sidewinder Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) More from the box (mono securely ‘off’ ). Spent a fair part of the afternoon putting this set under the VPI - to good effect. Edited February 23, 2019 by sidewinder Quote

Doesn’t bug me too much - probably because I am so used to hearing stereo Atlantic and immune to it. Having said that, by far the best ‘Giant Steps’ I have heard is the mono UK first release on the London label. Edited February 23, 2019 by sidewinder Quote
HutchFan Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 David Friedman & David Samuels - Double Image (Enja) Excellent music. ... Top-shelf sound quality too -- like many Enja LPs from the late-70s and early-80s. Quote

I have that one too. Great date. One of our U.K. members (mjazzg perhaps?) also has a copy. With c-t's, probably the only four copies to be found on the Organissimo forums.

porcy62 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Yeah, some BN are like wines, if you bought a case of Chateau Lafite Rotschild before the first WW you were lucky, like the caterer that traded Van Gogh paintings for lunches. Anyway it's part of the fun Quote

I'm holding out as perhaps the only European copy A copy arrived at the Chicago Tribune when I was there; I put it on because I knew of Francis from Ellis' "New Ideas," loved it, and wrote an enthusiastic review. Afterwards I got in touch with Francis by phone, and we had a very pleasant conversation. Quote
paul secor Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Not to turn this into a hijacked Al Francis thread, but a bassist friend of mine played with him in Boston some years ago. According to my friend, that night he was playing drums, not vibes. Quote
