My box arrived today, double boxed with the set in the original shipping box with styrofoam inserts. Label says Optimal Media GmbH 15 LP project Lawrence TBC 83-92, dated 8/29/2018. Reminds me of the old days of laserdisc box sets arriving in the mail!!
I just ordered this one at $14.99: Looks to be this pressing Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan Scott Yanow, AMG: "Pianist Hasaan Ibn Ali only made one recording in his life, this trio set with drummer Max Roach and bassist Art Davis. A very advanced player whose style fell somewhere between Thelonious Monk and Cecil Taylor (with hints of Herbie Nichols), Hasaan actually had a rather original sound. His performances on his seven originals here are intense, somewhat virtuosic and rhythmic, yet often melodic in a quirky way. This is a classic of its kind, and it's a tragedy that Hasaan would not record again and would soon sink back into obscurity."
According to Discogs, that's a Kevin Gray cut: The Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan* - The Max Roach Trio Featuring The Legendary Hasaan
Yes, which bodes well for it! I'm not familiar with the music, but it sounds like something I will like. Here's a reader review from AMG: "Max Roach and Art Blakey are fast becoming my new Jazz idols. The amount of talent they nurtured is insane. This, for example. Max Roach must have been one hell of a guy. This is a literal lost masterpiece. Except, I suspect, to the 5 people who bought it when it came out. An outstanding album. This guy is just incredible. He reminds me of Herbie Nichols crossed with Cecil Taylor and Monk, with just a soupçon of Art Tatum blended in, with a little extra caffeine. Also, Bud Powell stopped by, he wants the 11:30 slot."
Another Chris Bellman masterpiece...only $15.89 $2.08 less than I paid for my pre order 2 years ago. https://smile.amazon.com/Hitchhiker...8&qid=1549566774&sr=8-1&keywords=093624912613
And from Vic Anesini...only $12.69 ?!?!?!?!?!? https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B019QSZ4OS?ref=em_1p_0_ti&ref_=pe_2313400_393388460 I know what this is, this is Amazon's response to Collector's Choice selling their copy for slightly more recently.
Damn, I should have checked this thread yesterday. Back up to $28. I’m listening on Spotify now, and this is some really good stuff!
The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society deluxe has slipped back down. $99.83 as of this morning.
Be careful. I bought this the last time that Amazon had it on sale. The first copy I received was open (no shrink) and the contents spilled out all over the place. Plus, it was missing some of the contents. Amazon took care of it, thankfully.
More of that sunny California wit. From the land where the sun always shines and the skunk weed flows freely. Meanwhile it's 2 degrees up here again in Ohio
I just received my copy and it is the Vinyl Me, Please exclusive edition. It is a very nice package and numbered 68 of 1,000.
