Thank you for maintaining that list! I always assume that everyone is reading all of the posts on various forums, and that usually turns out to not be the case. In case you don't know, the 2020 SRX releases other than Blue Train and Moanin' have not come into stock yet. It sounds like MMJ...

I uploaded some clips of Blue Train MMJ and SRX in this post.

It looks like the Moanin' SRX is out of stock.

Why? What are you hearing?

I did needle drops of the MMJ Blue Train and MMJ Blue Train SRX. Here are some short clips. Signal chain was Thorens TD-125 mk ii --> Dynavector 17d3 --> Don Sachs tube phono section Blue Train - One Pressing FLAC Blue Train - The Other Pressing FLAC I'm Old Fashioned - One Pressing FLAC I'm...

Glad we finally solved the mystery!

I think this is what you're talking about? If so, it's a minor 6th interval (the 3rd and the 5th of the d minor triad):

We must be talking about different parts. I'm talking about just a single note being repeated. Can you post a link with a specific timestamp?

If we are talking about the same part, he's doing something Chuck Berry used to do all of the time: playing a note on the G string (in this case, it's an A on the 14th fret of the G string) and then playing the same note right after on the B string (10th fret). That allows the player to slide up...

I grabbed Sunday Mornin' and it sounds just like a Tone Poet. No gatefold, but a nice tip-on jacket.

Got mine today. Everything looks flawless. Interesting that they have settled into a consistent brand for typesetting the box spine, but the color bars with the catalog numbers are radically different. The Stax box is also taller, which seemed odd. I wish they had put the finger snap logo in the...

Am I the only one that loved the Syreeta album?

John Dark, the moderator of the MMJ Facebook group has confirmed they have two separate initiatives that will be launched this year. Other than that, however, he has been tight-lipped!

Hasn't happened yet.

s Sure. I know lots of folks have a big problem with their pricing. The point I was trying to make was that the idea of future MMJ releases being priced anywhere near a Tone Poet price (which was the question I was responding to with the post) is simply not possible. Even if Ron had the will...

I think that's pretty standard with these types of things. Some people have damaged sleeves but the record is fine, so they get just a replacement sleeve. I've had replacement sleeves only and discs only from the Motown Anthology.

I feel mostly the same way. Storf seems a little too close to the whole thing. I wonder if it's such a passion of his that nobody really feels like they can give him helpful feedback for how to make it as good as it can be. There were basic grammar errors in his script. Someone should have...

One thing to keep in mind is that Joe Harley has stated that the raw vinyl puck for the SRX records costs $8 more than the standard formulation. I'm not sure if RTI charges more to press those records. Another big factor is the licensing fee MMJ has to pay to Blue Note, which Blue Note...

I thought it was strange that those were printed with the photo on the matte side and the text on the glossy side. It made the liner notes razor-sharp, and the photos kind of muddled-looking.

What do they need to replace for you?
