Like, I've spent a LOT of money, much of it foolishly, on some of the most random and unnecessary shit in the name of my love for Sun Ra - hell, being willing to buy a couple of $6 stickers fits in that category perfectly!

I've even ordered more than a few records, Sun Ra or otherwise that cost more to ship than for the record themselves...

But this is above and beyond.

Heads up on RSD BF coming up. These two are for me the prime jazz titles - neither are recycled, spotty live material or even more spotty out-takes. These are good.

Gary Saracho - En Medio is late vintage Impulse, a title that went nowhere and disappeared to the cutout bins almost as soon as it was released in 1973 and has never been reissued since. Too bad, it is a good album and quite fun to listen to, definitely of the era, yet very 70's California street vibe. This reissue is probably digital, but like the new Ptah reissue is a RKS cut. Sounds great.

The Mingus on Candid blue vinyl is a fine record with plenty of fine Dolphy and some Booker as well, and the RSD is a BG analog cut that greatly exceeds previous reissue attempts.

Kind of pushing the jazz definition, but Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers- Super Freak is very horn driven, so maybe it counts. Anyways, it is a great record. Most of Side 1 is a Curtis Mayfield medley, so you can figure out where this one is at. Sound is fine, not excellent, but this isn't the Symphony and it has the fire.

I should also give mention far outside jazz (but not that far) to Captain Beefheart's Clear Spot, given a 2-LP expansion with a Bellman cut. It sounds fabulous, and is just a really cool Beefheart record. The presentation is outstanding, from the embossed cover to the gatefold and clear inner sleeves - and it is on clear vinyl. This one will end up a collectible.

And another RSD passes by...

I have mentioned the fantastic We Jazz Helsinki jazz magazine series a couple of times in the past (@avecigrec picked up a couple as well I believe) and just thought I would share their upcoming winter edition.

The cover piece is a deepdive into the Black Jazz series, written by Daniel Spicer. His 'Lost In The Vaults' is a book that I read earlier this year and really enjoyed it (its essentially a page per record of obscure or lesser known jazz) so it should be a good read.

Anyone know much about the 3 Impulse titles out this week? I’m seeing Tauhid, Attica Blues and Pneuma getting reissued and apparently all pressed at Pallas. The images all seem to suggest official UMG releases and looking closely at the rear credits there seems some affiliation with jazzecho.de but that site has them for sale but doesn’t mention anything about the mastering.
I’d love Pneuma and would probably replace my Tauhid if they’re decent masters.
EDIT: seeing Marion Brown’s Vista too.
