Fresh Grabs

[Selaws]

Love this record. Art Blakey also seems to have some of the most gangsta ass pictures on his album covers as well.

I always forget, is "white b" considered to be a better press than "black b" ?

I think it depends on the record. Some Black B records have Van Gelder stamps while some don’t while their White B counterparts do.

At least this is what I’ve gathered looking at a handful, not 100% on this theory.

Im late to the party on this one, but I do know that the white B was introduced in the mid 70's and used interchangeably with the black without any logic to it. The black B was used slightly prior to this as well. As @johnpisme said, the Van Gelder stamp is the main thing to look for, quality wise, in the later pressings/reissues. I cant quite remember where I picked this all up, but I agree, the London Jazz Collector is a fantastic resource and has pages dedicated to Blue Note labels etc.

Some recent pick ups

Two deliveries today.
Top one is OCS (Acoustic Oh Sees, sort of) - Live in San Francisco.
Forgot to cancel my $10 Wu-Tang purchase from Amazon.
So might as well see what the “meh” pressing is all about.

And I came home to a surprise gift that @Murfocakes would be quite proud of.

Someone obviously cares a lot for such a kingly gift. Congratulations. Don’t throw out all your other records now that you have the only one you really need as tempting as that might be.

This month’s big payday splash. I just went looking for Shorter’s Super Nova but the seller had tons of great stuff and after a bit of negotiation, accepted my bulk offer that I’m very happy with. Except for Moanin’ which is missing the obi, all are in absolute NM, almost archival condition.

Not as fancy as some of your grabs, but can’t wait to spin this one nonetheless :

Superb, waiting on mine too.

Local find in the bargain crate.
The track by the Novas is my favorite!

I have this one. Such a random re-release!

Yeah it was but I wasn’t complaining because the 2012 anniversary one was before I started collecting!

I’ve been eyeing it since I saw you post your one and finally found one online for a fair price!

When did this come out.

And where can I get one

When did this come out.

And where can I get one

In America last year. I’ve been hunting a while for one. I ended up getting it off eBay new from all your music (or one of their many sister companies) for about €33 delivered.

New Ill Considered. Stuck to my local shop this time as I still don’t have great pressings of the last few that I got through bandcamp and it was becoming difficult to keep emailing back and forth about replacements.
