What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Steve Lacy - Clinkers (Hat Hut). Bought, with great excitement, at the time (1978). There are later Lacy solo albums I now prefer, but this holds up very well. Inside the cover is the one-page Hat catalog of the time, with releases A through J - I guess they didn't forsee more than 26 albums.

Jeff, do you remember how much it cost? I'd be curious.

Colin, I don't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday!

Seriously, I don't think it was that expensive - maybe a dollar or two more than the standard record at the time. There's a New York address on the back, along with the Swiss address, so they had a U.S. distributor. I'm not even sure where I got it; I must have either special-ordered it from a record store in Athens, Georgia (where I was living at the time) or ordered it from the Saxophone Sheet - the little magazine which later became the Saxophone Journal. They sold some pretty interesting avant-garde saxophone records back then.

The First Great Rock Festivals of the Seventies: Isle of Wight/Atlanta Pop Festival (Columbia). Spinning the third of this three-record set, featuring Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis at the 1970 Isle of Wight fest. All the Hendrix material from the Isle of Wight has now been released, but it's interesting to hear the three tunes that were chosen to be released first, six months or so after the event. Miles' complete set has also been released in audio and video form in recent years, but the edited 17-minute "Call it Anythin'" is what I grew up with (on 8-track tape!), and I wanted to hear it in that version tonight.
