lexicondevil Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah, I have some originals pressings of these titles and they sound great. I think I'm over the two record 45 rpm thing. I have Goin' Up by Freddie Hubbard and it does sound amazing, but I would rather it was at 33 1/3. I think that is why they are re-doing these on one disc now.

SE7EN Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 A quick thanks to everyone contributing to this thread - has been really useful for someone just getting into Jazz (or at least attempting to!). Just received the latest Snarky Puppy release 'Sylva'... Really enjoying it so far.Hope to be a bit more active once I start purchasing more... So far my Jazz collection only stretches to a few records, although I am trying to get access to my dad's vinyl - he was big into Jazz back in the 60s/70s. Cheers guys.

If you can dig in your dad's collection try and snag records on the Blue Note label. It is really the most solid label I have ever come across. Most records are good to great. Also look for Prestige and Impulse. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickcritter Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Recently picked up a couple more Analogue Productions Prestige reissues. Between these and the Music Matters Blue Note reissues, they are a little costly but are entirely worth it. I'll slowly be picking up more from their Prestige Mono series. They are starting a Prestige Stereo series as well with 25 more titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen Blue Note coming up a lot whilst browsing around online, so I'll keep my eyes open as and when I get into the attic at my parent's place Got a couple of Coltrane re-presses (Blue Note and Impulse!)... Gotta start with the classics, right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Went to the new location of Lagniappe Records in Lafayette, LA this weekend. Picked up this masterpiece for a whopping $30ish. It's so good. The Latin influence, especially flute, is not my favorite. But it grooves in parts (see youtube below). It's mono too which is very nice. dickcritter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 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!! http://www.samrecords.fr/ 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. dickcritter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Sam Records sounds like the Music Matters of France, very cool. I've enjoyed every release from my Music Matters subscription, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know other labels around the world are taking the same care with the remasters. Plus, you don't have to pay exorbitant shipping prices.

bannedinjapan Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 My more recent jazz purchases. Sort of all over the place style-wise, but they're all great! I think I'm going to be picking up a few more Music Matters releases soon as well. Nice. That Bill Evans record is classic and the Sonny Sharrock is quite the trip and certainly worth it too. Ah, so cool - didn't know that 4MWB release of Sharrock was out! I gotta look into it. I've been really digging "Ask The Ages" lately - it's so incredible. Not available on vinyl, though. But it's killer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiDR87-HRhA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Anyone have a pre-order in for the MoFi Kind of Blue? 2 LPs at 45rpm. Kinda want to order one from Music Direct, but I already have 3 different copies. I really do enjoy MoFis work though and it's Kind of Blue, so...

lexicondevil Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm currently going through my buddy's large collection of psych and prog to sell for him and I'm coming across some jazz to keep for myself. Picked out this groovin' Euro jazz record on MPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futre Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 This just came in (quote from jazzhouserecords.uk): Worst news; I've had confirmation of the rumour that's been circulating for while- there will be no Music Matters Blue Note issues after the December issues.

dickcritter Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Any word on why? I heard people saying it has to do with pressing issues on the 33's in the series. I haven't had any issues with any of the ones I've picked up, but it sounds like some people on the stevehoffman forums have had issues with their copies having non-fill.
