I pre-ordered this but just been told that most of the LPs the seller received were damaged in transit, so they have had to order in more…
Oh dear perhaps buy another copy somewhere else and get a refund.
Archie Shepp & Mal Waldron - Left Alone Revisited, Enja/Pure Pleasure (2021) Arriving next week.
These two old Jazz masters came together in 2002 to record this rework of the Billie Holiday recordings that Mal originally played on and the result is top drawer and apparently Pure Pleasure have done an excellent job remastering it’s also pressed at Pallas, Germany.

Love this album but sq on my cd not good. Do you recommend the latest vinyl reissue? Seaview label
Thanks
White vinyl. After pre-ordering this and hearing tracks on the net, I wondered why I bothered, as her voice grated on me. However, playing it on my system she’s very smooth and actually it sounds very good. As popular as she is, I don’t think the radio or the usual digital playbacks do her any justice. Very surprised by this vinyl, but there again she did sound good live when I saw her.

Jaimie Branch, Fly Or Die Live on double LP.
Bought at her gig at the Jazz Cafe on Friday. It’s probably not visible, but it has been autographed “Yo Kevin, love Jaimie”

Donald Byrd & Pepper Adams - Motor City Scene, Bethlehem (2022) Pre Order
Another Bethlehem reissue the again I’m not able to find out anything regarding remastering and pressing but as it’s from Amazon it’s easy enough to cancel/return. I was toying with buying the Vinyl Me Please reissue earlier this year but it was a bit pricey.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue 50th anniversary Box Set, Columbia (2008)
For £25 this has to be one of my best value purchases I’ve not listened to either CD or watched the DVD yet but the vinyl remastered at Sterling Sound and pressed at Optimal is as very good and an enjoyable listen.
The Box Set is lovely quality and was produced by Michael Cuscuna who co founded Mosaic Records The hard back book is beautiful quality full of excellently reproduced photographs and I really look forward to reading it. Also included are six 8x10 excellent quality prints of the band and a couple of pages of hand written notes by Bill Evans and a large glossy poster.

A bargain at £25 - where did you find that?
On Discogs by accident I ended up spending quite a bit with this one seller that turned out to be an excellent haul details of which are up thread. I spend hours looking for records Clive and every now and then you hit a bit of a jackpot.
