What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[sidewinder]

So, if you've got original monos of "Midnight special", "Back at the Chicken Shack", "All day long" or "Home Cookin'" which you bought in Britain, watch out! It could have had my sticky teenaged fingers all over it!

PS as I recollect, Jazz Journal used to state the price of each record reviewed.

PPS for comparison, my wages when I started work in 1960 were £3.95 a week.

'Ye' for the 'Midnight Special', 'Back at the Chicken Shack' and 'Home Cookin''. I think some of them still have import stickers on.

No sign of teenage sticky uckishness !

Yep, It's actually Jazz Monthly that had the price of the LPs with the reviews. I'll check them out.

Infinity is pretty expensive on the eBay market... I'd like to hear it, too.

The Philly Jazz is wonderful, and I get a real kick out of the Dogtown as well.

I just pulled out my copy of Infinity and it has a different cover than this:

It's on Stash records. I guess my copy is a reprint?

Must be... the original was a private, if I recall correctly.

Unless I'm totally stoned and thinking of something else.

Here's a photo of my copy.

D'oh! moment #2 in the liner notes on the back cover it says that Infinity had previously been released on "Khan's own label, Jam'Brio Records".

As I reached for Infinity I also grabbed "The Traveller" on Steeplechase and gave it a spin. Johnny Dyani and Khan sounded wonderful together. Now I gotta find my copy of Dark Warrior......

Edit: and after listing to all of those BYG's the other day I have to say that it was really nice to listen to some good clean vinyl again. Ahhh....

Yeah, I seemed to have let those Steeplechase sides slip away into the ether of trades/sales. Oh well...

it was originally released on Khan Jamal's own label Con'brio in (I think) 1984. the recordings are from December 82 and March 84 (the track "Infinity" only).

Stash also reissued "Kamal (Abdul Alim) and the Brothers", another great thing.

W. A. Mozart - Complete String Quartets - Philips, Quartetto Italiano, disc 1

Sometimes, a masterpiece is deservedly famous.

MJQ - Patterns - UA mono.

Later issued on a Blue Note CD as "Odds Against Tomorrow," the title of the film for which the music was composed.

Much as I dig vinyl, here's an example of the CD sounding much better than the LP.

nice line-up, appalling sleeve:

overall, it's a nice album, but there are two absolute standouts in "Dance" and "Brotherhood". luv 'n' haight comped "brotherhood' in the mid 90s (they even called the comp "brotherhood").
