Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 Sonny Rollins ‎– Newk's Time / Blue Note ‎– DBLP-013 Series: Blue Note Premium Vinyl Reissue – Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Remastered, Mono Country: Japan Recorded At – Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey Phonographic Copyright (p) – EMI Music Japan Inc Manufactured By – EMI Music Japan Inc Pressed By – Quality Record Pressings Released: 29 Feb 2012 IMHO : the best sounding Blue Note ever on vinyl !! Isn't that LP from the series of LPs that were almost $80 each list price? Yes, it is. Not cheap, but original mono BN albums are very scarce and highly priced. ( Holland ) I buy these albums on Ebay for about $ 40/60 a piece. Does this reissue use the sound "fix" that Kevin Gray & Steve Hoffman originally created for the 45 rpm LP release? Supposedly, the mater tape has "Do not use - dropouts" on the box but they figured out that it wasn't dropouts but Sonny walking around the mic during the recording so they somehow managed to level it out. According to Hoffman, it was a tough tape to master. Since Kevin Gray cut these Japanese mono LPs, did he use the same technique over again or does this have those "dropout" sounds? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 Ted Curson Quartet - Tears for Dolphy [Fontana] to celebrate ordering a copy of 'Urge' Both are very fine LPs. Tears for Dolphy might be one of my all time favorite jazz records. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 Art Hodes - Mostly Blues (Audiophile). There's lots of discussion here about the sonic merits of various pressings, but Ewing Nunn's Audiophile label consistently issued some of the best-sounding records of the time. Audiophile's 1971 album by the Olympia Brass Band is still the best-recorded New Orleans brass band performance on record. But Nunn recorded traditional jazz almost exclusively, and I guess that limits the appeal for a lot of folks. This Hodes album was recorded in Chicago in 1957; it's an enjoyable performance, and sounds great, of course. Quote

Copy duly chased down and it's a great listenGlad you are enjoying it!I am again right now! interesting to hear the first side is more 'inside' than I'd imagined ths combination producing and then you flip and get what i was expecting. That's not to say Side 1 isn't anything but great playing Quote
mjazzg Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 and now....today's other arrivalOrnette Coleman - Love Calljust leaps right out of the speakers from the off. sounding such much fuller than the CD Quote
Leeway Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 It took me a while to find "Love Call" in decent condition and at a decent price, but it was worth the wait. I love the cover too. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 What a great package, along with the second set. I have made a few cdr compilations from the Savoy sets. Quote
