Same here. I have 3 boxes of CDs in the closet I should probably monetize some day.

Just made my first foray into Ella Records territory. Reached a point where I had about 7-8 records in my discogs cart, then gradually whittled it to just 1, but I'm hopeful it'll be a record I'll be happy to own. Many thanks to all the enablers out there.....

OHHHHH!!! I've wanted this for years.Here's one for you @MikeH ... I'll be interested to hear how this sounds when it comes out. Cut should be excellent as always. But the pressing information only says "Pressed in the USA"... that could mean anything and it's not necessarily good.

Was just listening to the new stereo Blue Train. Compared it to the MMJ mono pressing, and a 1977 King Record Co. Japan stereo pressing. Have to say I prefer the stereo mix, and after listening to the new stereo pressing, the mono sounds congested, like all the instruments are stacked within the limited soundstage, competing for space. The tone Poet stereo sounds terrific, and it's not hard-panned at all. Coltrane's sax is left of center, and from left to right, the sax, piano, bass and drums each are clear and the overall effect is one of balance and spaciousness. I wouldn't say it's a particularly wide sound stage, but there's plenty of room for everything. The Japan (stereo) pressing sounds very similar in terms of spacing, but the bass and especially piano are a bit lost in the mix by comparison. The MMJ mono pressing, despite what I've said about congestion, presents all players equally well. Also have to say that all three pressings have an immediacy that's impressive, like there's absolutely nothing between the listener and the music. I don't have the Tone Poet mono, so can't comment on that one.

Looks like Juno already has them in stock if anyone is eager, but I would expect them to show-up at more places in the next few days as the release date is this Friday.

Preordered from Amazon because if it really does drop Friday then I should have it early next week.

Fingers crossed the pressing is good! I'm sure KPG did his usual top notch work on his end.

Miles Davis - Sorcerer
This is a reference-standard reissue. You'll hear poetic lyricism pouring out of Wayne Shorter's horn, the breadth and definition of the notes spreading across an enormous soundstage. Never before have drummer Tony Williams' rim shots ricocheted with such purpose or his light percussive work...

Not sure on this specific one. I only have the VMP press of this. However, consensus has been most of the Miles Mofi titles are up there with some of the best pressings. I am only missing this and Bitches Brew. All have been fantastic.
edit: just noticed you were asking about Billy, lol.
