What music did you buy today?

[Brad]

In our area we don’t have many record shops. I thought one that had, art one point, multiple locations had gone out of business. However, I discovered today it’s still in business and went over there today and bought 

Grant Green Funk in France

Monk’s Les Liasons Dangereuse

Coltrane’s Heavyweight Champion

I could have probably found them cheaper on line but it’s also important to try to support local record stores, even if it cost me a few extra $.

Good move. No decent record stores in my area, but I do the same with the local independent book store.

I couldn't resist this for $15.17 though I have the big box. The Master Takes.

My latest purchases are all about Melvin Rhyne:

Japanese guitarist with Rhyne and Grady Tate (!)

All-Star band with Rhyne, James Spaulding, Al Kiger, Larry Ridley, Alonto "Spookie" Johnson, etc. - loose jam session affair, it seems. https://www.discogs.com/Uncle-Funkenstein-Together-Again/release/4017046

Phish:  Baker's Dozen.  Individually on livephish.com ($299).  Perhaps the greatest RnR transpiration in my 33 years on the planet.  Pending release of a deluxe box set consolidating all 13 shows with a cache of flea market accoutrements likely indicates the pending death of individual installments on CD; thus, purchase of all separate shows for 60% of the new glambox will be one of those future laments if eschewed.  If you don't know about the band's legendary 2 week MSG residency at this point, then I can be of no assistance.  The Caps won, eh?!  Ovie #8!!

It's better for listening. I started with the 2CD when the big box was released, much later bought the big box when it became a budget release in the EU. Then I bought the 4CD set you got, and the improved mastering by Vic Anesini from 2007 is another reason I am able to listen to this without distraction.

A true bargain ....

The image is photoshopped, though. That colour photo of tree and sky and hay(?) is nowhere to be found in the booklet. All black, white and purple text and photos.

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

Announcement of the deluxe CD box set @ about $500 slated for release later this year - and with accoutrements lost on my Spartan style - sparked anxiety about the continuing availability of individual shows in physical form, so I belatedly pulled the trigger on the latter.  Certainly the most extraordinary live performance RnR event in my lifetime.

Had to make a work trip near a rare semi-local (Kingston, NY) brick/mortar shop. Was pleasantly surprised to find the following CDs (used, very good condition):

Wow. I don't think I even knew that existed. Will be very interested to hear your impressions

Knew this platter before - this is an outstanding David Murray recording with Steve Lacy`s Rhythm Section in peak form....

Promo original of:

Nice clean copy of a Herb Ellis LP I'd never seen before:

Bunch of Alice Coltrane Impulse CDs + pre-ordered the WB reissue coming out in Sept.

Alice Coltrane ‘Translinear Light’. Eluded me when it cam out - a lovely release.

Miles Davis - The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions: I have owned the original CD issue of Workin' for years, but I held off on buying the other albums due to there being this (formerly expensive) box and the RVG reissues.  I remember seeing this box in Borders (*sigh*) when it was released for around $50, IIRC.  I found it on eBay yesterday for $5.99, including shipping, which is a crazy bargain.

Awesome !

That's a great bargain. The mastering by Joe Tarantino, however, is uncharacteristically loud, imo. You can't crank this up like you can OJCs. Very irritating. His work on the Coltrane Fearless Leader box from just after is much better and not tiring at all. I once saw one Amazon reviewer mistaking this Miles Davis box for RVG remastering, too lazy to read the booklet, but going by the loudness alone I cannot blame him. Every thing else by Joe Tarantino I like (16bit OJCs, 24bit OJCs, box sets, etc.).

I finally found a reasonably priced copy of this 2 disc set, so I jumped on it --
