This is a great record--can't get enough Grant Green right now and Philly Joe is at his best...

I think this is a first pressing, just as BN transitioned into the New York USA label. It's New York USA on side A, 47W63 NYC on side B--no deepgroove on either side. Has the RVG and "p" stamp...

I'll have to check my copy but I think it has the same labels. Not sure if there is a DG on one side.

Dam. I wish I had that.

Just got the 1980's Blue Note/Manhattan reissue. Which I don't listen to as much as I should. Bet this vinyl sounds sublime.

if one day this turns up somewhere im gonna flip

Horace Silver - The Jody Grind. A nice original Van Gelder pressing. Since the master is a needle drop, I guess I have a copy of the master tape. :)

First pressing NYUSA Horace Silver's seem to be the most affordable and accessible Blue Note vinyl treasures. Especially on ebay. Well they were as late as last year anyway, when I was still looking.

Jimmy Smith too. Don't give up yet Chewy.

Some of those Hank Mobley 1st pressings look as though someone has taken them into a combat zone - yet they can sound amazingly good. Like an idiot I passed on a 1st press NY USA mono 'No Room For Squares' in this condition for about a fiver several years ago (sleeve was OK though). Next time I went back though it was gone. :(

Still nothin'. My new deck arrived as scheduled but after a look at the contents and the assembly instructions, I realised I was out of my depth. So I called our plumber :D

Seriously, the plumber is a heavy hifi and vinyl fan (rock only) and spends tens of thousands on hifi equipment. You know we're ALL in the wrong business, don't you? He thinks he'll be able to come round at the weekend and help. Well, he IS a plumber.

Plumbers can be surprising people. The fellow who does our plumbing worked security at Levon Helm's Midnight Rambles and traveled with Levon's Band to weekend concerts. He hooked up with Levon when he installed a bathroom in Mr. Helm's barn/recording studio.

Speaking of plumber's...there's some nifty plunger work going on here:

...also on hand to unclog the drain are Hal Singer & Jimmy Forrest. Not even my arch-nemesis of groove Bobby Durham can stop this faucet from running full-on!

Oh yeah, Gatemouth Brown, too!

No idea about the Palm label, other than that in looking for an image of the one I have, I also found these:

Looks like the label on all of these is Palm 30, not just Palm. Not sure if there's a connection or not. The one I have appears to be French, and is bootleg like a mofo. All airshots from 1937-38, and only basic song/personnel listings. No addresses or production credits to be found, even in invisible ink. As far as CD issue...I've not a clue! Found this at a Half-Price books for not very much a few months ago and figured why not, I might have it in some other format, I might not. As it turns out, two cuts were previously(?) issued on the Columbia Super Chief two-fer, but the others were all new to me. Serendipity!
