top" issued on the "Jam Sessions: Montreux '77" so unless you have those, MG you may wanna be on the look out for. "Oscar Peterson Jam: Montreux '77" I recommend also. Can't say I'm too keen on OP. Nor Norman Granz - just pick up the odd thing that takes my fancy. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 Another trip to Cardiff, to get my tickets for gay Paree. A couple of weeks ago, I passed up the chance to get this in Kelly's: Earl Hines - Tour de force - Black Lion and the following day, Jim Sangrey and Larry Kart were going over the top about the LP, and I kicked meself for not getting it. Well, they're never there when you go back for them, are they? This one was, and in fine nick for a fiver! Just listening to it now. It seems MUCH more accessible than the title would suggest. Yet another demonstration of the fact that the skill of a great popular musician lies in being able to get through to people who haven't the education to appreciate his skills. Really glad I got this. And thanks to Jim and Larry. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 Now where in the name of Hell did you get that from in the UK? MG Quote
cih Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 Now where in the name of Hell did you get that from in the UK? MG Went to Whitby for a day with the family and on the way up to the Abbey poppd in a little record shop called 'Folk Devils' - which had quite a nice selection of records but this one stood out. I think the man at the counter was as surprised as me when I bought it! Quote
