I want to thank you for dropping this rec. Both of these Shepp recordings were new to me and I'm really digging them.
Now if I could only find them at a reasonable price.
I think the distinction Billie is trying to make is not about various color variants but rather the artists who offer multiple vinyl "packages" that include different tracks or merch.
Those of us (er, all of us) who suffer from FOMO start chasing down every package variant - and suddenly end up...
I don't know if you'll ever find a copy of Billy's Live Bait on vinyl, but the Gear Daddies are playing First Ave on May 4th.
Might just coincide with your next trip to Minnesota to visit your daughter!
