Haha! At this point, it's shocking to find anything, especially if it's mentioned in this thread, that isn't mastered by Boom Boom!

Oh boy! Curious to hear your thoughts on it! I really like the sound on mine. I got it from Canada for something like $80 shipped. It’s not perfect shape but still solid. The sleeve was a little dented/bent on the corner.

Damien Rice fans... you can pick up O and ...Faded Fantasy here:
www.banquetrecords.com
I think these are pretty hard to track down for a reasonable price these days.
I have O and it sounds great. Pressing has a few clicks but mastering is awesome.
EDIT: of course the mastering is awesome “KPG@CA”

Must have been a restock or something lately. I grabbed O on Amazon a month or two ago.Damien Rice fans... you can pick up O and ...Faded Fantasy here:

Coltrane & Hartman. Finally. That’s exciting as hell.
This is an awesome set of titles

This!!! I'd much prefer a great release the full "Complete" Village Vanguard set, but this will do for now. Obviously, Coltrane is a force of nature on "Chasin' the Trane," but I often focus on Elvin Jones, an absolute driving rhythmic beast.
I love this "review" of this group (from in Wikipedia), summarizing as a negative what made this group so incredible: In reaction to the Quintet's residency at the Village Vanguard in New York City starting in late October 1961, Down Beat critic John Tynan described the group as "musical nonsense being peddled in the name of jazz" and "a horrifying demonstration of what appears to be a growing anti-jazz trend."
Great list. I already have Mingus 'Black Saint' and Ella "Swingin Christmas' and 'Ella & Louis' but the quality of these releases so far is going to make it real hard not to double dip.

That complete ‘61 Vanguard set literally changed my life. I first heard it as a teenager who primarily listened to punk, and I was like - THIS IS PUNK!

Gotta say it seems Bellman does all the great remasters of the stuff from this era that I like. Far more by Bellers than by big Kev on my shelves!
