There are a number of tape glitches reported but I do recall a significant one on Fire In The Hole. It exists on all copies although SP fail to mention it on their site. I sent my copy back many many years ago.
After the disappointment of the UMe Can’t Buy A Thrill, here we have an absolute corker from the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series; Andrew Hill - Point Of Departure. One of the truly great Blue Notes here sounding very fresh and alive. Beautifully cut by Kevin Gray and a flawless pressing from Optimal.
Relaxin’ With The Miles Davis Quintet - A reissue from an unknown record company (at least to me), it’s cheap but not bad.
The music is wonderful, of course!
Excellent reissue of this 1969 Denis Preston Lansdowne Recording featuring the elite of 60’s & 70’s British Jazz.
Bass – Dave Green
Drums – Trevor Tomkins
Guitar – Amancio D’Silva
Saxophone – Don Rendell
Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Ian Carr
Recorded the year I was born and criminally forgotten but to a few enthusiasts. Copies of the original have sold for just under £2,000 so this beautifully done reissue is a must.
Mansur Brown - NAQI Mixtape VOL1&2, Amai Records (2022)
Third Long Player from Mansur Brown the prodigious young Jazz guitarist from London. Again he fuses genres to create another first rate recording well recorded, mastered and pressed.
At the risk of lowering the tone, I’m unconfident with posting my “last vinyl” purchase in amongst all of the above esoterica, however, it was Polo and Pan’s Caravelle (deluxe edition, no less). Depending on your taste, there are some great tracks to be enjoyed.
RW - Swing when you’re winning 2013 issue
Absolutely surprised, very good SQ and a wonderful pressing, no issues, dead flat
Ordered it last week for 16 EUR at amazon, what a bargain, just love these old Swing classics, far better than i.e. my NancyLee copy for 50 EUR, that I had to send back…
