Coltrane 'Crescent' (HMV, mono). I have a number of copies of this one but for me, this is the definitive issue.

I've one of these too and it's a dead silent pressing with great sound. I prefer it to the stereo digipak CD version :)

I have Impulse mono and a Japanese stereo versions. Haven't listened comparatively to hear which I prefer, but weren't the mono versions fold downs of the stereo recordings by this time?

Freddie Hubbard "goin up" (blue note, 47 w 63rd mono) a slightly worn copy but plays surprisingly well...these old blue notes are pretty durable! A beautiful date by an all star cast.

i just have the liberty stereo--- so i guess it originally was only put out in mono, then liberty stereo a little later. theres arent any audiophile releases of this one i dont think

Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, Master Musicians of India (Prestige mono). Second side is fantastic.

Getting ready to see sitarist Ustad Nishat Khan live tonight.

Dexter Gordon--------Dexter blows hot and cool------(Authentic/Dootone)

Maroon Dootone LP in Authentic sleeve ( B&W with red/white text) , great music, spotty pressing of uncertain vintage (70s- best guess)

Sun Ra "heliocentric worlds vol.1" (ESP, mono textured paste on cover). One of the first sun ra records I ever bought...around 1991 if memory serves correctly. Holds up as one of my favorite Sun Ra albums...at least in the top 5.

Certainly my first and favourite Sun Ra.

Gunter Hampel and his Galaxie Dream Band, Celebrations (Birth). 2 LP set of the octet version of the band. Nice album and I also like the fact I don't have to colour in the cover on this one.

James Newton/Anthony Davis - Crystal Texts [Moers Music]

the price sticker says "totally obscure late 70s free jazz" however I'm tempted to steal Clunky's "Elegant session" as a more accurate description

Really mixed listening session this evening after a brief interlude of playing 78s back to vinyl.

SME--------So what do you think------(Tangent)

This seems to be the most coherent SME session I've heard. Kenny Wheeler , great but it's probably Derek Bailey who creates added value.

Earlier

Yusef Lateef --------A flat, G flat and C------(Impulse stereo)

So What Do You Think? is really good. Surprised it hasn't been reissued among the Emanems or Konnex titles though I'm not sure who even owns the masters at this point. Most Tangent LPs I've seen have been ethnographic recordings.

Now:

Moby Grape - s/t - (Columbia, 2-eye stereo, finger cover)
