sidewinder Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 I found my 'Latin Bit' in a UK bin - mono, first presss, £2 A few bumps and scrapes but it sounds pretty damn good. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 30, 2010 Report Posted January 30, 2010 mine is stereo and the stereo seperation if i remember what my mcmaster cd sounds like, is far greater on vinyl..... Quote
thedwork Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 just sarting to get back into vinyl after about... oh... 20 years away i found this in what seems to me to be very good condition at a cool vinyl store in my neighborhood for $6: pretty excited for the music, but also wondering if this is maybe a "great find" by the standards of collectors here on the board. i have no idea. i just figured it was a real good find for me personally/musically. also wondering if anyone has a quick suggestion for an inexpensive turntable w/ a built-in preamp? maybe there's another thread i should go to for that? cheers...

TT with a built-in preamp, I would go to the Audio forum. I don't know the answer. Six bones is about right for that Bley. Nice date. Happy hunting! Quote

Happy hunting! thanks clifford. looks like i'm gonna just go for it and buy what a work buddy recommended for my needs: an audio-technica. it's got the built-in preamp, but t also has a usb out so i wll be able to burn vinyl onto discs in my stand alone tascam cd burner for back-up or if wanna give something to my friends. and it's not too expensive. we'll see...

king ubu Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 scored a clean-looking copy of "Ornette at 12" yesterday - for around 20$ or 12-13€ or whatever - of course it has a drill hole through the cover... found "Crisis" in the same price range a couple of years ago... very cool to have them both now!

tjluke68 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 All of the below for a $1 each and in MINT condition (even the multiple and boxset) from an estate sale. Not the best stuff, but I like it so... 1937-1941 COMPLETE LIONEL HAMPTON 1970s RCA 6 LP BOXSET BENNY GOODMAN - CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT (2LP COLUMBIA 6-EYE - probably 2nd pressing) PEE WEE RUSSELL PLAYS PEE WEE (BELL RECORDS) CHARLIE BARNET - TOWN HALL JAZZ CONCERT (COLUMBIA 2ND PRESSING/6-EYE) SINATRA-BASIE (with gatefold cover - never saw that before) AHMAD JAMAL - TRANQUILITY (ABC) Again nothing great, but I like it.

TL I disagree that this is "nothing great." The Hampton set is primo - the best tracks rank with the best jazz of the period. And I think the Pee Wee is really good later Russell.

tjluke68 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 I didn't mean nothing great in terms of the music, but it seems every estate sale has the dealers pushing you out of the way, looking for the big money BLUE NOTES & PRESTIGE, etc. But in terms of music, what I picked up today comprises most of my collection, so I'm quite happy - especially never having seen much Lionel Hampton or PeeWee Russell in most people's collections. I'm listening to record 2 of the Lionel Hampton box as I type and it's just totally blowing me away. I have a few of the RCA black&white two-fer CDs that came out a few years ago but I don't recall getting as excited when listening to those... Truly a great find for me today Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 I wish I still had my Pee Wee Bell record. Quote
Bill Nelson Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 You need to tell us which version of Jamal's 'Tranquility' you got: the 1968 LP single-jacket with the close-up head shot of Ahmad on the cover (ABCS-660) -- or the easier-to-find reissue with a gatefold jacket on ABC/Impulse which came out in 1972. Quote
tjluke68 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 It's the close-up headshot LP (original I guess). Didn't realize there's a nasty looking scratch across the first song on Side 1. Perhaps my Nitty Gritty cleaning machine will minimize the sound from it a bit... Quote
king ubu Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Found that Ibrahim/Ward duo album, Live at (somewhere) Vol. 1 (Ekapa 004) - there was never a Vol. 2 as is announced on the back, or was there? Great album, to be sure! Also found some cheap and clean ECM Vinyl (Metheny's "New Chautauqua", Bengt Berger's "Bitter Funeral", Gary Burton's "Dreams So Real", and Kenny Wheeler's "around 6") Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Ach, still looking for a vinyl of the Bengt Berger. Found that Ibrahim/Ward duo album, Live at (somewhere) Vol. 1 (Ekapa 004) - there was never a Vol. 2 as is announced on the back, or was there? Great album, to be sure! Not to my knowledge; it is excellent. Quote
Tjazz Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 Got the Glenn Miller ARMY AIR FORCE BAND (4cd) BOX SET for $25 from Amoeba. Quote

Not to my knowledge; it is excellent. I paid about 4€ for the Berger Went back today after consulting someone to get Lyle Mays self-titled album (Geffen) and also got some new ones that weren't there last time: Pat Metheny Group "American Garage" (ECM), Hugh Lawson "Colour" (Soul Note), and what looks like a very nice one, James Newton's "Paseo del Mar" (India Navigation). In addition to that, I got a 180g vinyl of Ornette's "Skies of America" from amazon, delivered in a box large enough to hold a cabbage head or some such... as I was expecting a CD, I was quite astonished by the huge box! (I didn't check the details on the amazon site closely enough... this is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/Skies-America-Ornette-Coleman/dp/B0017R5SMA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1268522279&sr=1-1 - might be out of stock now w/delivery given as 1-4 weeks... it says limited edition on a sticker on the cover) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 If you go back and find the James Newton "Flute Music" LP, you can send it to the following address... Quote
king ubu Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 If you go back and find the James Newton "Flute Music" LP, you can send it to the following address... If they have two copies... I think I should start a vinyl wantlist finally... I won't start hunting, but standing there and being in doubt whether or not to buy is an! But I'll just buy any other Newton I'll see... Quote
Big Al Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 Happy that I found the following this weekend: Waterloo Records in Austin: ROY & DIZ (Verve 2-LP reissue, $12) Weather Report LIVE IN TOKYO (Sony Japan, $15) Antone's, also in Austin: Tony Bennett with the Ralph Sharon Trio WHEN LIGHTS ARE LOW (3 bucks) Bastids Roy Eldridge DALE'S WAIL (Verve 2-LP reissue, $10 including shipping) Been kicking myself for the last five years for not getting DALE'S WAIL when I saw it for $7 at a Half-Price Books, back before I had a record player, and refusing to pay $25 to Forever Young. THIS is why I never buy vinyl from them! Been searching for WHEN LIGHTS ARE LOW, and was surprised at how difficult this was to find. I only found out about the Roy & Diz LP recently, and my interest was especially piqued because of the two tracks on side 4 (which, IIRC, aren't available on CD or anywhere else for that matter). The Weather Report was just a VERY nice surprise that I wasn't about to pass up!!! Quote
marcello Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 I have that Weather Report disc, that I bought back in the day. I'm sure that's a great deal. I actually listened to it a couple of month ago, but what can I say, my tastes have changed! Quote

Mark Stryker Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 A double dose of Tyrone Washington today at ridiculously low prices: 1. "Natural Essence" (Blue Note) -- mono, cover beat up a bit with postage-stamp "Audition MONO LP Not for Sale: sticker on the front, and "DJ" in big letters scrawled on the black. LP itself looks beat up with scratches on one side but it actually sounds great. Price: $4.72 2. "Roots" (Perception)-- in beautiful condition. Price: $9.43 Quote
colinmce Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Nice. I grabbed a pristine Liberty Natural Essence on Ebay recently for an un-contested 6 bucks. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 2nd issue KELLY GREAT on Vee-Jay, still very rare and significantly better than the cd still!! Quote
