Island did put out the very occasional jazz LP. Harold McNair ‘Affectionate Fink’ comes to mind, a very rare LP.

and Karyobin, which I'm still after in its original form all these years later...

[mjazzg]

Both the McNair and Karyobin would have the pink Island labels not the palm tree I'm guessing.

[clifford_thornton]

I think the McNair has white labels.

[sidewinder]

The ‘palm tree’ logo came in during the mid 1970s. Early seventies was pink label.

Ali Toure, Farka (Sonoafric)

Stan Getz with Guest Laurindo Almeida (Verve)

every copy I’ve ever seen (not many) has had a beat-up sleeve. Flimsy design.

The only copy I've ever seen looked in very good condition and was tucked under Evan Parker's arm. Whilst he played the gig he left it lying unattended on the Vortex piano. I spent some time wondering if I could cause a sufficient distraction...

First spin of this new-to-me LP:

Zoot always sounds good.

More early-70s soul jazz:

This is something special. I only discovered it recently, but it's already one of my favorite jazz records with vocals. 

I think this set is even better than Carmen's more well-known Great American Songbook on Atlantic.

Oh no, didn't enjoy that at all, album aborted after side 1. 

Horrible recording. Wilkerson sounds a bit "paper and comb", and Nat Adderley is shrill.

 

Each his own, I guess. My stereo orig. of this one sounds OK. Admittedly, it did benefit from a spin on the RCM.

Gave it another spin - it is true that Wilkerson sounds a bit ‘comb and paper’. Nowhere near as well recorded as his Blue Notes.
