MEV - Leave the City - (BYG Actuel FR)

766523.jpg

My today`s arrival:

Chris Woods Plus G. Arvanitas Trio* - Chris Meets Paris Meets Chris

Nice - not an easy score.

Vinny Golia - Spirits in Fellowship [Nine Winds]

Also not an easy one to find - excellent. :tup

Yep, good John Carter on there.

Joseph Jarman & Famoudou Don Moye - Egwu Anwu (sun Song) [india Navigation]

recent acquisition, very pleased

and yes, Colinmce, the John Carter is very nice on that Golia (I just wish a previous owner hadn't scratched one of the tracks - why oh why?)

'Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge at the Opera House' (Verve DG mono)

$T2eC16d,!)QE9s3HF4SlBRTC-S!QU!~~60_35.J

Excellent sounding LP which captures Hawk's big sound perfectly. This one has Stanley Dance's personal stamp on the back with a Braintree, Essex address and some ancient telephone exchange number. Wikipedia says he left Braintree for the US in 1959 so must have been the original owner. Track timings are marked on there too so my guess is that he put these in for a Jazz Journal review way back then. Nice ! :cool:

I haven't heard that Chris Woods futura lp in over 20 years! It was one of my first "rare" finds in my early days of record hunting and I sold it pre-eBay to make money to fund my rather narrow musical wants at the time...would love to hear it again with my (hopefully) more enlightened ears.

Love that MEV lp, Clifford! Much more listenable then "the sound pool"...

Yeah, Sound Pool is kind of ridiculous. I'm a big fan of Friday but alas only have it on CD. Leave the City was actually an unauthorized use of the MEV name, apparently, as it was a French offshoot led by Ivan Coaquette (who had collaborated with MEV in Rome). It's a cool psych/drone record, though. Finally pulled a copy of the Horo (I used to say "never more than $50 for a Horo" - had to finally pay the piper) but it's yet to arrive.

Yup I know that story about this MEV "offshoot"..I'm actually a big fan of Ivan's "spacecraft" lp and the 3 Fondation cassettes as well...excellent stuff. "United patchwork" is worth every cent...probably my personal favorite! Which reminds me I STILL have not listened to all of that MEV 4cd box on New World yet! :(

"Friday" is pricey on vinyl for sure....I love Alvin Currans first few solo records as well..

Tonight's listening:

Speed Limit "s/t" (chant du monde, France)

Full Moon Ensemble "crowded with loneliness" (superfly reissue on 180gm vinyl, France...just got this today and box looked a bit bent out of shape and, of course, vinyl has a big edge warp....moments like this make me hate vinyl)

Severely underestimated Tenorman!

true

Yet another "unknown" tenor player on the SteepleChase label!

Where's a good place to start with his recordings, Chuck?

I think you are correct. What did Brownie have, something like 40,000?

No way! Have not enough space (and time to listen) for that number.

The Spring sale was in the 8,000 LPs range. Jazz only. Still have several hundreds that I keep to keep the turntable spinning.

Now the turntable is spinning

I generally hate new vinyl. That Full Moon LP has been on my wants list for well over a decade. How's Speed Limit? That's a Jef Seffer thing, right?
