What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[clifford_thornton]

Never seen that cover. Very cool.

Yeah, that's the first issue. I have a later pressing from the AEC years. But whatever - either way, great record.

Cisco reissue. Haven't spun this one in a while. Such a good album that I should really spin more often. And this Cisco reissue sounds great, despite the drums sounding somewhat "boxy", or...something. Really hate that Cisco aren't around anymore. They did good work.

Lee Morgan/Hank Mobley - A-1: The Savoy Sessions (Savoy). Didn't realize until I got this one home that it's just Introducing Lee Morgan with a first-issue bonus track. That's okay - I'm glad to have the extra track.

And the Cecil Taylor 1957 Newport set from:

Masters of the Modern Piano (Verve).

Teddy Edwards 'It's All Right' (Prestige, stereo, trident blue label)

Agreed , this and Hancock's BN debut Takin' Off sound great in their Cisco editions

Guess it didn't take you long to get your hi-fi equipment set up and the LPs unpacked. Then again, some things are priorities.

[clifford_thornton]

Yep. I was waiting on a new cartridge for about two weeks, too.

[clifford_thornton]

The Storyville CD release sounds very good, from the same source discs and mastering was also by Jack Towers.

[clifford_thornton]

Frank Lowe - Doctor Too-Much - (Kharma)

[colinmce]

Now:

Steve Lacy - Esthilacos - (Guilda da Musica)

The Johnson Mountain Boys: Working Close (Rounder)

[clifford_thornton]

Now:

Steve Lacy - Esthilacos - (Guilda da Musica)

Damn! Last eBay copy went for around $350.

Really?!? I got mine years ago for around $50, which I thought was reasonable for something you never see. Pressing's not stellar, but it's an excellent date.
