This takes me back. II used to have an EP by the Emcee 5. Can't recall the label now but it had the Carrs and Gary Cox. One of the compositions was Northumbrian Air. I guess I must have sold it years ago. A foolish thing in retrospect..

That must be the mythical Alpha-International DB 92 EP - mega rare. Very limited local Newcastle pressing, I don't think many copies ever found their way south of Scotch Corner !

That must be it. It got a terrific review in Jazz Journal at the time. I would have found it at Rays or Dobells.

it's up there for sure, though there are some other high-priced EPs out in the jazz collecting world. I believe that the Francois Tusques/Don Cherry EP, La Maison Fille du Soleil, goes for at least that much if not more. I would expect similarly high prices on some of those Frippe Nordstrom EPs - where he recorded himself blowing over Miles Davis records, for example.

Doc Evans - Traditional Jazz (Audiophile red vinyl, 1957). I've said before here that Ewing Nunn's Audiophile label turned out some of the best-sounding recordings of 1950s and 1960s. But since his primary interest was traditional jazz, his sonic brilliance is somewhat overlooked.

Frank Wright - One for John [Affinity]

Today's arrival. Almost ashamed to admit it's my first FW leader date. Muhammed Ali's all over it, in a great way. Knock out stuff, will not be my last.

next up........also a NY mono.

I've not listened to these two in a while and certainly not since replacing my damaged cartridge earlier this year. These two sound so much better now. My xx2 really digs the music out as well as tracking in the inner grooves well.

Rev. Jasper Williams - I'm Black and I'm Proud (Jewel). This tiny picture is the only one I could find online. The Magnificent Goldberg urged me to pick this one up when we visited Wax 'n' Fax record store in Atlanta, which always has a rack of unusual gospel LPs, a few years ago. This is a sermon recorded in 1968 by a master preacher from Atlanta, and it's an amazing performance.

XX-2. Great cartridge, mine has given great service, probably needs replacing now though. Those two Tony Williams Blue Notes are great too.
