Mulgrew Miller - The Countdown - Landmark- I should have known better than to get an LP which proudly states Digital on the cover. However in this case I'm glad I did part with £2 for this excellent session with Joe Henderson, Tony Williams and Ron Carter. Very nice latter day Joe, Miller is excellent and Tony's not too loud. :blink:

Gil Melle - Tome VI (Verve stereo)

That's a very interesting album.

NP Stan The Man - Stanley Turrentine (Time Records)

I knew about Tommy Turrentine's album on the label but I didn't know Stanley had one too. That is until Friday. All killer no filler.

What does this mean?

As I understand it, it refers to some (all?) of the BN heavy vinyl reissues done in the 1990's that had the name "Wally" etched in the area of the end grooves.

I could be completely wrong about this. I like to listen more than check out what pressings are what.

Earl Humphrey - Andrew Jefferson Four - Have You Ever Been Lonely (504). Earl is not as well-known as his brothers Percy and Willie (he spent years with traveling shows), but he was highly regarded among New Orleans musicians.

'Wally' Traugott - who mastered the Blue Note vinyl in the 90's (from the digital files acccording to info at the Hoffman forums).

Stop And Listen - 'Wally', $25 near mint

Stop And Listen - ' RVG', $500 near mint

it's the monetisation of vinyl :g

Don't I know it...I'm paying $7.99 for LPs at the local Half Price that just a year or two ago would have been $4.99. At some point, a used CD from Amazon will be a better deal.

Pierre Henry - Apocalypse de Jean LP 1 - (Philips 21e Siecle)

Love it. My second favorite recording ever.

Wonder if I'd told my girlfriend that, she would have let me keep it on deck?

Now:

Sonic Arts Union - Electric Sound - (Mainstream)

Lucier's "Vespers" seems to be background-y enough for sensitive ears; as a Kansan, it just reminds me of choruses of spring peepers.

Nobody on the Hoffman forums knows if this was cut from digital files or not.

From what I was told the first or maybe the first & second batches of Connoisseur LPs were *probably* cut from a digital master. However, they switched to all analog somewhere along the way. I was never able to get the breakdown.

I like the sound from these Wally cut LPs.

FWIW, Wally is etched in deadwax going back for years. Wally cuts are the best sounding Bob Seger LPs too.
