JohnS Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Long Green is good - worth having imo. I'd pass on the Dave Pell, not that exciting. But the Frank Morgan yes, another nice set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereojack Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 ALSO FROUND FEW DAYS AGO: a MINT condition cover (+ ok condition lp) of LONESOME ECHO with art by SALVOADOR DALI! has anyone ever seen or owned this lp? i would like to know if its mono or stereo it doesn't say- IF the catalog # begins w/ a letter "W" is it mono or stereo? W is mono. The stereo equivalent would be WS. Also, early stereo records usually have the word "Stereo" emblazoned in very large letters on the cover. I don't believe "Lonesome Echo" exists in stereo. It's too early. Classic cover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 ALSO FROUND FEW DAYS AGO: a MINT condition cover (+ ok condition lp) of LONESOME ECHO with art by SALVOADOR DALI! has anyone ever seen or owned this lp? i would like to know if its mono or stereo it doesn't say- W is mono. The stereo copies are rechanneled, and most have an ugly "duophonic" sticker slapped across the cover image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Long Green is good - worth having imo. Yes it is! Yes, I have had "Byrd's Word" in fairly heavy rotation lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yeah, I do that ALL the time. Or used to, when I saw good and semi-rare jazz LPs in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) ps-anyone ever heard jackies "riff jazz" lp w/. charlie ventura? i want this one- dont have it yet I have it and am not overly impressed. As with other Gleason Capitol albums of that period, it is fairly conventional. If I can find it quickly I will post a period review here for your amusement (I think it was a 1 or 2-star rating ) Maybe these recordings were a nice change from TV work for those studio hacks who participated in the Gleason sessions but by 50s big band jazz standards there are better items around. Re- Dave Pell: His LP's on the Kapp label are quite enjoyable. If I remember correctly he did a Rodgers & Hart LP for Kapp too so the one you saw might be similar.
