Chet Baker Quintette on United-Superior Records. Nice, but it has this strange repeating whistle at the very end of each side - right by the label. A warning that it is time to get off your butt and change the record. Nasty.

raising sand. one of my daughters came over last evening who has an eclectic taste in music so i put it on and she has already heard a couple of tunes on the radio and she enjoyed it quite a bit.

a couple of days ago i scored a mofi-don sembesky-three works for jazz soloists and symphony orchestra. nice music well played and recorded. one of the words that came to mind is 'crisp', in the good sense. clear with good transients and tight lows. crisp is one of the favorite words of those describing CD sound. so much for the stereotype of soft and warm of vinyl sound.

when i play records that have that sound, my vinyl playback rig responds that way nicely. raising sand ferinstance is mixed on the bassy side. it makes me think that the mixing monitors were bass shy and they compensated for that.

also, pure desmond and ralph towner 'solstice-sound and light'.

most of these came from atomic records in burbank california where the prices and quality are very good. its just one of the many stores we are fortunate to hvae here in LALA land.

ECM Touchstones: Gateway
John Abercrombie with Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette

The best sound quality I've experienced since I returned to vinyl. Makes me yearn for a better cart. I really like the watercolor on the cover. It might not be for everybody but I like the free jazzy rock bop.

10" Nick Cave sinlgle i found in a used bin at the local store. Not my favorite song but Nick on vinyl in te usa is a rare bird indead. My other find and i kid you not was an lp on hot pink vinyl from a group called Sister Mary Rotten Crotch. Great riot girl punk

Probably his best record to date. Amazing on vinyl.

Produced by Robbie Robertson around the time of the Band's "Stage Fright". A superior collection of songs in low-fi.

The Band

I picked up a copy this weekend, opened but still with the shrink wrap so the cover should be pristine. Will investigate the dead wax and listen to it. I have my original copy as well as a Dutch pressing. Can't have too many of this one!

Songs of Love and Hate

Very good quality reissue, If your copy's worn out it's worth the money to pick this up. He sound's so young on this. I had not realized it, I had only ever heard the cd. This is a much better presentation.
