What's Spinning

It's always a treat to stumble upon something "new to me" even if she was larger than life 60 years ago. What a treat this dive has been

Ruth Brown- Rockin' With Ruth

 

[D Jilla]

That’s kind of what I’m hoping. Most of the Classics announced so far repeat MM albums I already have, and I’m not super-eager to learn there’s some vast difference that makes sense out of buying them all again. The only one I’ve picked up so far was The Real McCoy, and I thought my ‘70s pressing sounded better, so fingers crossed...

Yeah, I really wish they did the Classics series using the Tone Poet specs, but I'm guessing that would have been stepping on MM's toes too much (and also pissing off folks who bought the 33 MM pressings at much higher prices ).

[Poly-Rythmo]

#1433-1444

The National - Virginia
Franco/OK Jazz - The Loningisa Years 1956-61

Interesting EP but the sound is rather anaemic, and a great Congolese compilation with nice booklet of the genius that is Franco.

Been beefing up my CD collection too recently:

Nicole Willis And The Soul Investigators - Tortured Soul

 

[Selaws]

Group Sounds Four & Five ‎– Black & White Raga (Jazz In Britain, 2021 First Limited Pressing)

This is such a hidden gem. The only time that the groups music was recorded and its a blinder.

FANTASTIC album! Nicole Willis doesn't get enough love.

If This Ain't Love is one of my favorite songs ever. She's definitely under-appreciated!
