My Essentials, R/HH and Country records shipped on the 6th and were scanned into a sack/container in Illinois on the 10th; my Sun Ra shipped on the 9th and was scanned into a sack/container on the 13th; my Bill Withers shipped on the 17th and was scanned into a sack/container on Monday...
None of them have moved since.

I stand corrected.
The ROTMs and the Sun Ra just showed up 5 minutes ago, despite zero updates to the tracking.

Nobody knows. Won't even get an idea until like mid next month.

This is my favourite classics month so far and I was actually a bit apprehensive about the liner notes. I'm a sucker for reading jazz-related books/essays and really didn't want it to be written by someone that was learning it all for the first time themselves (nothing against that it's just something we could all do ourselves).
I just read the ROTM page for Take Twelve and it's so refreshing to see someone actually reference the books and sources. Ashawnta Jackson has done a stellar job setting the scene in my opinion.

Lee Morgan's Jam Session Turned Powerhouse Album
It’s late 1961, and Lee Morgan is a man without. He’d lost his place to live; his wife, Kiko, whom he’d married just a year earlier, had left him; and, desperate for drug money, he’d sold his trumpet. There was a silence in his life. But silences always find a way to get filled, and maybe this...

I am extremely excited to spin this ROTM! This is such a spectacular pick and I think this will be a top 3 Classics ROTM for me! I love the Bill Withers and Leon Ware picks the most this year! This Lee Morgan pick is just as good as the Leon Ware pick for me personally! I also love the King Curtis and Dorothy Ashby Classics picks too but I think I just prefer the Lee Morgan ROTM a tiny bit more!This is my favourite classics month so far and I was actually a bit apprehensive about the liner notes.

I have been wishing for Lee Morgan to be picked up for a ROTM since the days of the old forum so im over the moon with this.
I guess I was able to add the classics track and shows I should be getting it.

Mine turned up today ..gone for Emmylou this month
Very excited for this Lee Morgan record. I said it when it was initially announced, but I think it’s my favorite Classics pick of the year so far.
One thing I noticed is that it’s pressed at RTI instead if QRP. I’ve had pretty bad luck with them recently, so I’m hoping I get a clean copy.

Question - how is the pressing quality of the James Booker 'Paramount Tapes' release from few years ago? Anyone got feedback? Might grab it in swaps this month.
I don't own it but I remember people LOVING that one, its apparently one of the hidden gems in the classics catalogue
I picked it up recently and it sounds really great to me.

I don’t think it’s AAA but it sounds really good. Only thing I’d caution is see if you can pick it up on discogs or somewhere else for cheaper. It’s one of those titles that regularly shows up when VMP has a sale, you should be able to get it for well below $33 unless something’s recently changed.
