I have the 2x12” 45 rpm that They did a few years ago and this sounds identical. and it’s less than $30. Tip on sleeve. 180g too. I have this coming in the mail later this week and I'm pretty excited to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I didn't need the Nina Simone's or the Getz or Evans, but I bought them immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was VG and I cared more about flipping my money and getting $50 for it. Fast forward a couple months ago, had the opportunity to dig through a shop's dead stock that recently closed here. Found it again. It's a promo so I toyed with the idea of flipping it, but there's a scratch that causes a skip. Since I can't sell it, I'll keep it. This time it was only $3. I haven't heard a bad album on the Black Jazz label: I have the entire catalog except for Skipper at Home by Henry Franklin. I did get to meet him and have him sign my other record. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May need to check this. I will say I haven't been overly impressed with any repressings that I've compared to original or early pressings.

It is absolutely fantastic value for what you get as well. The dynamics are insane. Ballads is also great for the most part (my copy was a tad bit noisier than ALS). Hopefully the Nina titles will be equally fantastic, definitely looking forward to those. Also I finally started diving into the Tone Poet series thanks to the Target B2G1 sale. I have the 2 Herbie titles, Money Jungle, and It's Time. Anyone got recs?

Looks more unlikely since the price has jumped. One hole in my Black Jazz collection. I paid twenty or less for all my other titles. somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I got the ALS AAA myself yesterday, played it twice already. It was the best I've heard the album, I have not heard an original stereo but I have heard an original mono. I highly recommend anyone who enjoys this album to pick up a copy, not sure how many more times this is going to get cut from tape. bubb4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just listened to my stereo '65 record club pressing of A Love Supreme. I compared this to the newly received Kevin Gray pressing. The overall sound is close, but the '65 pressing is a bit more lively, especially the sounds of the percussion. I've noticed this with most recent pressings compared to originals. The new are slightly muted and less colorful. This is most apparent when comparing Blue Train. This one isn't as noticeable and is a perfectly good alternative if you can't track down a '65 pressing. If you already have the first, or I suspect most early pressings, you really don't need this one. Just one non-audiophile's opinion.

somethingvinyl Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 1st pressings of Blue Train just keep getting crazier and crazier. I wish I would have dropped the $500-800 it was going for 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My copy is only vg, but it's deep groove and sounds great. That is the cool thing about those old Blue Notes. zdkaiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at finished auctions, I guess it's easier to get a VG- one for a couple hundred. I never watch a copy because I know it will always sell for more than I want to pay.

zdkaiser Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Blue Note announced their Classics reissue series. It's a continuation of the BN80 series. Lots of heavy hitters in here. AAA mastering. Affordable prices. Best news for jazz vinyl reissues recently, imo. http://www.bluenote.com/classic-vinyl-reissue-series/ pepperonigin and MikePortly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I have almost all of them already through the AP Blue Note reissues from a few years ago. I love that all this stuff is getting high quality pressings for affordable prices. I'm still making my way through the Tone Poets and they are excellent value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, won't be tip on like the Tone Poets is my guess. But I've been getting really clean BN80s for $18 lately. Cant complain at that price for AAA from Optimal. Also glad they are redoing a lot of the titles from the crumby BN75 run with these new Classics reissues. timsimmons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'll have to remember to grab that Idle Moments next year, maybe one or two others. I hope they do more Tone Poets from Grant Green! zdkaiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) This leans more into funk/soul than jazz or blues, but overall this fella gets categorized as "jazz fusion" looks like. Found this record out at a household sale back before the whole covid thing and hadn't gotten around to listening to it until now. I'm finding it really enjoyable.
