the Pure Pleasure pressing of Jim Hall- Concierto has gotten a repress for anybody interested in it. The album is awesome.

The pressing in this box is as good as or better than any other I've heard, including that 2020 pressing @keylime_5 listed (which I think is a repress of that 2007 listing). Price has been falling on this, so why stop at Blue?

Yeah the box set version by BG is supposed to be the best if you want the rest of her early albums too. Great price too for the quality/quantity.
The 2007 is KG@ATM with Steve Hoffman. The 2020 is a new cut by Kevin Gray at Coherant, but both sound pretty much the same. Both pressed at RTI, housed in tip-on gatefolds.

Finally got my Sundazed order from their scratch and dent sale. The "damage" on them is all laughably small. Didn't notice anything particularly bad with them aside from one having a small bent corner.
Some surprise boom booms
in there. Sly and the Family Stone - Dance To The Music, the VU comp, Otis Rush - Mourning in the Morning and Johnny Cash - With His Hot and Blue Guitar were all KG cuts. Got all those plus Otis Redding - The Soul Album and Canned Heat self-titled mono for $85. Might be worth checking out the sale if it's still on.

I grabbed the Skip Spence-Oar from that sale (also a KG cut) and it sounds great. Good luck finding an original of that one for a reasonable price too.

I was hoping the Otis Soul Album was the KG cut but sadly it wasn't. But for $12, can't complain too much!

Great suggestion! Will check availability locally.

Great advice! Now it's either one of those or plunge for the box set suggested.

I have the KG cut and it's awesome. But everybody I know with the box set also loves it and if you can't find the KG cut at or around original list price then the box would be a good move if someone local to you sells it!

That is what I ended up doing. I was hunting the 2020 version for a while but when you factored in shipping etc, I could get the box set for about $20 more.
Ordered the US pressing (RTI) from Amazon. Comes in around the price here, but from what I gather the RTI pressing is a little better than the European.

Think Amazon.ca had it initially on preorder for just over $100. At 25 bucks a record that are good quality pressings was worth it.

FWIW, I'm not sure how many bad Blue pressings are out there. The original Grundman is great too. With that said, I agree with the masses that it's hard to go wrong with the most recent pricing and quality wise unless you want vintage really badly.
Don’t do it! Absolutely don’t do it! The guy is fucking crazy. If it works he will dispatch it next day and gravy. If it doesn’t you enter the twilight zone of bizarre English, articles about the universal masters fire repeatedly and without relevance, circular logic and eventually after you’ve lost the will to live and many months later he’ll have a pop at you for some made up reason and you’ll get the refund.
