👍- as 2xLP from 1968 on my shelf - JCOA Records Virgin JD 3001 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Last night at his gig, I bought Jaleel Shaw's "The Soundtrack Of Things To Come" (Changu Records). I have yet to play it but at first glance, whoever is in charge of their graphics need to take a better peek at the final artwork before sending it to the printer. I can't read all of the track names, even with my reading glasses. Whoever did the scan for discogs cranked up the contrast & brightness significantly. The original looks much darker than this scan.

I bought this when it was released directly from Jaleel’s website and mine is crisp and clear.

There are some interesting recordings on the Entropy Stereo label. I recently discovered Griot Galaxy / Faruq Z Bey, so much of the catalog got my attention.

I noticed these on DG's website but ordered direct from the label, which has free shipping on CDs. Their website is worth perusing: https://entropystereo.com/catalog.html

(Griot Galaxy Live at the DIA  - 2 cd)

Took home two total obscurities today - found at 2.50 EUR each in the special offer bins:

1)
Joe Burton Trio, "Subtle Sounds" (Joday Records JD-1000):
https://www.discogs.com/release/16826433-Joe-Burton-Subtle-Sound

Clearly a reissue (despite what Discogs says), but I am sort of amazed at the prices this seems to sell for elsewhere. Looks like one of those 80s facsimile reissues that are neither Fresh Sound nor VSOP but likely US-based. 

BTW, in case anyone knows:
Am I right in assuming that this Joe Burton is NOT the pianist Joe Burton listed in the discographies (e.g Bruyninckx) who recorded for Trend, Regent and Coral from 1953 to 1957 and is lumped in with the above LP artist in the listing there. His bio in the digital version of Bruyninckx does not read like any of the info on the back cover of this Joday LP. (No, I had not been familiar with any of these Joe Burtons but at these prices I am inclined to take chances with obscure records from the 50s/early 60s) 

2)
Swiss All Stars (CD reissue of a rare recording from 1964) on Sonorama (!) C-59.

Nice to find a Sonorama item at such a giveaway price.

Today, I went to our county Library Sale.  I brought home 19 CDs -- all at $2 per disc.  

Most of them were classical CDs.  Not much selection jazz-wise.  But still good fun.
