sidewinder Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 A little bit of reverb on these compared with the Mosaic but both well worth picking up at that price. The first Solid State set is worth having for Thad & Mel's sleeve notes and the photos alone. 'Poutpouri', on Philadelphia International is also a real sleeper of an album. This one really grooves ! :rsmile: Quote
JSngry Posted June 8, 2003 Author Report Posted June 8, 2003 I think the reverb's more noticable on the atudio album than the on the Vanguard one. Both are KILLER albums though, and the fact that one of them is still sealed and going for only $9 is kinda hard to believe (if in fact it hasn't already been sold). You know, having grown up in the record (as opposed to CD/tape) era, there's an element of nostalgia in stuff like this, but there's also a bit of "archaeology" as well - this is how these albums were originally released, and having the tactile sensation of seeing the records & their jackets, full size and in their ACTUAL colors (something rarely catured on reissues of any sort, but especially CDs) just adds a bit of historical resonance to my personal perception appreciation of the music. It's the same reason I did seeing 10" LP jackets and hearing decent condition 78s. The current CD format is obviously superior for portability, durability, and sound (SOMETIMES ), but it's still a replica (or a historical repackaging/recontextualization) when it comes to older stuff like this. Something to be said for at least having an awareness of the way things were in their day, I think. Or maybe I'm just a geek... Quote

Something to be said for at least having an awareness of the way things were in their day, I think. Or maybe I'm just a geek... I totally agree. There's something about having the original LP of releases such as this (brilliant as the Mosaic and its sound quality is, CD and LP versions) that adds another dimension to the listening experience. The first Solid State album is a good example. Nice gatefold sleeve with track-by-track notes by Thad & Mel, piccies of the band and Manny Albam, Phil Ramone (interesting !) and Sonny Lester at the recording booth and all those 'period piece' comments about the joys of fully transistorised sound . I've seen at least two versions of the Solid State - a colleague has the mono issue without gatefold. It was one of the happier days of my life when I stumbled across the first two Solid States and 'Potpourri' all in mint vinyl at about £6-7 each. :rsmile: :rsmile: Edited June 8, 2003 by sidewinder Quote
shrugs Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 You could probably get these for half of what DG is asking. They seem to get double to quadruple what my local gets. Quote
