All I remember is the amount of merch associated with this movie, lol
And while I'll give it up for Ferris being Mathews most memorable role, you should give Biloxi Blues a watch ;)

It’s was my birthday at the weekend and my girlfriend definitely spoiled me with jazz goodness.

Grant Green - Grants First Stand (Blue Note BN80 2019)
Freddie Hubbard - Open Sesame (Blue Note BN80 2019)
Even though I didn’t tell her specifically, these are the 2 I was most looking forward to!! Grant Green is a masterful guitar player, I have a copybook of ‘Grantstand’ that I regularly play so looking forward to spinning this one!

Verve: The Sound Of America
Very similar to the Blue Note Uncompromising Expression book, this focuses on the history of Verve with some fantastic photos included.

Open Sky: Sonny Rollins and his World of Improvisation- Eric Nisenson
Looks to be a great book, with a forward by Rollins himself where he states that Nisenson did a fantastic job of breaking down Rollins life story.

Coltrane: A Story Of Sound - Ben Ratliff
I’m a third of the way in so far and it’s a superb book. Ratliff focuses on the history of coltranes recording so over his personal life (although that does play a minor part in the book).

Plus I had a package arrive that I have been super super excited for.

John Coltrane - Blue Train (Blue Note 1957 Original Mono pressing)
This is a legendary album and Coltranes first and only recording for Blue Note. He has a stellar line up for this, with lee Morgan killing in on the trumpet. Coltrane actually wrote all 4 of the compositions as well.

I will post in “What’s Spinning” as soon as I get a chance to cut into it and play one. Originally it said colored vinyl and went out of stock for awhile. Last I looked it still had ref to colored vinyl but pic shows black. I’m just hoping for a solid live recording and quality pressing. Little Steven can lay it down.

Edit 1: Definitely multicolored vinyl. Each lp is unique.

Late entry into the Fresh Grab because I was just notified this arrived, making my crappy day a lot better. Found a copy of the 1963 tabloid that accompanied the sticker and album for the Beatles Press Kit. There was only one on eBay for $200 OBO..............a few days ago one popped up for $50 OBO, $30 later the set is complete. Beyond thrilled to have this intact. :)

For those of you that also have it:
1) what kind of outer sleeve do you plan to use? I have none that fit

2) is anyone else's copy like mine where the disc "sleeves" on the front /back of the book kind of stick out past the book? A bit annoying I think, not sure if it's a defect or all are like this.
