Clunky Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Affinity was certainly a cheap label but it would be quite wrong to say they all sound poor. I've a number of examples which sound very good with very quiet surfaces. Material culled from Vee Jay, Bethlehem, BYG etc. Crap covers with nasty cover "art" but often with a thoughtful essay by Brian Priestly. Clunky, I`ve edit my post. Cool, I'd only add that they're worth going for to hear the music for not much money ( up to £4) Quote

Clunky Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Blue Bogey by Wilton "Bogey" Gaynair Japanese reissue by Atelier Sawano ( very, very good fidelity ) Yup, beats my Jasmine edition by a mile. Quote
colinmce Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 It seems like Affinity must have been a godsend in the pre-CD/mass re-issue era. Quote
mjazzg Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Anthony Braxton - this time [bYG]. complete with the trademark BYG pressing fault (nice bubble). Music's great though Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Paul that's a great Marion Brown/Mal Waldron album...I should pull that out myself to play again. Clifford how would you compare that Braxton to the other one on BYG? I have that one but for some reason never did get around to buying "this time"...is it drastically different? Tonight's playlist: Terumasa Hino "taro's mood" (Japanese enja/victor) Dave Liebman "first visit" (Philips, Japan) Alexander Von Schlippenbach "the living music" (Germany, quasar) Quote
sidewinder Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Blue Bogey by Wilton "Bogey" Gaynair Japanese reissue by Atelier Sawano ( very, very good fidelity ) That one (like all of the Sawanos - including the ones by Tubby Hayes) sounds great. The best way to hear those Tempos that is out there ! Edited June 28, 2013 by sidewinder Quote

The Sawanos are more than good enough ! Quote

mjazzg Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Oh, I'm very envious. That's a great LP Quote
mjazzg Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Clifford how would you compare that Braxton to the other one on BYG? I have that one but for some reason never did get around to buying "this time"...is it drastically different? Homefromtheforest, it was me that posted the Braxton - unfortunately I don't have the other BYG to compare but "This time..." is very strong - a nice contrast between the two sides between two long compositions and a selection of great short compostions which even had me thinking that they sounded like early distant relatives of Ghost Trance Music. I can't see anyone who enjoys Braxton of that vintage not liking this. I suspect Clifford will indeed be able to make a comparison between the two as may other Braxtonphiles amongst us Ornette Coleman - Live In Beograd ! 2011. Pressed on a clear yellow vinyl housed in a clear plastic sleeve with black lettering and limited to 500 copies, this record presents Ornette's classic quartet recorded live in ex Yugoslavia.

I can't see anyone who enjoys Braxton of that vintage not liking this. I agree, the short compositions and the one solo vocal piece are really interesting. The long form pieces on both LPs are really nice - McCall is a great addition to the core trio - and there are some beautiful melodies on Actuel 15 (the other LP). I think the music is pretty accessible, actually, though the BYG pressings don't do it any service. Quote
