    Record Store Day 2025

    Still hoping for Nathan Davis Happy Girl if anyone sees one. Simple black and white cover. I’m in line at a shop, but it doesn’t open for three hours still (small place with mostly used that keeps regular hours), and my wife wants the car this morning so … if I want a happy girl I’d be better...

    Record Store Day 2025

    are they going to be in record stores? SE has been hyping the hell out of them so I assumed most people would order from them online. But you make a lot of sense, and I hadn't considered that.

    Record Store Day 2025

    I’m hoping for Pharoah. It’s RSD Excclusive and only 1500 copies, so, in theory it could be tough. BUT, if Discogs is an indication, the 3 Strata East reissues do not seem to have sold like gangbusters (fewer than 50 “haves” for all three). Perhaps it matters that Pharoah is a bigger artist name...

    I’d seen this and it’s pretty intense but interesting for anyone who wants to nerd out. I’m sure the SHF types and others will have a field day telling him what needs to be corrected, so hopefully he’ll have errors/problems ironed out by the cruel open market over time. As for the lack of...

    If you’re happy w the CDs and don’t feel some urgent need to have Slugs on vinyl, there’s no need to double dip that I can see. Meyond that, my specific thoughts about Slugs KGs and my previous copies are above so wont repeat them.

    Fantastic. You should show him some of the SNL “What’s Up With That” sketches, with Fred Armisen fake-playing what I think it a toy sax in (to me) a quite humorous way, along with even more humorous dancing by Jason Sudeikis.

    lol. you're on the right track w him!! The Rouse sounds quite nice, and my copy was silent (my Slugs has a bit of surface noise but not bad). I think Strata East titles were recorded in different studios by different engineers, so there's no one sound for them. I have nothing to compare the new...

    I just did a quick A/B of the new Slugs Vol II to the PP Vol. II The PP is fine and certainly adequate. The new one by KG is a step up in all the ways KG is normally (to me) a step up from _some_ previous cuts -- more air, better separation, better clarity, nice soundstage, etc. Fwiw, I also...

    They shipped mine, too. I’m getting Rouse and Tolliver/Slug’s. I already have Japanese Musa from 70s. I’ve owned and sold a couple versions of Slugs (PP and an JP press of Vol 1) and have not been happy w any of them so I’m hoping this reissue improves on them. It may just be the recording isn’t...

    Amazing. Thanks!! I also had Hal’s and Nakano on my list, but this is a great resource (recognizing some might be out of date)

    Anyone familiar with Tokyo (paging @bornard !!), please send recs for record stores that specialize or are strong in jazz. I’ll be w my daughter so will be doing plenty of other touristy things, but a few record stores and jazz kissaten are priorities for me (I follow Tokyo Jazz Joints and have...

    I just picked up a pristine copy of the 1987 reissue of Sullivan/Re-Entry, and it’s phenomenal. May have the biggest delta between quality and notoriety of anything in my collection.
