Herman compilation Expand First Woody album I ever bought - back in 1974 ! On 2/11/2023 at 2:40 PM, Pim said: Oh how I wished for a TP of this one but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. I finally managed to obtain a OG copy for a ‘reasonable’ price. Pity almost all of them have ring wear or cut out or even both. But the vinyl sounds so incredibly great I don’t feel the need for a new reissue anymore. I nevertheless hope for others it will come because this is essential Lee Morgan. That moment Billy Harper kicks in on Capra Black is one of those classic ‘amen’ moments in jazz. This whole record always made me wonder what direction Morgan would head to if he had not been shot. Really the names say it all don’t they: Lee, Billy Harper, Grachan Moncur III, Harold Mabern, Julie Merritt, Reggie Workman and Freddie Waits…. Expand Amazingly, my copy has no cutout and no significant ring wear. I want a refund. Quote

Pim Posted February 12, 2023 Report Posted February 12, 2023 one of his lesser efforts for MPS imo now that’s a TP candidate. This Fontana reissue sounds awful…. Lots of background noise and the piano far in the background. I wonder: is it the recording or the pressing? The vinyl looks very clean but doesn’t sound that way. Quote

Too bad that I didn´t have the money to buy this record, since it was very very expensive, it costed more than the price for 2 usual LPs. Same was with Max Roach in Tokyo, all those were very very expensive. Quote

Expand Yes, it was in the 70´s when we paid in șiling, not in euro, and the usual price for an Lp was 160 ATS, but the Archie Shepp Denon was over 300 ATS and on the small ticket with the price there was handwritten "leider !" which means something like "sorry !".

Pim Posted February 13, 2023 Report Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) You have to be lucky with these Rainbo pressings. This one sounds pretty… Solid!

My Dutch mono of MJQ’s Fontessa also sound pretty bad…. Might be coincidence Edited February 13, 2023 by Pim Quote

Might be coincidence Expand I think this was the first Grant Green album I had heard, but as I remember in the cover text it was mentioned that it was released only after his death. But though I have listened to Grant Green Albums that were published during his life, this one remained the best for me. Great personnell and great tunes. Is it possible it has that strange 50´s tune "Ezz-thetik" on it ? Though "Idle Moments" also has the great Joe Henderson, I think I remember I liked "Solid" much much more. And it has Elvin Jones on drums. Quote

Those old MJQ albums on Atlantic and London can be a bit of a gamble. On 2/13/2023 at 11:11 AM, Pim said: My copy is a Dutch mono from the 60’s.

The vinyl looks very clean but doesn’t sound clear. I’ll keep that in mind buying new records. Quote
