Stan Kenton/Johnny Richards - Cuban Fire - Capitol (turquoise mono)

Sound on the original vinyl is dramatically more present than that on the CD reissue.

It's always a good day when I find one of those Capitol LPs in good shape.

Don't think I'd listened to it in ten years before today. Not because the music's not worthy - I just kept overlooking it.

Yeah, every turquoise copy of this I've ever found has been beat to hell. This is a pretty clean copy, gorgeous cover, with some very light noise in the quieter passages. As is, it sounds a hell of a lot better than the mint re-processed stereo reissue from the 1980s, which sounds like it was mastered from an 8 track that had left on the dashboard all summer. This one jumps right out of the speakers.

Same here - tend to go for Fred & Annie Mae first.

Want.

Andrew Hill's Smokestack (Bluenonte) NY Stereo pressing. It's not my favorite of his early BN albums but I still play it from time to time.

[clifford_thornton]

A friend of mine, in an obvious nod to Nels Cline, has arranged the title track for his instrumental punk rock/skronk trio. Pretty fun, though the key modulations are even more out than Hill's!

Bobby Hutcherson - San Francisco - stereo Liberty pressing.

BTW I love it.
