clifford_thornton Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Definitely a keeper. Perry is so great. Quote
Leeway Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Frank Lowe - Out Loud - (Triple Point Records) Holy smokes. Sounds like you're in the damn studio. Worth a $100 for the double LP? (That's the price I saw). How is the performance? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 I mean, I would have pulled the trigger if I didn't get a reviewer's copy. It's not going to be sold out anytime soon. The performance is staggering, definitely a little "rough" but so, so blistering and inventive. I've always liked Lowe's playing but never been laid out on the floor by his music. That has changed after hearing this set. Just mind-melting. I was just saying "fuck!" the whole time it was on the stereo. Quote

I guess it is priced like their Cecil double LP. That's a high $$ threshold for me to go to, but it sounds like this could be worth it. Quote

JSngry Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 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. Is that the Rev. J.W. Williams Jr that did Clear Shining After Rain? Quote

This is a sermon recorded in 1968 by a master preacher from Atlanta, and it's an amazing performance. If you pick up a copy of his Paula CD, 'I fell in love with a prostitute', which isn't too hard to get, I think, you'll be even MORE amazed. I think it was previously issued on a Jewel K7; NOT on LP; it's too long - 56 mins. MG Quote

I think 'Clear shining' was his first recorded sermon. I don't think it's as good as 'Black & proud' but it's still top drawer stuff. But the message is the same as above; find 'I fell in love with a prostitute' for the ACME in the black art of oration. Oh, looks like it was an LP Can't find a forum-friendly version of the Jewel CD, but it's out on an Atlanta International CD, viz: MG PS, you can get it from Amazon.com for $5-87 http://www.amazon.com/I-Fell-Love-With-Prostitute/dp/B0024F144K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410002426&sr=8-1&keywords=rev+jasper+williams+i+fell+in+love+with+a+prostitute Quote
Clunky Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Chris Connor-------- A jazz date with Chris Conmor---------(London) sadly only in VG condition One of Connor's best with a great band. I need Mosaic to come good with a box set of her Atlantic output. Quote

I need Mosaic to come good with a box set of her Atlantic output. Not a bad idea, but I think there's some stuff in amongst the real goodies which is only so-so - 'He loves me, he loves me not' has pretty boring arrangements by Ralph Burns, as I recall. I didn't get on with her first for Atlantic, either, but didn't play it enough to know why. The Gershwin twofer is a curate's egg, again going from memories of listening in the sixties. I never heard 'I miss you so', but I never felt that would be a goodie, so didn't get it. The rest is various shades of wonderful! I flogged all my Chris Connor albums at the end of the sixties, but have been forced to buy most of them again on CD. They don't get stale. MG Quote

Clunky Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 £5 each in Fopp ! Anyone heard any of the Connors in this series? A few on this series have struck me as quite harsh , others are excellent though Quote
colinmce Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Arrangements aside, Chris Connor's voice is what matters. If they can put out that Buddy Hackett, this wouldn't be a stretch. I wish they would... Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 6, 2014 Report Posted September 6, 2014 Well, if they're all out in Japan and only five quid over here, who's gonna shell out $150 or thereabouts for a box? MG Quote
