Even the cover art was bad. . . A red-skinned alien holding up a red lightbulb to a disembodied face? What??? I think that's supposed to be an next-gen apple/serpent tongue/Eden thing, but either way, yeah about Wade Marcus, got him from a business pov, but never felt him from a musical one.

JSngry Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Just noticed the inner sleeve on the Tax LP, like an off-center grocery bsg, have not seen that elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even Ray Brown can make it move, or even give it the illusion of movement. It makes me appreciate Stan Kenton as a motivating force, because the approach here is Kenton-ian in terns of section work, but by god, Stan Kenton got his bands to PLAY, ok? These shit is just....AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH. OTOH, coolest picture of Bill Perkins, ever, on the back cover. I remember I once had a Liberty LP reissue (that omitted two tracks, for whatever reason), and being dissapointed - a rather routine affair, uninteresting repertoire, played well, but without the spark you expect from these players. Superfluous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Jacks Or Better by The Jimmy Russell Trio (Russell -orgsn, Hartshorne Alexander - tenor, Speed Ahamed-drums) on Cuca Records out of Sauk City, Wisconsin. About the players, I can find nothing, and what I can find of both the label and the town provide no indication whatsoever of who these guys were, why they were there, or why they were on that label. The music itself is slightly idiosyncrayic but mostly typical lounge trio organ jazz of a definiely "local" flavor, which is why...what/where the hell was "local" here, and did anybody get out alive?

JSngry Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah....whoever the previous owner of that Pony side was knew better than to write their name on the cover. Clicks I don't mind, the occasional stuck needle, hey shit haopens, but this record either had coke snorted off of it or it got sneezed on more than one or maybe both, but the groove is, like, battered and scarred. Getting up to unstick a record every few minutes is just fucked up, and whoever did this knew better than to leave a trail. They ought to have an America's Most Wanted for people who treat a record THIS badly, it's not like Pony Poindexter on Inner City is Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts, this damage was not incidental or inadvertant. Somebody needs to have that John Walsh dude on their ass, like, stat. Josie Records, otoh...8 bucks...how much would a non-abused copy cost? Store credit if you ever get one in, dammit. Give me a fuckng fire extinguisher, this record needs some disciplining! And wow, one just went on for 2-3 minutes and then fianally played through right after I wrote that. Spare the hose and spoil the record, right parents? Just one more reminder that beasts run free disguised as humans. Beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homefromtheforest Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Akira Miyazawa "yaname" (King, Japan wave jazz 1994 reissue). An original is nearly impossible to find; so this exact replica reissue from 1994 will suffice..much nicer then the early 80s King reissue. Great album from 1962 with a very young Masahiko Sato! Woody Shaw "in the beginning" (muse, USA). Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder for Blue Note but never issued at the time. So that means this fantastic session can be had cheaply...I'm sure it would cost a small fortune if it ended up a Blue Note album given the cast(Joe Henderson, Larry Young, Joe Chambers, Herbie Hancock, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Spotlite pressing is not very good, unfortunately. Mid 70's petroleum shortage and all that. Still some companies had good pressings. Not all though. Some really cheaped out. I don't know how producers could live with putting such crap on the market. And I discovered that there was no point in taking them back to the store. The next one you got would be no better. Of course you could get your money back, but then you wouldn't have the music at all. The 70's were a real crap shoot for pressing quality.
