i remembered that you were looking for that one awhile back! no clue if its restocked elsewhere but the album itself rules. i have the classic records version I think.Sir, you are a fucking angel. I haven’t panic bought anything that fast ever
Doesn't look like its back on AS. In fact, the listing for the album is gone entirely. Not quite sure how some mint copies just popped up on The In Groove but boy am I glad I was able to nab one. Been hoping I'd get a chance at this album for the past 3 years.
Louis sidebar:
Louis Armstrong Duke Ellington-The Great Reunion-180 Gram Vinyl Record|Acoustic Sounds I bought this one from Amoeba a few years back, have no idea on the actual source/mastering details but this sounds great to my ears and I spin it quite regularly. Has some of my absolute favorite Louis songs on it (Azalea, Solitude), definitely recommend picking it up if you can find it.
Next, does anyone have this pressing? Thinks its next on my Louis wantlist Louis Armstrong-Plays WC Handy Mono-180 Gram Vinyl Record|Acoustic Sounds

Just got a shipping notice from MD for an April preorder of Candy-O, so you weren't seeing things.

Picked up this pressing of CSNY’s “So Far” the other day and it sounds exceptional.
Heavy vinyl, extremely quiet, and the dynamics are quite impressive. The instrumental separation really stood out to me.

Did anyone pick up the Art Blakey & JM - First Flight to Tokyo?
What are your thoughts? Is it worth ~$40?
On the one hand, I don’t know what I’m expecting given this thread is basically full of enablers… but figured I’d ask.

My copy is in transit. From what I've read, the playing is top notch and the audio is adequate. It won't be top tier audiophile live material, but I'm sure we will be pleased. Blue Note has excellent instincts when it comes to what they release these days. I'll report back when I give it a listen, but that may not be for another week, given USPS's backlog.
Blue Note's instincts - anything from this period of Blakey will sell, so dig out whatever there is. 1961...2021...no royalties! No licensing costs! Just - master it (doesn't cost much) and press 'em up - go!
My take on this.
Is it worth $40? That's not the issue for me. It's a question of how often, if ever, I will have an urge to pull it off the shelf and listen to it.
And that becomes a matter of time and value, not money. As a package, it is lovely and well worth $40. Would I play it over Indestructible, or Buhaina's Delight, or Mosaic? No. When I want Blakey, with Shorter, Timmons and Morgan, will this be in my favorite 5? No. Is it essential? Not at all. Is it, if not essential, unique and interesting? Not really. A concert hall setting was not the ideal situation for this group. They had to, by the nature of the rather conservative sit-down audience and the records which were available in Japan at the time, stick to a pretty stock set list and pretty straight up interpretations. In fact, similar era live sets on Jazz Corner of the World show much more adventurous repertiore and playing. Those two are far more essential than Tokyo.
If I didn't have a lot of Blakey, this would be a maybe, but only after Indestructible, Mosaic, Buhaina, Free For All, Night In Tunisia, Big Beat, Freedom Rider, Child's Dance, Soul Finger and others. And once there are those, Tokyo would sit on the shelf after one play.
The final issue, again my thinking only, is that the $40 could be much, much better spent. There's lots of great music coming out of the UK, Europe and elsewhere (not the USA much though). That music is today, future classics, and fresh. Artists creating today. Not a dead mono tape laying around that someone can get $40 for effortlessly and without any studio, artist or royalty costs.

I have AAA Pure Pleasure pressing. It's not bad, I imagine finding a good vintage copy would have a better, fuller, warmer sound. It's a compilation though, so some tracks were recorded better than others and sound really good, while others sound pretty thin and harsh.
You don't really need this unless you have most of the releases @RHANDMJ mentioned. I absolutely love Blakey but there are so many others I will continue to spin over this one. Moanin, Indestructible, Free for All, Buhaina, Caravan, Freedom Rider, etc.

Really enjoying the Boom Boom Gerry Mulligan Night Lights reissue! It seems to be OOS at most places but apparently a repress is already under way.

Out of leftfield a bit, but I’ve been listening to the The’s Soul Mining nonstop for the past day and I’m wondering if anyone has the box set from a few years ago? The original UK pressing I have sounds fantastic but if anyone has the box and cares to share how it sounds, that would be awesome.

I have it but it’s been a while since I put it on. That will soon be rectified and I’ll report back.

I finally tracked down this copy of Murmur and it arrived today...but the disc inside the sleeve was Reckoning. Message sent to the discogs seller, hopefully they can sort it out but I'm doubtful.I was curious since; as I stated, my copy of Murmur is the brown translucent wax but this Discogs entry makes no mention of this. So I figured I should double check my runout out and lo and behold, I had the wrong version listed. Back when I was first setting up my Discogs, Didn’t understand the importance of matching the entry to my actual copy and it appeared this was likely the culprit, This only effected my first 50 or so entries and I have corrected most of them but every now and then I will find one and that appears to be the case here. Anyways, I have now added the correct edition.
This one here…
