Rev Milton Brunson & the Thompson Community Singers - It's gonna rain - Myrrh UK

I was talking about this album yesterday on the Blues Forum and dug it out. Noticed (for the first time since 1982!) the title track is heavily influenced by the type of arranging that Fred Wesley used to do for George Clinton. Not a rip-off, but definitely coming from the same place. Jessy Dixon did the arrangements.

Cal Tjader - Vibist

Savoy 45 rpm EP XP-8117

with Richard Wyands, Al McKibbon, and Roy Haynes

The cover is mint, the record is not, but when played wet most surface noise disappears.

This EP sounds a lot more dynamic than the later Savoy LP reissues from the 1980's ...

"When played wet"? How can you play a wet record?

Lenco developped a system to moisten the grooves with a mixture of alcohol water while playing, to dissolve dirt in the grooves. It also works as a lubricant, slightly reducing friction between the stylus and the grooves. It works wonders on some used records, if they're only dirty, not worn.

Has much the same effect as record cleaning machines using solvents. But you have to keep using it on the records once it was applied. Here's a pic:

Oh, THAT'S what those things are for! I always wondered (idly). Thanks.

Easing into the day with Blue Mist - Sam [the man] Taylor, his orchestra and chorus - one of the nicest tenor-sax records of the period, - on the MGM label - cleverly "electronically re-recorded to simulate stereo."

This album has a very nice interpretation of one of my favourites, "Harlem Nocturne" on it.

The cover notes are in two columns, one side in English and the opposite side in French. That's mandated here now, but it was unusual years ago.

Damn good job they haven't decreed sleeve notes in Welsh and English here!
