Leeway Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Haven't had much time for spinning vinyl until this afternoon: Blue label, black "b" Blue label, black "b" RCA. A difficult personality (check out the unsmiling portraits on the front and back of the sleeve) but a great singer. Toshiba Japan pressing. Quote

JohnS Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Just played Tubby Hayes; Return Visit (borrowed copy). Didn't keep when it first came out, not sure that my opnion's changed that much in the intervening years. Still it's always interesting to hear a comparitive rarity. Quote

sidewinder Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Horace Silver 'Cape Verdean Blues', the stereo NY USA edition. Great work in particular from Woody Shaw on side 1 in particular and equally fine JJ on side 2. Just love that classic BN cover design too ! Quote

Hope you've taken out insurance on that one, John How's the sound quality, by the way? Quote
Leeway Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Charles McPherson - FREE BOP Xanadu Records, 1978. "OUT FRONT" - A great, great album, with Booker Little, Eric Dolphy, Julian Priester, and Max Roach. Barnaby/Candid Records. I think this is a 1977 re-issue. Leon Thomas - "FULL CIRCLE" - Flying Dutchman Records. Quote
DrJ Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 (edited) Friend of mine brought the new Beatles CD remasters - 1964/5 stuff - and I A/B'd them with my 80's reissue pressing Parlophone LPs. Different animals I know, since the CDs are "Dexterized" versions, but in terms of overall sonic quality - the LPs win, but not by a whole lot. Yeah the CDs have that over the top reverb on some tracks ("She's a Woman" must set some type of record for reverberization) but they still sound kind of nice, very...well, 1964/5 American AM pop radio. The UK LPs are of course much warmer and from an audiophile standpoint much better done. But I'm not plunking for the CDs, regardless, since they flat out got it wrong with their approach (not being particularly nostalgic, I still think they should have been UK versions of LPs with contemporary singles included as bonus tracks, plus/minus the mono versions also included).

Peter Johnson Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 New York, USA pressing--stereo. DAMN this record kicks ass! One of the best sounding original BN's I've got. Quote
Leeway Posted December 13, 2004 Report Posted December 13, 2004 Rockin in the USA: Ginger Baker takes a lot of knocks, some well-deserved no doubt, but I always liked Cream, and Blind Faith, for that army of drummers (or maybe it was Army Drummer) effect that Baker gave And: From America's greatest rock group.
