£2.99 at special price over here mid-70s, then £3.50, £3.99... as the oil crisis took hold. Still a good deal.

Forgot to mention the Atlantic ‘The Atlantic Years,,,’ and the Impulse twofers too. All great !

As far I remember the Atlantic and the Impulse never hitted the italian market.

Sounds right - ‘The Atlantic Years’ twofers were W. German imports here and very good pressings too. The ‘Re-Evaluations’ Impulse series put out by M Cuscuna were cheapo green label US imports, usually with cutout, which often sounded implausibly excellent. I hung on to those too..

I suspect that many of those Impulses came over here as cutout ballast in US cargo ships.

Those germans!

When originals are too expensive I go for japanese or german pressings.

Dixieland Way Down Yonder in New Orleans (GHB). One of my favorite New Orleans trad albums of the 1950s, found at the late, lamented Magic Bus record store on Conti Street in the Quarter. One side is trombonist Jack Delaney's band, with young Pete Fountain on clarinet; the band on the flip features Lee Collins, recorded during what I believe was his last trip back to his hometown in 1953.

This was originally issued on Southland as a 10" LP; when Jazzology bought Southland, they reissued a bunch of 10" LPs as 12-inchers, without any additional tracks. So there are only twelve minutes of music on each side. No matter - I still love this one.

Music Matters has a 33 rpm version too: https://www.musicmattersjazz.com/Andrew-Hill-Point-of-Departure-Blue-Note-33-rpm-p/33bst-4167.htm

It sounds very good to my ears and it's cheaper than the 45 rpm version, even on the used market.

I wish they reissued as 33rpm, though 45rpm is better sounding I am definitely a conservative about records.

bought a mono copy for fairly cheap years ago; little groove wear on the end of side two (last cut) but most of the record is unharmed. Fine date though I guess my fascination with Hill heads in other directions.

[Referentzhunter]

Mono, nice.

Ok, i am not that far in my knowledge concerning his releases. This would be my first record of him.

Imagine, Dave Liebman was one of the first musicians I heard in the 70. Since then he fascinates me. This record has a special meaning for me. Dave signed it for me. Wonderful tunes Goli Dance, Loft Dance, and a really fantastic version of Coltrane´s "Your Lady". .......

And topnotch musicians, almost an allstar band of the 70´s
