Is the box lined in ermine?

I used to have a Prestige blue label of this album, many years ago. I wasn't that into it and purged it without a second thought. Now, Eastern Sounds is one of the most desirable jazz albums among a certain set of collectors. I haven't listened to it in decades but part of me would not mind having that old copy just to cash in!

My version is this one -

It's like the House Of Lords but less anachronistic

Always been a favourite so i guess I must be amongst  that "certain set" although do I detect a hint of disapproval of them? 

I have a slightly noisy copy of this pressing

and hopefully not so full of dross..  Seriously though, looks like a nice package.

I’ll have to spin my copies of this. I think the Fontana is a factory sample but will have to check. I’ve also got an early OJC and from my recollection that sounds pretty good too.

ha, no disapproval of the "certain set," just never was my cuppa.

Given it a spin - mono, sounds fine, not a sample. Have to say, I prefer the earlier Savoy and Verve material and the later Impulses.

Sheila Jordan - Portrait Of Sheila [Blue Note, NY Mono 1962]

[clifford_thornton]

nice one! 

[sidewinder]

Got the vinyl just before they sell out. It’s noticeably punchier than the CD, so well worth getting hold of. Important issue !

Andrew Cyrille/Peter Brotzmann - In Berlin [FMP, West Germany 1983]

Been too long since Brotzmann has been on the turntable. Cyrille is masterful.

That's one of my favourite JiB releases. I should buy the LP version.
