paul secor Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Last night: Roland Kirk with Jack McDuff: Kirk's Work (Prestige/OJC) Johnnie Taylor: Raw Blues (Stax) Clifford Brown/Max Roach: Live at the Bee Hive (CBS - Netherlands) - It was both exhilarating and frightening to hear Max Roach play like he was possessed. I'm reminded of Cecil Taylor's comment that the most terrifying thing in this society is to feel. (That's not a direct quote, but I think it's the gist of what he said.) I'm sure that he wasn't referring only to music, but I thought of that statement when I was listening to Max's playing on this record. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Cecil Taylor's a real interesting guy. He's like Monk, in a way. (Not music, they're just really interesting) Many hated Taylor's work, but I think that Rick Kick Shaw track is really cool. Quote

Leeway Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 Capitol ST-2442, with the Apple logo on the record label. This LP sounds good. One of my top Beatles LP. I like verything about it, every cut, even the cover picture. United Artists, foldout Lp with a cool, huge Traffic photo. My copy is Cadet 613. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 I admire everyone's record collection. That Moody cover is classic! I just spinned Chicago 2, the album. Some nice jazz influences. Quote

Wolff, I assume the 10" are originals? ( I know there was a reissue series). What is the sound quality like on them? Quote
wolff Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Posted January 26, 2005 Yes, the pictures are orignals from 'that' site. The covers on my reissues look much, much better! The sound on my Toshiba/EMI reissues is good, maybe not great. Haven't compared them to other issues I may have on CD or LP. I listen to them a lot. I would not if the sound was poor. The packaging is so cool!! I love fondling these things. Standard, HQ Japanese product. Quote
kh1958 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 I actually bought vinyl for the first time in awhile today. I couldn't resist Chico Hamilton's El Chico on impulse, one of those cool gatefold covers. LP looks pristine. Not sure if I overpaid at $15. Quote
brownie Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 Larry Young 'Of Love and Peace' (BN) I have always liked this album. A bit confused overall but so were the times it was recorded in! Larry Young remains my favorite organist! Quote

I couldn't resist Chico Hamilton's El Chico on impulse, one of those cool gatefold covers. LP looks pristine. Not sure if I overpaid at $15. Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I've found that when I buy vinyl from vintage record stores, or online, $15 is moving to the high end, but certainly not as high as you could be paying. When I mention records, many of them rare jazz, which I have snagged for $1, or less, I've found them at yard sales and secondhand stores that mostly have other things and the records are incidental. But, if you don't have the time to scrounge around at non-vinyl specific stores and other sources, $15 is quite reasonable. Quote

Stefan Wood Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 patricia, It's getting harder and harder to find good old jazz for a $1 a piece, even at yard sales. However I live in the DC area, so it is really dog eat dog when it comes to estate sales and such. Everybody has a connection........ which is why I no longer bother with yard sales. S Quote

However I live in the DC area, so it is really dog eat dog when it comes to estate sales and such. Everybody has a connection........ which is why I no longer bother with yard sales. S I understand what you're saying, Stephan. One of the few good things about living in Country and Western heaven, Calgary, is that jazz is still to be found at low prices, at the cost of shoe leather, or gas. The vintage store's prices run from about $5 for a single disc, to around $20 for really old, or particularly rare records, to around $50 for close to mint condition boxed sets, with the exception of the mail-order ones, which l have never seen. I have to assume that they don't accept them. Those are almost always found at secondhand stores like the Salvation Army and at yard sales. That's where the $1 per record, no matter what the record price is found. At yard sales, the entire collection of somebody or other is usually around $50 and the "proprieter" of the yard sale usually doesn't want to sell individual records. The downside is that there is a lot of chaff among the wheat. However, if even 10% of a 500 disc collection is good stuff, the rest can be passed on. The search goes on and I forgot another source, the classifieds. If you want to, you can even post an ad in the "looking for" section, which I've found to be moderately successful, though not usually cheap. People who answer those ads know what they have and you may have to call into play your latent bargaining skillsl. It's kind of like hunting without bloodshed. Quote
