What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Gordon Beck 'Gyroscope' (Morgan, stereo)

Gordon Beck 'Gyroscope' (Morgan, stereo)

I like this one, have the CD issue which sounds more than adequate.

NY, stereo.

Edit: I am still surprised at any listenings how great was the silver's writing.

UK mono pressing

[Homefromtheforest]

Miles Davis "kind of blue" (Columbia USA 6-eye stereo)

I also have a 6-eye mono, a Canadian 6-eye stereo, a Japanese Sony issue, the anniversary box set, the Columbia legacy CD, and the SACD of this title. A bit crazy but it's not that bad of an album

But do you have the UK or French Fontanas, the Dutch Philips or the UK orange label?

Haha...

Are these records (and similar fare) fairly common in the UK? I know we practically never see them here in the US, with possible exception of "SOS."

On of my favourite records. And I still only own it on vinyl (though it has been CD-r-ised...and mp3'd)!!!!!!!

Yes, I have that one on CD too, and it is a good one. It seems to have got some circulation here on vinyl, but the other ones that MJAZZG posted - just don't see them. Just wondering if this is fairly common fare in UK.

They were all reissued on CD in the last few years by Dutton.

Sorry - you're talking LPs aren't you, rather than availability of the recordings!

Don't miss this little beauty either:

Two CDs of live/radio music.

I've not stumbled across SOS or the Skidmore in 10 yrs of vinyl collecting. Other Ogun vinyls have set me back around £15-20 and crop up occasionally. I'd imagine that a Deram such as the Skidmore would be altogether pricier and very uncommon ( at least in Scotland!)

OK, thanks. Apparently home ground offers no advantages-- unless MJAZZG has a different take on it. I suspect many go to EBAY and end up far from home.

Now for something a bit different:

L'ATLAS DES GALAXIES ETRANGES - Live at The Shot Gun Gallery in Strasbourg, France1993. Non Mi Place Records

Borbetomagus - Jim Sauter (sax), Don Dietrich (sax), Donald Miller (electric guitar).

Borbetomagus phenomenon: First 30 seconds all-out aural assault. One is knocked for loop. Neighbors may already be banging on door, ceiling, floor. Next ten minutes, feel like caught in machine works. Neighbors definitely banging away. 10+ minutes in, starting to make sense. Ideas and motifs rise and fall, like creatures in Sargasso Sea. 15+ minutes- an addictive sensation takes over, you need this sound (no longer noise) YMMV.

I agrees with other comments that the SOS is more available than the Skidmores. The Ebay prices for the Skidmores are crazy (hundreds £ in some cases) and I never thought I'd own the LPs but got lucky with ex-library copies (two of the Once Upon a Time) in nice enough condition

Two ex-library copies of 'Once Upon A Time'. There's only one word for that. OBSCENE !

Obscenely lucky, I grant you

Tonight, I've been mounting IKEA bookshelves whilst listening to 'Swedish Modern Jazz' by Arne Domnerus (RCA Camden). How Swedish can you be?

UK mono pressing

I got that as a London pressing, too! Should dig it out (have had my vinyls stored away for some time and managed to bring home the last boxes - letters A to F - last Sunday).
