A band I appreciate more now than I did at the time. Seen Nigel Clark live couple of times and he is such a great singer/song writer. Had to get this at the price (£13.50).

I was hoping to buy a copy of the new Emily Remler live album released on Friday as one of the Record Store Day special releases. However, not one of the independent stores near me are planning to stock it. So I guess I’ll be getting the CD when it’s released next week.

Looks good - but a bit pricey on vinyl so the CD version is probably the way to go. Saves on the hype queuing on Friday morning too !

@Clive @Dynaudio1 – It’s a superb album. I have the CD, and it sounds just dandy. Recommended.

Oh dear - I can feel an early morning queuing coming on… !
With the work I’m having done on my LP12 I thought it would be nice to have it on vinyl. Sadly, however, the record stores in the south-west don’t seem to think anyone likes jazz. So CD it is.

I checked ‘Raves From The Grave’ list in Frome and they aren’t stocking it, sadly. In fact I don’t think they are getting any jazz in for the day. Shame.
AAA remaster by Kevin Gray at Cohearent, with Bruce Botnick. 6-LP box set from Rhino, limited to 3000 numbered copies worldwide. This went on sale Friday Nov. 22 and was sold out by the end of the weekend. Individual, non-numbered titles will be available starting in January.
I’ve listened to three sides so far (Morrison Hotel + side 1 of LA Woman) and I have never heard this music sound so good. Kevn and Bruce knocked this out f the park.

I have to agree, a good selection of Jazz on vinyl is a bit scare west of Andover, I usually wait until I get back to the south east to see the family then find that I have a lot more choice in the record shops.
As soon as I heard about this one I went online to look but must have just missed the boat as all sold out. I note though that it’s already being offered on eBay for many times the original price… ah well.
The Cry! Prince Lasha Quintet featuring Prince Lasha on flute, Sonny Simmons on alto sax, Gary Peacock and Mark Proctor on basses, and Gene Stone on drums. I was very excited to receive this as it’s one of the few Contemporary releases I didn’t already have. The Contemporarys rarely ever disappoint, either in performance or in sound, and this one is no different - what a great record! Nice QRP pressing and Stoughton tip-on sleeve too.

Just hang in there until January and you’ll be able to buy individual titles. You can cherry pick, or get them all.
The Cry is – in my opinion – one of the best reissues to come in this series. It reminds me a lot of Ornette Coleman’s Atlantic era quartets or Old and New Dreams quartet (ECM, Black Saint). And that makes sense because these guys went to high school together in Texas.

I called them too. Sad, I agree. Still, the CD will be fine. I have all her other output, leader and guest, in either CD, vinyl or both. I was hoping for both on this release too, but it doesn’t look like it is to be.

CD is likely the way to go on this one. It’s from a radio broadcast I believe so unlikely to be audiophile. Having said that, I like the big booklets that come with the Resonance LP sets !
Strange that ‘Raves’ is not getting in any of the jazz titles. They usually do some of the Resonance titles at least. Some of them did appear though in the sale after the April RSD so maybe they are being cautious.

Showed this to my wife and it got a good laugh out of her.
