Bebop and Beyond (Concord). I saw this group in 1984 at Kimbell's in San Francisco.

Switched to to the same music on this

 

Punchier sound, better bass presence, denser

Interesting. So you would go for the earlier twofer out of the two? 

I own neither on LP, but this record has followed me since I was much younger, and I always wanted to (as you may be able to tell from the Avi).

I'm currently listening to a first print Nonaah by Mr. Mitchell. No need for improvement there.

Yes, the twofer sounds better to my ears (it's cheaper too).  Some Discogs comments mention copies being pressed side 1 & 4 and 2 & 3, mixing up the sessions but mine's standard

Sam rivers - Dimensions & Extensions [Blue Note, 1986]

the DMM release, sounds OK but a bit thin. Would like to hear a Tone Poet of it.  The music is great.

Sam signed the cover of my copy of this DMM pressing on the top white bit. Sadly, slightly smudged - although I may try it out in my LP sized picture frame.

His favourite of the BN covers (from the horse’s mouth) was ‘A New Conception’.

The Mosaic LPs get my vote for best sound - although the twofer is good too.

Salah Ragab, Egypt Strut (Strut)Image result for salah ragab egypt strut records records store day

Good stuff. Intriguing mix of jazz big band, Egyptian music and with Souza-type marching band influences in parts. Uncategorisable  !

NY, mono.

Some times ago I bought a new mono cartridge, Phasemation, retipping my old one, Lyra, was far too costly. I felt on love with the new one after the first listening. I will buy a stereo one when my old Air Tight will need a ritipping. Absolutely astonishing.

My copy is a NY mono with double sided deep groove. An unusual combination.

Can’t go wrong with a new stylus or retipping !
