I saw this reissue last year and kinda forgot about it. On hearing Kahil El’Zabar’s release from this year, Be Known, (one of my favourite releases of the year) I revisited this and it is so good. Been on order for 6 weeks from Honest Jon’s and just landed. Originally a CD only release from Delmark, this 2LP reissue sounds fantastic and really does it justice. @kafunis this’d be right up your street if you haven’t heard it already.
 
The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!

This is a record I had only spun once before, and I now remember why. A friend of mine gifted me this years ago when she found out I collected vinyl. She said she just went into a thrift store and picked whatever LP they had smh.
