six string Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Scored an unplayed "Heavyweight Champion" vinyl set for a great price. Listening to "Coltrane's Sound" right now. Well I'm officially jealous! I have it on cd and there are times when I wish I had plumped for the vinyl box instead. I ran across a used set a while back also at a decent price but then I felt guilty about buying it since I already had the music. I do that with single albums sometimes but a box set, not very often. I'm in the middle of planning a trip to Scotland in the fall so overspending in the music dept. is not prudent for me at this time. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 I am reckless with my funds. I somehow manage to just make it all work, as if this were some sort of Roger Zelazny "Amber" that I can shape to my liking. I'm amazed that I haven't fallen flat on my face. But I actually have been showing restraint, remarkable for me but understandable with this big move, but couldn't pass up this one. Like you I'm really grooving to vinyl and I have had an eye on this set and am glad to cross it off the list. Hope you can snag a copy soon! Quote

Prices are excellent. Picked this up for 3.99 in very good condition. I think that session was recorded at the old Chappell Music on New Bond Street, London. Small studio - on the upper floor of a larger music/music instrument store. When I popped in years ago and saw how inocuous it was it left me gob-smacked that the great Monk had actually recorded there. Edited March 22, 2013 by sidewinder Quote

That would have been cool to have been there! The lp sounds really good. Quote

That would have been cool to have been there! The lp sounds really good. Chappells was one of the three shops I used to buy stuff from in 1961/2, when I worked around the corner by Berkeley Square. Today, two not quite live albums, both partly live, partly studio John Coltrane - Live at Birdland - Impulse (Jasmine) Slim & the Supreme Angels - More than alive - Nashboro (no usable image on web) Then Les McCann & Gerald Wilson - McCann/Wilson - Pacific Jazz (Fontana UK with REALLY naff cover art!) Pilgrim Travelers - Shake my mother's hand - Specialty Willis Jackson - West Africa - Muse (one of the least naff covers ever!) MG Quote
