Whenever my wife is out of town for a few days, there is always one night when I drag out the boxes of 45s. I love the rituals of riffling through the boxes, picking the records, and even getting up every three minutes to turn the record over. I think the jazz portion of the evening just ended; I played:

Jack Jenney (Columbia). A four-record box by the great swing trombonist/bandleader. This was also released on 10" LP.

Bob Wilber - Petite Fleur/Atlas #1 (Cub). An obscure 1958 release.

Hank Marr - Easy Talk/I Remember New York (Federal). 1963, with Rusty Bryant. I wish The Magnificent Goldberg was here to enjoy this one, as well as the next few.

Bunky Green - Sweet Inspiration/By the Time I Get to Phoenix (Met). A very obscure Paul Serrano production, not listed in any discography that I've seen.

Leo Parker - Low Brown/Parker's Pals (Blue Note)

Freddie Roach - I Know/Googa Mooga (Blue Note)

On to blues and R & B!

Robert Curtis Smith - I Believe We Love Each Other/Don't Drive Me Away (Arhoolie)

Eddie Clearwater - Lonely Nights/True Love (Cleartone)

Elmore James - Dust My Broom/Everyday I Have the Blues (Enjoy)

Jessie Mae Hemphill - Jessie's Boogie/Standing In the Doorway Crying (High Water)

The Hollywood All Stars - Long Way From Home/Mary Joe (High Water)

Junior Kimbrough - Keep Your Hand Off Her/I Feel Good, Little Girl (High Water)

R. L. Burnside - Bad Luck City/Jumper Hangin Out On the Line (High Water)

Ranie Burnette - Coal Black Mattie/Hungry Spell (High Water)

:D I also have the Hank Marr and Freddie Roach 45s. And the LPs they come off, too. And the Leo Parker album your single comes off (no doubt you do, too). Did you know that 'Googa mooga' is a rip off? It was actually written by Lou Bennett and recorded by him on the Dawn label (only a 45) in - oh, just looking for it to find out when, I see I've forgotten to transfer a number of old 45s to my new computer - anyway, it was about '56 or '57, I think. Freddie put himself down as the composer.

The Bunky Green material looks interesting. Not the usual sort of thing he did.

Jefferson Airplane, After Bathing at Baxter's.

First vinyl played in my living room in a long time:

Sounds really good. Cheap Sony turntable right now (Rega RP3 on the way) into a PS Audio GCPH, then tube preamp, tube amp.

Lon, say it isn't so! If you're looking at vinyl again, digital must be dying. :lol: :lol: :lol:

He's just run out of things to buy.

I know you like to pick on me, but that's just not true, I'm still buying plenty of cds.

That is somewhat my reason for getting back into vinyl. I found that I hadn't bought any CDs for months and one day I was in Stereo Jacks and saw some Van Gelder Blue Note vinyl in the LP bin so I figured I'd give it a try.

Yes, it is fun. However, all the reasons I left vinyl in the old days are still there. The mint LPs that play like shit. The crappy sound on some pressings (unrelated to the vinyl itself). The scratched "new" records. The having to get up every 20 minutes to flip the record. Having to figure out which pressing is the best (and then finding a clean copy). I am having fun, but this feeling may not last forever. :lol:

Little of that stuff bothered me before, and so far isn't bothering me now. . . :)

That's a fine, fine record.

Well, it's psychedelic and slightly silly. I like it but I've liked it since it was a new record. . . .It's more like Crown than Pillow. (I like them in recorded order actually, Pillow then this one and then Crown, though all their albums hae some great qualities in my opinion.

My Rega RP3 with the Elys2 cartridge and the TT PSU power supply arrived and is set up. And . . . wow. Just wow.

I made a good choice. Great sound in conjunction with the PS Audio GCPH.

Right now

Baxter's is my favorite; I think it's the most stretched-out of their early albums. I also like Volunteers a lot.

That's a good session.

Now

Pretty clean vinyl copy. But I think the cd sounds a bit better. Surprised me.

This is one where I'm glad there's two sides, because listening to Side One only of the LP is just right for me. The CD as a whole tends to bog down later on, imo, so I just skip Side Two.

It's the only one of Ree's early albums I decided not to bother with. I played it plenty when I was in a record shop in '69 and it never got to me.
