I'd rather deal with Max's heirs than some giant multi-national corporation. ... Then again, I know NOTHING about the business side of things. Yeah, you'd think. But estates can be funny sometimes. And somebody has to want to license it to begin with. I don't know how many "friends in the record business" that Max left behind, other than Bruce Lundvall? And I'm not 100% sure about the ownership thing. 98%, probably, but that's not 100% Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 A friend who is a real estate agent in Atlanta called me this afternoon; he had just listed a house. It was empty except for some stuff in the basement that the family was going to take to Goodwill. Among the "junk" was two boxes of records. My friend noticed a good bit of jazz, along with R & B and blues - would I like to take a look before they went out for donation? Well, yes. I came home with about thirty records, although because of the widely varying condition I probably won't keep them all. The first three: Cecil Taylor - Stereo Drive (United Artists stereo). About VG: quite listenable, but with consistent low-level hiss. Ronnie Scott/Tubby Hayes - The Couriers of Jazz! (Carlton mono). Solid VG+, and excellent music I had never heard. Lightnin' Hopkins - Lightinin' Strikes (Verve Folkways stereo). Strong VG, almost VG+. A nice 1965 date recorded in LA, with Jimmy Bond on bass and the great Earl Palmer on drums. Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 The next round of my real estate freebies: Cannonball Adderley - Why Am I Treated So Bad (Capitol mono). I chose this next because it appears to be in the best condition of all the records I picked up today - VG+ approaching NM. But I dislike the distant recording quality, and Cannonball in this period has always been somewhat disappointing to me, considering what an interesting band he had. Aretha Franklin - Soul '69 (Atlantic stereo). VG+, and the music is excellent - no surprise there. I wasn't familiar with the album before now - it's more jazz/blues oriented than most of Aretha's Atlantic output. Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Last "basement album" of the night - Pat Martino - El Hombre (Prestige stereo) Edit: Since I've been posting the conditions of the records, this one is around VG: nice listening, but with surface noise.

sidewinder Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 NY USA mono. Perfectly playable copy which cost me the grand sum of £2 back in the sensible era. Quote

The laminated sleeve is in pretty good condition for its age. Sonics remain excellent, apart from side 2 track 1 ‘Brazil’ staying stuck in groove unfortunately. Other than that - amazingly good considering that the vinyl looks as if it had a past life as a frisbee. Quote

Not so very long ago I bought a very early deep groove pressing of Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin' Else" for the huge investment of 1 EUR from a used record dealer - probably because the party (and maybe frisbee?) past of the vinyl was evident, including something that looks like candle wax and won't shift - though the vinyl does play through and surface noise isn't even overwhelming. And apart from one smudged area even the cover is fairly acceptable. But imagining what the vinyl must have gone through made me cringe inside too. Edited January 21, 2019 by Big Beat Steve Quote
sidewinder Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) 47W63rd DG mono. No frisbee this time, glad to say. Pristine copy. Edited January 21, 2019 by sidewinder Quote
kh1958 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Bud Freeman, Something Tender (United Artists). This was a very happy find at my visit to the Jazz Record Center in NYC a week ago. Bud Freeman playing with two guitarists, George Barnes and Carl Kress. There is no rhythm section. An unusual and beautiful record. Quote
