Sounding very nice it is too From a certain on-line outlet points East of London, perchance? Cuban Cora pressing (). Defies all expectations, better sonics than the usual Pablo. A keeper ! Quote

No, a Discogs seller oop North. Now I'm intrigued by the online outlet...can't think of one out East apart from a Hackney shop that doesn't do online but does inflated prices Edited September 19, 2018 by mjazzg Quote
sidewinder Posted September 19, 2018 Report Posted September 19, 2018 Ah sorry - meant West, not East. I was thinking of Soul Brother. Saw a copy in there but must have gone as not listed online. Have a copy of that HMV too - never compared it with the Impulse, will have to do so. Quote

mjazzg Posted September 19, 2018 Report Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) No RVG. Nor on my HMVs of 'Meditations' or 'Ascension'. 'Crescent' due to arrive tomorrow so I'll see whether that bucks the trend Edited September 19, 2018 by mjazzg Quote

When I contacted the seller and complained about the condition of the LPs, he immediately offered to refund two-thirds of the price I'd originally paid. So I decided to keep the album rather than return it. I guess he didn't want to bother with returns process either. Oh well. I'm fine with the mediocre-condition vinyl at the lower price. Quote
JSngry Posted September 19, 2018 Report Posted September 19, 2018 Just do like they used to do in the bad record stores and turn the treble waaaaay down. Quote

When comparing the different digital versions, I think quite a bit was done at the mastering stage to create the released sound. Diverse as they are, they seem to me more alike to each other then to the flat transfer. The same probably goes for the original vinyl, with the sound of subsequent releases taking it as a reference point. I'm glad I bought the disc in 2013, though it wasn't cheap. The Platinum SHM-CD is long OOP, but with a bit of effort can be found in FLAC form on the internet. It's not like you haven't payed for A Love Supreme multiple times already. Quote

Wish my copy was better than VG. I have to go to Spotify for a non-crackly listen Edited September 21, 2018 by mjazzg Quote
sidewinder Posted September 21, 2018 Report Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) The Howard Riley can be very difficult to find in great condition, like many of that Brit Jazz CBS batch. When you do, it isn’t cheap either. The vinyl is superb for catching the subtleties of Alan Jackson’s drumming though. I have the ‘Crescent’ in the UK HMV mono pressing. I think it cost me about £15.

jeffcrom Posted September 22, 2018 Report Posted September 22, 2018 Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top (BN Classic). A wonderful session. I assume that it wasn't released at the time due to technical issues - there seem to be weird things going on with Lee Morgan's microphone. Quote
