Three new HMV acquisitions:

John Coltrane 'A Love Supreme' (HMV, mono)

I've had that HMV album (CSD 1605) since 1971. You're just catching up with me, Sidewinder! :D (Must give it a spin)

This one is CLP 1869, Bill. An original from 1965, I think - with the Garrard and Lofthouse sleeve. Sounds very good indeed in the mono, nice balanced sound. Will be comparing it with the US first press on Impulse that I also have (stereo). I also have a UK ABC/Impulse 70s reissue but that doesn't come up to the sonics of the HMV, good though it is.

Spiritual Starlites - Long Black Limousine (ASL); One of my favorite gospel LPs, by an Atlanta group who put out this one album (and a single) back in the late 1980's.

Again - this is one of my favorite obscure local gospel albums, on the Atlanta Soul Liberation label. Couldn't find a picture anywhere on the web.

Spun this one for the first time for a long time. Reaction: a masterpiece album, one of the greatest in the music. By this late stage the group were majestic - how far they'd come on since the Atlantic "My Favorite Things" session!

Mine plays normally -- no pressing hiss or lite crackles. Spaces between tracks are silent.

There's a 2-inch high 'D.J.' stamped in blue on the back cover. The vinyl was pressed at Sterling.

If I'd sent away for my Steve Hoffman decoder ring, I'd know what the initials on the trail-out grooves signify.

Given the brief run of Ampex Records from 1970-71 and its takeover by Albert Grossman and Bearsville*, the control of Ampex master tapes and warehouse product became shakey.

*esp. Todd Rundgren's 'Runt' which got widely counterfeited
