Allen Toussaint - Toussaint (2016 Scepter Records LP Reissue)

I must have missed this last year. Has anyone heard it? Originals are pricey.

Allen Toussaint - Toussaint

 

Sunday night bump for this one. Would really like to know.

 

Havent heard this edition but I can tell you the album is essential. One side of funky instrumentals and one of wall-to-wall classics.

 

Oh, I absolutely love the record. So much that I've been looking for a vinyl copy for years but they fetch a lot. Interested to hear if this reissue was done well.

 

bump

 

came across what may be this on amazon yesterday from a 3rd party seller for around $20. figured it was too good to be true or mislabeled. need to chill on record purchases for a few weeks but ill def give this a shot.

Please report back! Can't wait to hear if it's worth it.

 

Also curious about this one. Is it a legit release?

 

Seems to be. Will have to wait for @Batman21 to report back

 

alright! finally pulled the trigger on this. first, the fact that this album isnt widely available on vinyl is a shame. so damn good. ive practically given up on used new orleans stuff in decent shape for fair prices. glad i came across this.

looks like a legit release to me. cover pic is clear and glossy. came sealed. record was VERY dirty though. i dont think its 180g but its heavier than a standard record. also came with a major dent right at the beginning of 'sweet touch of love.' im not the most picky dude when it comes to defects but this is a for real mark, like it was dropped. SHOCKINGLY, it plays clear through that spot on my system. not a pop. still, for $25 shipped it should be in better shape - its going back. but not before I gave it a listen all the way through

great instrument separation and pretty wide soundstage. sounds real clear to me at a high volume. a little on the bright side but that cld be my 2m red. i dont hear much surface noise, but it's there. especially side two and in-between tracks. im 99% sure it's because of the dirt and a some time in the spin clean wld clear that up. im not one that gets too deep into the analog vs digital sourcing argument and while this is mostly likely cut from digital, it does not have that "CD" type sound that some newer vinyl remasters have.

 

Thanks for the review

 

Anyone else get a chance to hear this?
@Batman21 did you purchase from Amazon?

 

On amazon thru 3rd party. And the replacememt they sent me is perfect.

 

Seeing some more of these pop up. Any other reviews?

 

Holy ****! I had no idea originals went for so much cash. $150 for an original US pressing?! I got mine for $15 about ten years ago. And I would NEVER sell it -- arguably the most essential Toussaint LP of them all!

 

Jesus. How did you find an original for 15?!?!
It's an unbelievable record (So is Life Love and Faith and Southern Nights) and yes, originals are absurd.

 

I just picked this up. It is without a doubt the noisiest new record I own.
Wow! Filthy, then cleaned with a VPI....didn't help much. Unacceptable.

 

Thanks for the review. Glad I held off

 

That sucks. I had mine on twice last week and love it.
