Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Miles Davis "kind of blue" (Columbia, stereo 6-eye). I recently sold my mono 6 eye and Canadian pressing 6-eye as I decided I did not need 8 different versions of this record. I find the stereo edition to sound the best..a few clicks at the beginning of each side but quite clean afterwards. I also kept the 50th anniversary vinyl box edition, a 70s Japanese pressing, and the SACD which sounds incredible.I had a 6 eye mono & a 6 eye stereo. I preferred the stereo by a lot. Then I picked up the Legacy 50th Anniversary Edition and I liked that even more. Lastly, I picked up the Newbury Comics limited edition blue pressing and that one has become my "go to" pressing. The funny thing is, the mono that is getting the big bucks these days is by far the worst-sounding LP version of this that I heard. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name - (Atlantic, US orig)some great stuff on that record!

clifford_thornton Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I didn't hold onto the singles - don't think they're as good as that first LP, to be honest. Side two of the Cros kicks ass.Now:Various Artists - The Other Side of Blue Note 1500 Series - (Toshiba/Blue Note, JP)wrapping up LP 1 of this fine 3 LP compilation, probably rendered useless by all the nice augmented CDs we've got now, but it's still an excellent overview of 1950s Blue Note material, all of it left off of the original titles.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 I'm wishing I found something more interesting to play to start off the day.

Time to dig out ! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 That duet between Thad and Burrell (an extra from 1513) is really gorgeous. I actually don't have the Detroit-New York Junction LP and should probably grab a copy at some point, come to think of it... (likely not an original, haha) Quote
JohnS Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 Despite having more less everything elsewhere I don't think I could part with "The Other Side Of Blue Note Box". It was a real treasure when it was released. Quote
mjazzg Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 Grachan Moncur III - Evolution [Blue Note, EMI France/DMM] (sadly)every time I get this out I'm surprised to see Lee Morgan's name. I really should be used to it after twenty or so years Quote
mjazzg Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 Peter Kuhn - Ghost Of A Trance [Hat Hut]featuring some great Phillip Wilson and William Parker on tuba. Quote

Have not played this in many years.."poor Eric" is such a beautiful track..and Clifford Jarvis!Clifford Jarvis was one underrated drummer.Lived in London for many years and passed away over here I think. Have come across musicians who used to jam with him. He was pretty low key in his years here. Edited September 10, 2015 by sidewinder Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Ralph Towner "solstice" (ECM, Germany) easily one of my top ten ecms of all time... Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Ralph Towner "solstice" (ECM, Germany) easily one of my top ten ecms of all time...Mine too. When I was dabbling with jazz in 1976 this was one of the records that made me want to look further. Quote
