Well it’s been a while since I posted something but of course I had to review the new Sam release. Five stars from me: it’s very very Mal and very very good! https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2024/11/1970-mal-waldron-trio-rat-nowparis-70.html?

They’ll end up on Discogs. For exclusive prices probably

That was my way to go as well but didn’t always had the desired effect. With the lighter fuel you’re able to get the glue residue as well. Definitely worth a try 👍

Now it would be a nice gift this Christmas. My birthday as well. But it probably won’t happen.

I know some people really don’t care for the condition of their sleeves. I do like to keep them as neat as possible and if there’s one thing I really hate it’s ugly unremovable stickers. And with unremovable I mean the whole sleeve gets damaged as you’re trying to peel it off…. I tried something I learned from a YouTube video and it worked like magic I must say. The secret ingredient is lighter fuel. You need to soil the sticker for 3 minutes than carefully remove the stickers. As soon as you feel it don’t come off repeat the treatment. I managed to remove an ugly green sticker from my Noah Howard Live In Berlin LP without a trace

I’ll write a detailed review on my blog and will definitely share here of course

This just arrived in the mail from France ❤️ carefully packed. Can’t wait but have to until Thursday to give it a a spin. The gatefold looks lovely. Very excited for this.

Funny you mention this Gheorghe as I had a similar experience at the Bimhuis in somewhere like 2008. Mr. Sanders just finished his diner and sat right beside me. I brought me a copy of Village of the Pharoahs with me for the occasion but when I had the chance I didn’t dare to ask. He had such an expressive and serious face I feared he might get angry I bothered him with something like a signature while he was drinking his drink with his band. After this I’ve heard he was a very kind and warm personality and always regretted I did not ask him. Now playing my probably most cherished boxed set: CD1: the unissued sessions with no less than Charles Tolliver, Pat Patrick, Bennie Maupin, Ron Carter and Ben Riley. My God this is good.

From you that’s all I need to know 👍

Great one!

the duo at its best.

not something I play too often but if I do it remains a wonderful experience. I always put the lights out and close my eyes for 40 minutes. Fascinating soundscape.

okay Craft did a very good job again. This is a huge improvement to the MOV copy I used to own.

But you said you are not a completist. It would be fair to sell your cd copy and buy the vinyl copy anyway, even though you can't play it 😝

Should I get Schizophrenic Blues as well?
