I made a new playlist for my blog (dedicated to 78 rpm records). This time the playlist is devoted to Belgian artists. You can expext gipsy jazz, swing, dixie, big band, musette,...
 
I guess the most famous artists in the playlist are Django Reinhardt, and Toots Thielemans.
 
Check it out here, if you want to.

Just got these very good sounding Chet Baker lp's.
 
They're on a French reissue label, Sam Records. Sam Records only uses the original mastertapes for remastering. For the artwork, they only use the original photography, drawings,...
 
They're not that cheap at about $34 a piece, but totally worth it!!

About Sam Records Sam Records is an independent, one-man record label based in Paris, France and founded in 2011 by Fred Thomas. This label is devoted to reissuing jazz records recorded and produced in France during the 50’s and 60’s.   My two great interests are jazz music and photography. In 2006 i got to know the American musician Nathan Davis personally and made a decision : I would re-release a recording by Davis from 1965 in the best possible quality available. The search for the copyright owner of the cover photo led me to Jean-Pierre Leloir, a legendary photographer who had captured on film what went on music-wise in Paris over many years. I was to be able to find who had the master tape, then have an agreement with the owner and then produced my very first LP reissue.   Five years later, i decided to found Sam Records. I didn’t know the music industry, but it was clear for me to try to do the best reissues possible – find the master tapes and the (original) photography.   While so many labels confine themselves to re-mastering digital versions (read: CDs) and reproducing the original artwork by simply scanning the cover, Sam Records uses only master tapes and re-creates record covers using the original photographs, paintings and/or drawings. That generally involves some painstaking detective work, so it’s a job for conscientious professionals, not corner-cutting amateurs.    Re-mastered from the original master tapes. Limited édition 180 gr vinyl pressed by Pallas in Germany. Facsimile reissue using the original photo (if still available). Double insert using an original photo by JP Leloir.  
Each record has been visually checked to prevent defects.

Very happy with the Bobby Jaspar boxset I got in the mail today. It's a Spanish issue from 1988. Contains 3 lp's and a 7".
Bobby Jaspar is one of the most famous Belgian jazz musicians ever. Played with Miles Davis and the likes...
 

 

 

 

Scored bigtime yesterday at a garage sale. All records were $2!

My most current setup:
 

Ever since I saw the Simpsons Movie, each time I see the beginning of a 20th Century Fox movie, I hear Ralph Wiggum in my head. Some things just can't be unheard.

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up about a 150 78s, all jazz. After weeks of listening, sorting and shifting (got rid of about 60 records that weren't my cup of tea), I made some new recordings.
 
So, lots of new stuff @ http://bluesandjazz78s.wordpress.com and http://www.mixcloud.com/Bluesandjazz78s: Jay McShann’s Trio, Sister Ernestine B. Washington, Sidney Bechet And His Blue Note Jazzmen, Lionel Hampton And His Orchestra, Wingy Manone And His Orchestra, Johnny Dodds Black Bottom Stompers,...
 
More cool stuff coming up, probably next week or so (or when I find the time): Thelonious Monk, Art Pepper, Stan Getz,...

Don't know if it's really a spoiler, as it's about the music used in this episode, but:
 

This is really really good! Thanx for the tip!
 
 
 
Nice!

Is this a philosophical question like in "who are we, where are we going, what is it all about?". I don't understand what this has to do with 78 rpm records.

Anyone into collecting these?
 
I just recently got curious and fascinated by them, since I picked up some cool ones: 3 Django Reinhardt's and 2 Sidney Bechets. I'm awaiting 2 Big Bill Broonzy's now.
 
I want a collection of Blues 78 rpm's like the ones Joe Bussard or John Tefteller have. So please donate money to help me accomplish my dream :-)
 
 

So I made a blog where I'll be posting recordings from blues and jazz 78s that are in my collection, just for the fun of it.
 
If anyone's interested: http://bluesandjazz78s.wordpress.com/

Picked up a Yamaha YP-6D yesterday at a thriftstore. It has a nice Pickering cartridge. Heavy table that is spinning wonderfully. Only $34.
 

 

 

 

Picked up Coltrane's A Love Supreme today. Also so some Ellington, Armstrong and Joe Turner 78s.

I forgot to mention the great Placebo, fantastic Belgian 70s funky fusion jazz. Especially Ball Of Eyes is a classic record!
