Teasing the Korean Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Who or what corporate monster owns this label now? There are CD reissues from Japan and Australia. Are there reissues elsewhere? How about the vinyl reissues? Are they legit? Is there a good online discography? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Who or what corporate monster owns this label now? There are CD reissues from Japan and Australia. Are there reissues elsewhere? How about the vinyl reissues? Are they legit? Is there a good online discography? Doug Payne has put up a listing of all Sonny Lester produced LPs on the Solid State, Groove Merchant and LRC labels here Shit, I got the link wrong. Here we go again: http://www.dougpayne.com/lrc.htm Hope it works this time. Follow the link at the bottom of the page to DougPayne.com and there's discographies of a number of Groove Merchant musicians. That's the only one I know. LRC CDs aren't included but still seem to be available at cheapo prices; I got one a few weeks ago. There seems little sense to the reissue programme, which covers all 3 labels. Beast Retro, a label you've referred to in another post, reissued some of the albums, but they seem to have gone out of business. There's some real stuff on SS/GM/LRC - and also some real crap. There are also a few Blue Notes and at least one UA album that Lester produced. They're good, to great, too.

Teasing the Korean Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I should have known Doug Payne would have a Groove Merchan discography! I've gone to his website for so much other stuff...Thanks Magnificent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
