Durand Jones & The Indications - Private Space
Pre order released 30th July.
If your going to buy this and your quick there is a limited edition bundle with a free signed print and live CD unfortunately though you do have to put up with the coloured vinyl.
One of my favourite ‘new’ bands of the past few years I saw them live at the Concord 2 in Brighton back in 2019 and they where excellent so have high hopes for the live CD.
Jaubi - Nafs at Peace
Pre Order released May 28th
Beautiful traditional Pakistani folk music mixed with Spiritual Jazz and deep driving bass lines really looking forward to this.
I totally agree 
St. Vincent - Daddy’s Home. Rough Trade Exclusive bronze vinyl.
That’s good! Thanks again appreciated
PAUL WELLER FAT POP
Just posted this on the PW page;
Just been listening to sound samples of the black and translucent vinyl pressings of Fat Pop on Juno records.
Some really alarming what sounds like scratches on tracks 2, 3 & 4.
The translucent yellow vinyl sounds dull and muddy compared to the black pressing.
Be interested to hear what other members find when they have the physical vinyl in hand.
Edit: spoke to Juno their investigating
A lovely trio from Jess at Pure Pleasure Records… Terry Riley In C; Limited Stops Only by jazz vibist Rickey Kelly; and a white label of Creative Art Ensemble’s debut album, One Step Out.
£50 is a rip-off, considering this one can be picked up for $40 in the US.
No it isn’t imo, it costs more in the UK as its imported I believe. Not sure which neck of the woods you’re in, but if your outside the US its gonna cost you a lot more than an extra tenner to nip over there and get one.
( single vinyl Tone Poets are around £35 and worth every penny in my view, so £45 to £48 for a double is about right, the fact that it’s only 3 sided isn’t particularly relevant, the manufacturing cost will be pretty much the same I expect)
Incidentally Vanished Gardens was available on a more costly imported US RTI pressing and a cheaper European pressing. The RTI is much better, like I said yer gets what yer pays for
@Dreadatthecontrols @Dynaudio1 – All the BN Tone Poets are imported from the US, which accounts for the fact that they are more expensive in the UK/Europe than Stateside. But they’re still cheaper than trying to get them direct from the USA, the postal charges are horrendous!
Thanks Kev I know, that mirrors exactly what I was saying.
@Dynaudio1 sorry for any confusion for a moment I thought we were discussing the new Charles Lloyd, my same point and opinions apply though.
Just to add, in your view you may consider them too expensive for you, fair enough, but to accuse them of being a rip off I dont think is fair comment.
Atb
Might also be worth pointing out that since leaving the EU, shipping costs from there, as expected, have skyrocketed
But the pound has appreciated a bit against the $. Sorry but I don’t buy it - £50 for 3 sides of vinyl is not value ! I might add that I have picked up some of these Tone Poets for around the £25 mark, which seems more like it, albeit for single LP.
To put these costs into context - Andrew Hill’s entire Blue Note 60s output (exc. Passing Ships) was put out back in the day by Mosaic at a cost which was somewhat less than £100, on 7CDs I think. Now that’s what I call value ! They also had a 180g LP edition - pricier but still at less than £20 per LP.
Rag ‘N’ Bone Man - Life by Misadventure
Treat your ears!
I too have picked up 3 Tone Poets all for under £25 one being a double. Blue Note UK have sales from time to time too, earlier this year most of the older TP releases where available for as little as £23.
It’s a question of shopping around and as these are not limited editions there will possibly be more pressings so I’m prepared to wait for those titles I want to come up at cheaper prices.
Yes, give it time and there’s a good chance that these will drop in price again (hopefully).
Sharing the latest additions to my vinyl beginners’ collection as they are coming in.

Happy to have found this near mint copy, as the paper used for these gatefolds was very fragile.
