Not recieved it yet, but I can tell you it was recorded via a microphone suspended mid-stage (or mid-hall, I can’t remember) so it’s better than a lot of bootleg Doors gigs (Boot Your Butt, anyone) but it’ll never beat a soundboard recording…
BUT…it was a really good gig, sound quality notwithstanding.
I will be buying this to support farmers mental well-being, whatever you may think its a great cause
Have a great Christmas
Martin
really great, glad I got them
I have ordered the Bill Evans. And the ‘Original’ Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.
I saw that both Evans and King will be digitally released in a couple of weeks and figured I could live with the B.B. King on Qobuz…
I always wanted this on record. I had it on cassette a long time ago but they all went when the cassette player died.
The Steven Wilson remaster, 20% off and free postage on cyber Monday.
Sounds great and a lovely pressing.
Oohh…I really hope Gerald is on that!
Just arrived. Was supposed to be a Xmas present (for me😁) but tempted to forget that and stick it on the LP12 now!
I’m right now listening to this album. It’s truly amazing.
I gave in to temptation and played it ( well, seemed sensible to check there were no pressing faults in case it needed to go back and anyway, what if I was run over by a bus on Xmas eve😆). Have to agree it sounds incredibly good for a record pressed from a tape made in 1955.
I received my copy of the new Rhino High Fidelity box set of six Coltrane Atlantic albums on mono. These are mastered from the original mono tapes my Kevin Gray and pressed at Optimal.
I’m listening to Giant Steps now and it’s the best I’ve ever heard this album. Fantastic!
The gatefold jackets have the cover art of the original French releases, with the U.S. jacket art and notes inside the gatefold. Each album also includes excellent essays/notes by Syd Scwhartz.
Rebecca Pidgeon - The Raven
I didn’t exactly buy this, but was sent it by Chesky Records after I’d reviewed the album. Rather nicely it’s been signed by Rebecca too. I shall slip it on the Okki Nokki then give it a play on the LP12.
Portishead “Roseland NYC Live”… superb in red and excellent sound!
This is the 25th anniversary, double vinyl.
Chip Wickham - Blue to Red, Lovemonk (2020)
Back to 2020 and another fine recording from fellow Brightonian Chip Wickham featuring the excellent Welsh Harpist Amanda Whiting.
This on vinyl is absolutely stunning.
I remember when Avid Records in Oxford upstairs had literally boxes full of the War Of The Worlds double album in pristine nick for no more than £5 each ! Alas, the store is long gone.
In the same store I picked up an original Eric Dolphy ‘Out To Lunch’ mono which was displayed on the wall for just over £10. Those were the days..
Just ordered from Juno
There are some labels in the 1960s such as CBS and Electra that you know will be well recorded
I think I need this one as well!
A couple of recent purchases from Rock On in Stamford. Funny when I cleaned them, instead of marks, smears and smelling of fags, the Stevie Nicks album had make up and glittery fingerprints on it!
Btw if anyone is in or near Stamford it is a great little shop. Owned by Ted Carroll who founded Ace Records and managed Thin Lizzy.
Apparently owns sheds full of records. He rotates them through every few weeks and all profits go to charities.
Usually a good selection. I’ve spent stacks there…
Not spent Stax then
