Profiles was also issued as half of a 70s twofer LP with Gil Evans' Out of the Cool, as part of the impulse! Dedication Series.  This is a potentially cheaper option if originals are scarce.

Thanks again

Now spinning:

Walter Norris - Stepping on Cracks (Progressive, rec. 1978)
with George Mraz (b) & Ronnie Bedford (d)

5 stars -- in spite that bland, bordering-on-cringey cover. 

 

Compare the cover design above with the same LP for the Japanese market, retitled A Child is Born.  It features evocative cover art and an interesting photo of Norris on the flip side:

Unlike the U.S. release, this Japanese version doesn't communicate utter indifference to presentation.  IMO.

Primary

The Brass Company - Colors [Strata East, USA 1975]

This always surprises me how good it is, maybe I don't listen to it often enough. Writing, arranging and playing of top order, I'd say.

 

Agreed, just on the turntable, the cover still has the price sticker - 26 DM 😂! What a line-up ...

Running through my late Dad’s collection. As kids, i remember we all loved this when it was played as it was so wild (compared to Chicory Tip or Slade).  ‘You must read the back of the album’ , great. How was this received when it was originally issued, I wonder.

Walter Norris & Aladar Pege - Synchronicity (Enja, 1979)

Last year, when I was in Barcelona's Park Güell (designed by Antoni Gaudi), I realized that this album's cover image was taken there.  :)

IIRC, I've read that the album was not well-received by critics.  

Proof that you can't trust 'em.  ;)  :P

I've only recently got a copy of that, I still don't know why I hadn't been aware of it for so long.

Now Slade, there's a band ...

Next in the pile. My Dad’s is a Vogue mono issue, price of 12/6. Sounds pretty good too. I have an original Contemporary (because I loved what I had heard). Great sleeve too. Always intrigued by Teddy Edward’s shirt on the reverse, v cool.

Reviews were good. But no real radio play that I could tell. And I don't know how much as support Atlantic gave it.

A great record, but nothing crossover neither the music or the attitude. But that's ok, they kept him on the roster and let do that other stuff at his own pace.

Isn't this also used for a Joe Henderson record?

An early appearance by Sonelius Smith, who was on all those Strata-East records.

Did he play these a lot when you grew up? As in, were you already familiar with this great music as a kid?
