Rendell/Carr Quintet 'Dusk Fire' (UK Columbia, mono)

Lovely album! I just have the Japanese pressing on Philips but it's in stereo and not a single crack or pop to be heard so I won't complain too much ;)

Never heard a copy of the the Japanese reissue LP - only the BGO CD, which sounds pretty good to my ears. Fortunately, this copy was bought before prices hit the stratosphere.

The UK London issue. I had this at one time.

Never seen that one before, but I used to have that fine looking Brilliant Corners on London - till I lent it to someone. :tdown

I like the US version because I enjoy seeing contemporary pictures of jazz players, here Monk and Mulligan. They are sort of erased from the UK version (I wonder why, but it is interesting to see how the cover varies, so thanks indeed for posting it).

Along with the question: Who benefited most from this meet-up?, one could have an interesting little contest: "Please provide a caption for this photo (on the US edition)." Clearly something is being discussed; seems like Monk is putting something forth and Mulligan is considering it.

THINK! - Lonnie Smith (organ), Lee Morgan (tp), David Newman (ts), Melvin Sparks (g), Marion Booker Jr (d), Latin percussionists. Blue Note LP reissue. Funky, but coolly hipster too.

Red Rodney - The 3 R's (Muse). This sounds a bit tired which is weird 'cause it's a killer band. Red Rodney in particular sounds pretty weak. Roland Hanna's piano/keyboard sound is rinky-dink and George Duvivier's bass is recorded in that typical late 70's/early 80's twangy style. It might be why it wasn't released right away. The funny thing is, I bought this record mainly because Malcolm Addey was the recording engineer. I guess he got better with time? :)

EDIT: AM I the only one who found it funny that a schoolboard has the band listed with improper capitalization? :)
