Yes definitely up for Donny Hathaway’s releases do you know when they are scheduled for release?
No, I guess much will depend on the pace of the roll out. Looking at the catalogue numbering, the two DH albums are AAPA 051-45 and AAPA 052-45, so about 48 releases from what’s out now. At a guess we could be looking at 2025?

The last purchases were not very cheap 
I definitely wanted to have one UHQR and steely dan aja offered. I just got it and heard it 5 min very briefly. Hasn’t jumped on, but sounded fantastic. I’ll listen to them on the weekend and compare it with the standard reissue.
Phil Collins (Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 Series) I had to have them. Great sounded, unfortunately crooked, get a new one.
Annete Askvik was a coincidence, I saw it at a very small dealer and got it for 70€. Very good sound.

Hank Mobley - No Room For Squares. From the Blue Note Classic series, and what a classic it is! Could it be anything else with such a lineup of talent?? Oh yes, and to cap it all, one of the great Francis Wolff photos for the cover. Lovely pressing (well done Optimal) and great sound round off an essential LP for any collection.

Brilliant LP, only on CD at the mo but looking at getting the BNC release too!
Also the influence on John Mayer’s debut album should not be ignored!

Lineup is fantastic 
enjoy it
The consensus seems to be that Soul Station is the Hank Mobley album to have, but I’ve always preferred this one.
Any news on the sound mine is due over the weekend?
So far Bob…its excellent. Flat and quiet.
Enjoying this very much.
Any suggestions from anyone how you keep the OBI in place after removing the cellophane wrap?

The John Wright Trio - Nice ‘N’ Tasty, New Land/Prestige (2023)
Another high grade AAA reissue from New Land remastered by Kevin Grey and pressed at Pallas this is the 6th New Land reissue I’ve bought and they have gotten progressively
better going from excellent to superlative.
Equal to the very best Tone Poets pressing and sound wise it’s only the Tone Poet sleeves that are slightly better though this heavy card, Matt finished sleeve isn’t far off.
Included inside is a beautiful reproduced portrait of John Wright.
I can’t wait to give the Kenny Dorham reissue that came with it a spin later.

Billie Holiday - Songs For Distingue Lovers
2023 AS Series
Some months ago, I had the possibility to compare this record and the one from Nina Simone (Wild is the Wind) from the same series at my friend’s LP12. We both were deeply impressed by this masterpiece from Billie and the mastering of Chad Kassem. It has clarity and dynamic that are overwhelming. The soundstage is fabulous, the drums are dancing. What a record, the saxophone is so clear and standing in my room. Fantastico 
Now the best vocal Jazz album I own. I had the patience to wait for a price drop, here we go
