Wow! Never seen these before!

 

Looks like all of the old BYG titles are being reissued on CD by Japanese labels. There are some related threads on the "Re-issues" subforum. It's more or less carpe diem because they sell out relatively fast.

I've been in Chicago since Monday, and my wallet is ready to shoot me, but after Signal Records and Reckless down the street on Milwaukee, I don't know how I am going to get through Dusty Groove without refinancing my home.

So far:

Stanley Cowell. Brilliant Circles. Freedom Japan mini LP. 

Albert Ayler. Spirits, Debut Japan mini LP (upgrade from some mid-level label I have).

Cecil Taylor. Live at the Cafe Montmartre. Freedom Japan mini LP (original cover art!)

Paul Bley. Touching. Japan mini LP ( Röling art).

Dewey Redman. Look for the Black Star. Japan mini LP (Röling art).

Gabor Szabo. Spellbinder (Verve digi pak).

Lee Konitz. At Storyville. Storyville Japan mini LP 2 CD set.

Zoot Sims and Bob Brookmeyer. Tonight's Music Today. Storyville Japan mini LP 2 CD set.

Bobby Hutcherson. Total Eclipse. BN Japan Budget (upgrade from the original CD issue).

Milt Jackson. Bag's Opus. UA/BN, not a club edition!

Jimmy Smith. At Club Baby Grand, vols I & II, BN Japan Budget

Dizzy Reece. Blues in Trinity. BN Connoisseur. Long story short, when my first daughter was 2, she spilled milk on the R's and this was one of the casualties. Bought the TOCJ because the Connie went OPP but it was missing the last three tracks. Nearly 25 years later...got it back!) 

Kai Winding. The Incredible Trombones... impulse! Japan. Have the LP sleeve framed on the wall, now I can listen to the music! (I do not have a operating turntable)

Larry Young. Young Blues. OJC. 'Nuff said.

LOLs. I may be homeless by the end of the week, but I will have the most kick-ass cd collection around!

A note about Reckless Records, it's not quite the same as it was when I was in Chicago 15 years ago. Far more care was given to CD's then now. For example, I'm sure we CD/LP collectors know that sunlight fades/ruins the colors on CD spines/covers, but Reckless is kinda', well, reckless. They put the jazz CD's right by the window, right in front of the sunshine, and the Impulse and Atlantic spines suffered the most, because of the orange and red colors. I probably would've bought more, but the damage to the CD art was already done. A shame.

In the city of Gent I saw boxes with LP’s outside in full bright sunlight at 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit)….
