Help! I keep buying vinyl!!!

[frenchmon]

Ok this is the last one and then im done...

That John McLaughlin and The Mahavishnu Orchestra is some heavy stuff. Jan Hammer and Billy Cobham on the same recording is scary good. I think those where the years when John was into his Indian spiritual stuff.

Hey Pops hey noob...heres a little heads up for you two....I got word that a album by Paul Desmond was being re-issued again on vinyl after being out of circulation for a while. You can always find it on CD but not on vinyl. So I ordered it about 2 months ago and I had to wait till they got pressed and shipped over to cduniverse. Its a limited pressing and supply. And its only $18 not including shipping, and its 180 gram virgin vinyl. I got my copy yesterday. The album is "First Place Again" and he has Jim Hall with him as always and he has the second half of the "Modern Jazz Quartet" with him as well..that being Percy Heath and Connie Kay. so if you can spare the loot, go ahead a grab a copy while they still have them....cduniverse.com http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.as...le=music&rmf=P

Is this where, as a mod, I tell you no double posting? lol. That album looks fantastic. Next record show I plan to search for Desmond Lps. I am good for vinyl for a while. I have some gear considerations now...

Any of you folks ever have someone who you're so hooked on that you'd get this much of her stuff?



shhh...don't tell Mrs. Noob.

When you're buying VHS tapes, you know it's the real thing.

[02audionoob]

I bought that VHS tape back when it was current technology.

[poppachubby]

Guys these are all fantastic. Fidelity wise the "Incantation" LP is off the charts. It's traditional S.American music featuring heavy guitar and pan flute. Gorgeous sound. The top one in the first pic is Peter Tosh. The Segovia is a Decca Gold Label in excellent condition. It tracks really, really nicely. Any of you guys have experience with gold label?

My wife and I both love the "Talking Heads". Great lyrics!

The copy I got is really clean, sounds great. Super nice production on that.

I stopped by and did a little record shopping on the way home from work, today. For the princely sum of $12.99, including tax, I took home this batch of classical that all went to the clearance bin yesterday, according to the date on the tags. That one front and center, Karen Bella, is the exception...not classical. I bought it on a whim because it's local to Dallas.

[poppachubby]

noob, how do you select your claasical? Are you familiar with the music, or do you just go with composer.

[02audionoob]

It's a bit of both. With this batch, there were 15 total records. They were all from the big name composers and noteworthy works by those composers, so I took 11 of them. I left behind the Domingo and Caruso performances, as well as a Mendelssohn and something else I don't remember.

I will often take a chance on composers I don't know as well if the perormance features a well-known musician I know I like. I discovered I like Haydn because of taking a chance on a Wynton Marsalis record and Elgar because I found a Jacqueline Du Pre record.

I do like to have the most famous works of all time, even multiple performances of them. I don't have a great many of those cases, but certainly several among Beethoven, Mozart, Mahler and a handful of others in the top tier. I also sometimes like to explore a composer's influences or proteges. With all those considerations, it's about like my approach to jazz. One day I'm listening to Brubeck and then suddenly I realize I've "discovered" Desmond.

[tube fan]

Getz also made dozens of great vinyl records.

[02audionoob]

The best of today's clearance-bin digging:





Or maybe this one is the winner. It's Ray Brown, Joe Sample and Shelley Manne...

[tube fan]

I have the three vinyl, but not the "rocking the filmore". This is simply a GREAT thread!!!

[poppachubby]

Nice grab noob, you probably recall I scored that Humble Pie in NM condition. Personally I love that LP, and I am partial to the entire Filmore E/W series.

As for The Three, with Ray Brown in the line up, you're guaranteed a good LP. Have you listened yet? Is it a good candidate for a rip?

Glad you like it. There's only a few of us who keep it afloat, so please join us, by all means. If you read page 1, you'll see it was actually audionoob who suggested we use it to display our vinyl pick ups.

I like it pretty well. Recording to WAV right now.

Check out pages 6 and 7 in this thread...and post 'em if you got 'em.

[poppachubby]

Well guys, I dropped $50 at a shop on the other side of town. Turns out they have a great jazz selection. I really dug. I even did some crate diving. After an hour I came out with these.

Sorry about the bad pic. The top two are Red Rodney, I picked them for the supporting cast including Ray Brown, Philly Jones, Elvin Jones, Shelly Manne, Tommy Flanagan and others.

The Perlman/Previn have the same line up on both LPs, bought for Jim Hall's appearance. Also on those is Shelly Manne and Red Mitchell.





These are all pretty self explanatory. I took a roll with the Al Cohn, but with Herb Ellis accompanying, I can't see how it won't be great.




BTW frenchie, they had a couple of Mose Allison LPs. A beautiful NM double LP on Prestige simply titled Allison. Have you heard that one? They wanted $30.

My next trip back I'll be picking up JJ JOhnson and Kai Winding, they had it half off so I put it on hold. Only $12. That's a classic...

[frenchmon]

Good score. Did you know for a time touring the south, Red Rodney was past off and featured as Albino Red in Parkers band? He was the only white man in Charlie Parker band...and in the south, they would not like a white man in a black band so they had to feature him as Albino Red.

I dont recall ever listening to that one. But Mose is truly a living legend. He has his own style and no one, I mean no one can sound like him. He has written hundreds of tunes and has a very large following across the musical spectrum, and has influenced many including the great Jimmy Hendrix....and hundreds of musicians have recorded his music, and he has played with many Jazz and blues stars. Stan Getz is one such giant that comes to mind. The man was simply born to write and play his style of music.

I dont know Kai Winding. Let me know what you think.

[poppachubby]

Made some pick ups today. All original, all near mint. I put on hold another JJ and Kai put out on Bethlehem Records. It's a beautiful cover.

[frenchmon]
