What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Pim]

Hurray after two trashed sleeves finally a good copy. Now I am not as sensitive as some listeners but: I could definitely hear this is a huge improvement from the 75th anniversary version. Glad I managed to sell that one

Is that an orignal pressing? Those are pretty rare. I never got into Doyle btw.

[kh1958]

Sali Sidibe et Son Orchestre volume 1

No personnel listed but Zani Diabate is definitely on guitar.

The German repress, also reasonably hard to find but not the same scarcity value.

Doyle's a bit of a self-parody, to my mind. But he's the most extreme of the extreme, and I admire that. Paul Flaherty would love to be able to challenge that kind of danger.

Great, great record. He was totally serious, but in this music, certainly falls within the range of "outsider artists." Glad he was here to do what he did.

Like it a lot. Sounds warm and lifelike, easy to use and nice design. Very satisfied. Are you considering buying one yourself? I know @Rabshakehhas the P3 which an upgrade to the P2 but of course also more expensive.

This, basically. You can't fake being Arthur Doyle.

Thinking about it.  I still have an ancient Pioneer PL-516 that I paid $15 for.

At the same time, I had an instructive experience recently when both Nommo and Babi were finally re-released.

Both records I knew very well, but had never played back to back, at least until the re-release.

Because of their similar covers and the Milford Graves' name, I'd always viewed them as equivalent, despite the chronological gap.

But listening to them together, back to back, one is sublime free jazz, and the other is an exercise in musical extremism for it's own sake.

Which is fine, but that's what Doyle is, basically. Sometimes you want the musical terrorism.

All that said and done, I'm glad I got Alabama Feeling, finally.

I am embarrassingly ignorant on hi Fi matters. I had the same turntable for years and it was fine. I upgraded to the P3 and it felt like I had a whole new record collection. Not it sounds less good, though. I have no idea why. I know I need better speakers and probably better wires. But it just don't know where to start.

Probably with speakers ....

Hugo Montenegro - The Man from UNCLE (RCA, stereo)

Harry Betts - The Jazz Soul of Dr. Kildare (Choreo, stereo).  Surprised to learn that this album was released on a Mobile Fidelity gold CD.  On the other hand, the musician lineup is pretty amazing.
