So Pman can't tell from the pic, is that an original 3-D cover ? Quite the find if so. Had one originally, then traded it in, and had to settle for the 2-D when I replaced it. Keep on "dancing on a sea of air" .

I just received a copy of the Smashing Pumpkins Melloncollie from my wonderful wife for our anniversary. The packaging is phenomenal. I wonderful booklet illustrated with sketches and Corgan write-ups for each track. Another booklet includes the lyrics for each track. I was worried however due to the negative reviews on Amazon.com concerning the mastering and particularly the song "Zero" (last track side a disc 1) which has been noted to become incredibly distorted towards the end. Several reviewers noted how the inner groves are much closer to the label than many discs and this might be the cause of such a problem. Regardless of what the cause, my copy also had the same problem. To compound my disappointment the mastering was incredibly hot and not very dynamic. Corgans voice in particular was at times hard to listen to. For $90 this one is going back.

Has anyone had a better experience? I'd love to get a good copy if they are out there to be had.

Jawaka,

That's quite the listening session. Did you pull an all-nighter?

David Bromberg Band "Reckless Abandon" 1977 Fantasy Records LP

jawaka · « **Reply #6255 on:** 17 Mar 2013, 08:21 pm »

Hi roscoeiii,
Those 3rd's are great.
It's my favorite Big star album.
The one on the left is on 4men with beards, and contains "Big black car" and "You can't have me" which the one on the right does not. That one contains "Downs"and "whole lotta shakin".
It's the test pressing edition bought at a previous record store day.
If you want to have all 4 songs you've got to buy the CD.

Acutally suspected it was due to the lighting spots/reflections and somewhat indistinct image, but hate to make assumptions. I'm usually wrong.

Red Garland Quintet - another Prestige 2-fer (sorry about the bad pic -having trouble with glare)

Red - piano
Trane - tenor
Donald Byrd - trumpet
Art Taylor - drums
George Joyner - bass

Both records are from a '57 session, originally issued as Soul Junction and The Red Garland Quintet.

It's a pleasure listening to these consummate musicians. The feel is effortless and natural. It's hard to play slow and make it sound good, and it was like second nature here. Red was a great piano player - played in early Miles bands. He would play block chords like George Shearing, but would leave out the bottom note for the bass player. That style of playing was later copied all over the place. Bill Evans played like that with Scott Lafaro on the legendary Village Vanguard sessions, also a Prestige 2-fer. Bill was much more introspective though. Red sometimes played lightning fast runs and the guys are some of the greatest musicians who ever lived. Here's a 9 min tease of a 16 min cut:
