Fresh Grabs

It was my 30th birthday in the week and in the lead-up to it I sold a load of records that I no longer listen to and pooled the money into getting some heavy-hitting British jazz this week, getting really lucky for the most part with some fantastic deals.

The Joe Harriott Quintet - Abstract (Columbia, 1963 First Mono Pressing)
Paul Gonsalves And Tubby Hayes - Just Friends (Columbia, 1965 First Mono Pressing)
The New Don Rendell Quintet - Roarin’ (Jazzland, 1961 First Pressing)
Henry Lowther Band – Child Song (Deram, 1970 First Pressing)
Michael Garrick Band - Home Stretch Blues (Argo, 1972 First Signed Pressing)
PAZ - BBC Broadcast 1975 (Acetate, 1975 Pressing)
Joe Harriott Jazz Quartet – Cool Jazz With Joe (Melodisc, 1960 First 7” Pressing)
Shake Keane Quintet - In My Condition (Columbia, 1962 First 7" Pressing)

A great bunch of British jazz which I have been on the lookout for quite a while. The PAZ is pretty cool as it's an unissued acetate and I have since chatted to Jazz In Britain about it. They asked for a needle drop if possible to be included in their upcoming PAZ box set. The real creme of the bunch is Michael Garrick's 'Home Stretch Blues', which is signed by the whole group. Plenty of great listening upcoming!!

Just watched Concert for George again the other night. Such a beautiful tribute both the Indian and rock sections. And always nice to see a Klaus Voorman cameo as well. So many good performances, Billy Preston stands out for me.

Happy birthday!
 
Fun mail day. Happy to finally have a few of these added to the collection. The Buckingham Nicks was a pick up from The 'In' Grooves Whatnot.com auction. Thankfully I got for a decent price.

That guys auctions are nutty with how far over market value people are bidding on things. I kid you not, someone paid $500 for a copy of DOSTM 30th. There were several MoFi's and AP's that also went for like double the discogs buy now prices. Mike is either a brilliant salesman or there are a lot of new vinyl collectors on those auctions that are getting taken for a ride.

This has got to be the cleanest copy I've run into. It looks like its never been played or handled.

Just a few recent pickups, but I’m most excited for this one….a sealed OG copy of The Beach Boys Love You. I really have a soft spot for this record, quirks and all

if there's one Killing Joke album to start with, that's it, although TBH there isn't a bad one IMO.

edit: the 2003 self-titled with the yellow skull cover is also a solid starting place, as is the singles collection. also if you are even slightly inclined, check out literally any clip of jaz coleman being interviewed or speaking. absolutely the most erudite and well-learned/well-spoken person in modern rock. completely 100% crazy, but so, so interesting.

Honestly, I’ve tried getting into post-Pet Sounds records, and I just can’t. Surf’s Up, Holland, they all escape me. But for some reason, Love You is very charming.

Yeah, personally I prefer post-Pet Sounds album to pre-Pet Sounds. Brian is what made The Beach Boys all time greats but I think him stepping back as he battled his mental health issues allowed Carl, Mike, Al, Bruce and eventually Dennis to step up to the plate and figure out how to be a band. I think that period would have been better thought of had Mike Love not steered them into an oldies act on the touring front. Kids in the 70s associated them with their parents more as a surf rock nostalgia act which allowed them to ignore some really interesting new albums.
