paul secor Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Thelonious Monk: The London Collection Volume 1 (Black Lion/Org) Wondering if you could comment on the sound and quality of the pressing? I've been going back and forth on whether or not to purchase this lately. Thanks in advance. Sound quality is great - best I've heard for this session - and the pressing is pristine. Quote

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 TRICKY LOFTON & CARMELL JONES - Brass Bag (1962 Dutch mono 8-track LP ) again, this is so much better than the pac jazz orig. ive not found too many uk or european versions like this but i have a few and theyre all amazing. i have this esquire or something pressing of Paul Chambers delegation from the east on JazzWest-- it sounds better most originals. its all in the quality of the vinyl, and the covers look way better too as well. i have lots of these in rock/pop, but not in jazz. the only drawback is they are not as indestructible like the US versions, i cant just plop them in one of my many record piles. they vinyl is fragile as glass on some of them, i have them in a special area Quote
jcam_44 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Donald Bailey - So In Love Only gotten to listen to Side 1 so far. LP was in rough shape due to being dirty when I bought it two years ago. Cleaned it with wood glue and I'm getting to hear it for the first time. Awesome. Quote

jeffcrom Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 David Mack 'New Directions' (Columbia Lansdowne, mono) Didn't know anyone else here knew that album. I have the U.S. version on Serenus, with this cover: Despite Max Harrison's high praise for this album, the music more interesting than great, I think. But I haven't spun it for awhile; I'll do that soon. Quote

jeffcrom Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Olympia Brass Band - Mardi Gras '77 (OBB). This is a three-tune, seven-inch 33 RPM EP. Discographical info is scarce, but I hear Milton Batiste on trumpet and vocals, Harold Dejan on alto, two hot trombonists, Emanuel Paul and (I think) David Grillier on tenors, two tubas (Allen Jaffe is one, I think), snare drums, bass drum, and percussion. Wonderful stuff. Quote
