Clunky Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 Sun Ra——-Monorails & Satellites Vol 1-3———-(Cosmic Myth) first impression of today’s arrival is off a nicely put together package. Sound is generally cleaner compared to the rather dull sound of the Evidence CD I have of Vol 1. There is some distortion evident on louder parts of Alter Destiny ( end of side 1) which I don’t hear on the Evidence CD. This may be because NoNoise buried that detail and others on the CD! Pressing quality as with other Cosmic Myth releases is very good- generally very quiet and excellent dynamics. Quote

I don't really know Ra's solo work and I wonder whether it's rather a big intro. edit to add: just found it on Spotify to trial Edited March 1, 2019 by mjazzg Quote

If I gave in to everything winking at me from Honest Jon’s site I wouldn’t be able to get through the door and would be relegated to my garage (in addition to being bankrupt).. Having said that, the LP of ‘Discipline 27 II’ looks tempting. 4 hours ago, porcy62 said: The Man Himself signed my Liberty of that one ! Edited March 1, 2019 by sidewinder Quote

Having said that, the LP of ‘Discipline 27 II’ looks tempting. My problem is I can't stop looking at the site. And, to add insult and injury they've opened a new shop half an hour away so I don't even have to schlep out West if I want the physical retail experience...b@@~~~ds! Quote
sidewinder Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Kings Cross ? - Could be an expensive outing as I guess Gearbox Records is just around the corner as well. If this carries on maybe Mole will resurrect themselves on Grays Inn Road.. We could do with something like that Out West. Never been the same since the great little jazz specialist shop closed in Bath. Having said that, vinyl is on a roll in Bridport and Plymouth ! Edited March 1, 2019 by sidewinder Quote
mjazzg Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 The only saving grace of the new Kings Cross is that it's very small. I'm not too sure that Gearbox is open to the public although I have visited. There's a nice shop in Exeter to break the journey between Bridport and Plymouth. Quote

Never been but will give it a shot next time I’m in the vicinity. Exeter used to have a great jazz LP outlet on Gandy St, the road which JK Rowling modelled that congested cobbled Harry Potter shop street on (reputedly). I kid you not but under the racks of West Coast jazz there was a pristine section of the old Roman Road into Exeter which priveledged punters like me could view on request !

I visit a couple of times a year and there's usually something tempting. Owner's pleasant and helpful too. I know Gandy St. but only without a record emporium, presumably the Roman road remains though Quote
sidewinder Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 Great, I’ll check it out - I know Fore Street. The shop is no longer there, last time I went past it was a fashion emporium. For sure the road will be still in situ but I’ll bet that access for viewings now curtailed. Quote
