German reissue, early 2000s. Absolute garbage - half the band sound as though they are playing their parts from the washroom.

When are Rearward going to get round to their planned reissue of this one?

After I am done withn testing my new bedroom system with single tracks, it's back to the living room with LPs:

Contrary to the times when I purchased that album immediately after release, when I liked it very much, Carter's twangy tone with the unpleasant pickup sound now gets on my nerves. I'm close to putting this into the "for sale" box. It's even worse with the follow up studio LP, which has a rather muddy sound. My hearing has changed, but this is almost unbearable. Robert Freedman's woodwind writing is great, though.

Next, Ian Carr. I notice how much my ow musical ideas were inspired by this as I have listened to it many, many times. But as then, I find the themes are rather artficiial, honed in long sessions at the keyboard figuring out chord changes and melodic figurations. German critic Ulrich Ohlshausen's comment was that the Britisj jazzrock bands played that style better than Miles Davis himself. Oh well .......

 Next, Arnett Cobb. This is the only LP compilimg all of his Okeh/Epic 45s. It took me a long time to find it. Too bad Chronological Classics did not reach this period.

LP1 "I Talk With The Spirits"

I love how this edition sounds. So pleased I was extravagant on New Years Eve (no alcohol involved whatsoever :ph34r:)

Much better sound than original Limelight LPs.

Is that the original Vertigo? If so, hang on to it, it is quite a collectible item in 1st press.

Great cover art ! Ian Carr/Nucleus albums probably sold even more copies on the continent than they did here.

I had a closer look - indeed, looks like a first generation pressing, imported from the UK. I think I even remember the shop where I bought it.

An Epic undertaking! 

I checked and I could keep going--I have 7 LPs on Epic--Ruby Braff, Wild Bill Davis at Birdland, Earl Hines Trio and Soundtrack to All Night Long.
