Yep, know them well and have heard them live a couple of times (in Malmo as well as Copenhagen). Always a great live act.

So many choices in Evans’ albums, but when the ones that brings tears to our eyes in just two notes are released with such hype, I jump onboard. And I am glad I did! Many of us bought this one as well, so you know. You know that this is mastered and pressed so rediculously beautiful, we are proud to own it. I did wonder before why Freddie Freeloader wasn’t on this album, since I love the change mid-song to active Piano and Bass and the fact that Evans didn’t perform this song on Miles’ record. Having this 45 album and listening to it over and over, I kind of like it without that song.

Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue, BN Classic Series 2nd Press (2022)
Thanks @Richard.Dane for informing me of this 2nd pressing.
Even though my 1st pressing was abysmal there was enough between the non fill to know that this was a very special remastering job by Kevin Gray and this 2nd pressing minus the issues is indeed very, very good and up there with the very best Classic Series.

A good…and a bad thing. These instant emotions on some great albums make that we don’t play them as often as I would like in our household.
@Bobthebuilder - Lovely album - I think the only thing you have time to build these days, is a bigger record collection !
Hej, hej Peter!
Nice to hear that you appreciate kent! 
Just like you say, I think you need to be Swedish to fully appreciate their subtle lyrics, but that’s how it is for us Swedes too when it comes to English lyrics, so it evens out I think 
Have a really good time and good luck in the finals that are going on right now!
Hej Bjorn.
I am Irish so am not usually shouting for the Brits! 
However I have been enjoying the women’s football tournament and the final tonight was very good. I would not begrudge the English girls their win as they have probably been the best team in the tournament. My only problem now is having to watch Sky News drone on about it for the next week!!

I wish Ian, but unfortunately I’ll be out on site 8am tomorrow morning.
On Friday I spent the afternoon checking the work of two muscled and tattooed twenty somethings who where more interested in discussing the best places to get hair transplants and teeth veneers than in anything I had to say the consensus seemed to be that Turkey was cheapest but not the best for hair transplants but unequivocally the best place for veneers because all the celebs go there was Valencia Smiles!

We had been waiting for this release for quite some time and it was worth it. Acoustic Sounds didn’t disappoint. Flat, silent pressing with a beautiful gatefold. The pictures inside match the recording wonderfully.

Charles Lloyd Trios - Chapel, BN (2022)
I’ve posted on this wonderful recording further up thread and reading the cover notes this evening whilst listening to it again I discovered that this record was Supervised by Tone Poet Joe Harley and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearant.
Fantastic to see the Tone Poet gang involved in brand new recordings as well as their reference work on the BN back catalogue.
Hopefully they are involved in the remaining two Charles Lloyd Trios due out later in the year because this one is superb.

A very nice record indeed HH I have an original copy otherwise I would have bought one of these reissues I do have three other titles from the Timeless MOV series though and they are all excellent.
Yes! Found it! And received it. 
This one, one of three Hubbard titels I love, from ORG instead of Pure Pleasure. Managed to buy this left over copy straight from the source, ORG music on their Discogs account.
The Grundman mastering is stunning, the reverbs (or more likely studio echo’s from the brass instruments) I hadn’t heard before on my digital copy.
