Funny you should say that as when I listened I noticed Sharrock at some point and thought "Oh yes, he's on this". I didn't enjoy it as much as either 'Karma' or 'Thembi' but that may not have been about the sound. I'll have another listen over the next few days. 27 minutes ago, Rabshakeh said: Love this record.

Can I recommend trying it streamed or on CD (whichever is available, but not YouTube)? I think that the CD mix is far better. Sharrock is very noticeable but he's really turned down on any vinyl version I've heard. Edited September 29, 2022 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Now spinning - One of the few LPs that is being reissued by Blue Note that I never bought before (CD or LP) - Ruben Wilson's "Love Bug". Typical funk record of the time. Not a bad thing, but it is what I expected it to be and is the reason I never bought it before. I find these dates to have a bit of sameness to them.

Bill Nelson Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Similar reaction here. Found a $3 copy at an antique market booth and expected so much more given the supporting cast. The music is standard organ fare you'd expect on early 70's Prestige.  (Flipped it for $35 at the next record show.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Johnny Lytle "Fast Hands" (Muse). I bought this during a recent sale of new old stock LPs at Tommy's Jazz. You take chance with sealed old records and this is one where I get duffed a bit. A bit of the label fell off and the vinyl is pretty noisy in spots. The music is pretty good but they miss on a few tracks ("Tomorrow"? "Bein' Green"? Really?) and I'm not a huge fan of the sound, particularly the bass. The more I look at this vinyl, I'm thinking this is an old re-seal. I say old because the cellophane was brittle but re-seal because this record just doesn't look un-played.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Sonny Clark - Dial "S" For Sonny (Blue Note). New release in the Classic Vinyl series. I wasn't planning to pick this up, but I got it for around $12 so I thought, "Why not?" The cover of this LP looks terrible. It's all washed out and looks more like something a bootlegger would put out.

'Millions...' was the first album I remember hearing so has a special place. I saw them as many times as I could when they visited London, double header with Stereolab a highlight, last time was the 'Beacons Of Ancestorship' tour I suspect. Always excellent, as you say. Only seen The Sea&Cake once but that was great  Edited September 30, 2022 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say it's pretty similar to this album, which also features Leo/Idris & Lee Morgan in the same horns/organ/guitar/drums format with hits of the day. But it's no more samey to me than any number of hard bop dates with standards and tunes borrowed from bird 'n Diz. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, in either case. And while I own and enjoy both albums, I think they both did better (and worse) elsewhere.
