Came yesterday! we've been really busy here so I haven't given it a proper listen just yet but it's I. deck this afternoon.
Just bought a 45rpm MM of “Out to Lunch” on eBay. Came to about $55 with shipping and tax making it the most expensive record I ever bought. Feeling a little foolish right now even though I feel like it’s one of the more highly regarded MMs. Anybody have this one?

The MM pressings are worth it especially for albums you really lIke. Good, older pressings of that album aren’t cheap. I don’t have the MM of that record specifically but every MM I have sounds awesome.

Welcome to the fancy-pants reissue club! Be careful - at first $55 seems like a big reach but then, next thing you know, you're looking at $125 MoFi one-steps! Enjoy the record; it's amazing. And, if it makes you feel any better, I will happily buy that Out to Lunch off of you for the $55 you paid if you're not into it at all.

Looked it up and you actually got a really good price on that...hope you enjoy it! Typically sells for much more now. MM has it for $75 on their site and I think it's $10 shipping on top of that.

Just going to cross post this because I dont want anyone to miss out:
I've not heard of this musician until now, but my god the one track I have heard from him, Amathambo, is stunning. A killer free-jazz/spiritual jazz/world music song.
The reason I mention him is because he has a new album out soon through Blue Note by the sounds of it!

That's a really cool track. What is UP with the 3D piano keys in the video though? hah

So...this reminds me to start stalking eBay for more jazz listings. I've only been collecting vinyl for a short time - can anyone enlighten me on if MM eventually restocks anything? Like the SRX pressings or any of the high demand stuff? Is it all a mystery or can has there been any anecdotal tales of restocking? Just curious...
On a related note, I had made a purchase for a backordered Coltrane album on April 14th from Acoustic Sounds and it finally came back in stock and was shipped today. Hooray!
Was it one of those Coltrane Prestige AP reissues? I’m waiting for them to repress some of that Prestige stuff.

Yep, it was this guy - still says backordered but allegedly there is one coming my way...

They seem to restock certain titles once in a great while but I would not count on it. They’ve got a bunch of nice titles on sale right now fwiw.

Finally got the Cassandra Wilson’s Tone Poet and I must say it is mighty fine. Probably in the top half so far. If you’re on the fence and can get it at a reasonable price, do it.

got this from over on the PIF thread! Had held off on buying it and almost picked up the regular variant recently but glad I waited!
How is the pressing quality? Seems like there were complaints that it is noisy or has a lot of surface noise.

That was the other reason why I held off. So far so good! No surface noise on this copy on the first disc. And when I entered it into discogs, I was surprised to see copies for as low as like $21+ shipping on there.

I had this crazy robotic/glitch type noise on mine at a couple places. My replacement is fine though.
On a side note this has to be the album of the year for me. I was lucky enough to see Joel Ross live at a really intimate setting (our table was touching the stage!) and they played constantly for about 3 hours with just 1 break inbetween. It was just amazing. Even today, 3 months later, I still find myself humming bits from the show.
