My RSD 2020 Drop #2. Just Jazz including late in-store arrivals from Round #1 which suits just fine as I finally got the Monk at retail price and Chet Baker to replace VMP’s noisy pressing
I do agree those parts in Bob James are jarring, unfortunately.
I also understand what you mean about Charlie Parker. Music first, sound second. It’s just that i have been spoiled by good sound and music; so when the sonics disappoints, it annoys me
Good to hear. I look forward to both my Gene Russell and Ron Carter which are both en route. Ron Carter has arrived at the airport, just havent got to me yet

RSD started in Singapore. Got these from my local. 5 pax in the shop at a time and 20 mins of shopping time. The Mistysa record was thrown in for free - not familiar with that one

I would suggest you really reconsider. Go find a good one. Not all are. I live in Singapore and I have found a very very good forwarding service. They only send to Singapore though. Cost of shipping..... hear this: about $4 per record on average from the US to Singapore regardless of...
Interesting but i dont really know how to do this. I followed the method but was never taken to any shopify link but instead to VMP Store. When i added to cart, it remained within VMP’s website and the only way to change the quantity is to press the + sign repeatedly but even then restricted to 2
