Dude, if you're into "objects", not in general, but when they're really worth it, try to score a really cheap copy of the Mingus Revisited reissue of this on Limelight (not Trip, b/c that's some jacked up shit right there, the do a Trip job on the reissue, not the original, what did they care?). The more fucked up the vinyl is, the better, because lower price. But man, that packaging...one of the best Limelight jobs I've seen, and that's saying a lot. It's worthy of Mingus, and not that many things from the time really were. I try to imagine a parallel universe where Limelight was the OG label for Let My Children Hear Music and cry tears of awestruck wonder for something that never happened or could happen. I don't care that Leonard Feather wrote the line notes, I just look at the thing, feel it, touch it, and that's enough. For once, somebody gave Mingus regal packaging, impulse! worked it, but they were deluxe with a budget, if you know what I mean. Limelight seems like they didn't give a damn about no stinkin' budget until they apparently had no choice.

 

I had a copy of the Limelight reissue - vinyl was fairly beat up, packaging wasn't - and replaced it with the CD version. Probably should have kept the Limelight, but live some, (and hope to) learn some.

Love that Susie Ibarra disc.

Now playing:

Sam Rivers - Dimensions & Extensions, from the Complete Blue Note Mosaic box. I listened with Chuck's reservations about this session in mind. I understand his qualms, but I mostly like it. There are tunes that only catch fire when Rivers is soloing, and Donald Byrd seems ill at ease - but to me the positives outweigh the negatives. Although if I could only keep one Sam Rivers album, this wouldn't be it.
