Just read about Linda's health issue not allowing her to sing anymore. Very sad indeed for a world class singer. Maybe things will change, we hope.

Asha Puthli "Asha Puthli" 1974 CBS Records LP, UK Pressing

A female vocalist and torch singer from Bombay somewhat akin to an Indian Maria Muldaur or Dusty Springfield

from Wikipedia:
Asha Puthli is an Indian-born singer-songwriter, producer and actress. Best recognized for her daredevil vocals on the "Science Fiction" album by jazz iconoclast Ornette Coleman, Asha Puthli has recorded ten solo albums for labels like EMI, CBS/Sony, and RCA. She is a 'world music' pioneer and an intrepid cosmopolite.[1]
Her recordings, which span styles like blues, pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, and techno, have been produced by the likes of Del Newman (who has produced Elton John and Cat Stevens), and Teo Macero (who has produced Miles Davis and Vernon Reid).

Feels Good To Me- Bill Bruford and some way good band mates. Recorded in 1977 when some highly original stuff was coming from the east coast and the UK.

Cover is water damaged so I keep it separate in plastic. Good Freddie session.

1978 Choice Records

Duet with Eddie Gomez. Joanne Brackeen is a terrific pianist, first women to play with the Jazz Messengers. Couldn't help but compare this to Eddie with Chick Corea, with some surprising similarities.

I have the stereo version of this (lower cover) tho I had the mono in high school. Caught Chris Conner once in Chicago and some nitwit in the audience shouted out, "Something Cool". From her reaction it was plain to see that this wasn't the first time someone had made that mistake. I love Chris Conner's classic "All About Ronnie". Best listened to when its cold outside, Miss Christy's voice will warm you from the inside out.

1964 Blue Note

This is a '85 reissue pressed by EMI France - DMM (direct metal mastering) using the original master tape. Here's one with a bar code on the back that sounds great and the record is as good as it looks.

What did you get yourself, Trung? Don't be shy. It's all good. Not a bad album to start with either. Do we need to talk tonearm pivot to phono stylus length, newbie brother?

TrungT · « **Reply #6857 on:** 12 Sep 2013, 02:51 am »

Jim.
I'm good, had a local friend stop by with all little tools, scale and double check everything for me.
Just a temporary setup though.
Need to get the LP clean to get better sound though.

A tacky cover with great music. There is an alternate version of that cover that was later released. An improvement?

Three Quartets is also excellent.
