It's BROWNSWOOD BASEMENT WITH GILLES PETERSON on 9.6.20 if it isn't taking you straight to that (it works on my phone at least)
I will preorder a record from an artist I really love and sometimes take a punt on something like this, but since I'm trying to reel it in, I'll hold off on this one. Nothing grabbed me quickly enough in the samples to want this immediately.

Concord pressings are usually pretty good IIRC. But the pricing on this just seems steep...if you don't mind black vs color variant, I'd probably look elsewhere for a repress.Anyone happen to know any pressing information on this one? Or other recommended pressings?
Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins Exclusive LP
A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing. Thelonious Monk’s years as a Prestige recording artist (1952-1954) were tough times for the legendary composer/pianist. Unable to work in New York clubs due to the unjust loss of his cabaret card, and misunderstood when not ignored by listeners as...
I wanna pick it up...I really wanna pick it...but Newbury.
Interesting...emailed RT about this and they told me:I get lost between the variants but I just had shipping for the one I ordered ping through today as a heads up. Was from Rough Trade (UK).

Yea I'm kind of on that train at this point too. I scoffed at the price when it first became available at that price but then sold a bunch of records and went to buy it and it was gone! It looks awesome and I'm glad that they sold it out.
Similar thing happened to me. I was waiting for a bulk buy to cut down on the number of packages to be shipped (and price) and when I finally sold enough records to justify such a big spend a couple of the ones I wanted were sold out. I saw a lot of people kick off about the price of Byrd Jazz on a few forums but I personally think that the amount of detail makes it worthwhile, the screen-printed covers add an artistic element to it as well. At this point I would jump at the chance to get a copy, although its looking to be very, very unlikely.
I know that for the price, you'll get the quality expected with Sam Records. Curious to see what they cook up next! It seems that this one was successful so hoping they do another one in the series and it's a title I like!

Got Coral Keys from here a few days ago. Shocked it’s taking so long to sell out at 100 copies!The Black Jazz reissues are up over at Real Gone! Including the clear black smoke variants which are limited to 100 each!

Coral Keys, Hear, Sense and Feel and Spirit of the New Land are out for now. Came out to around $75 shipped for all three limited variants to the US.
I had thought that RGM said that it wasn't up for sale until August 27th so I didn't even think to check. I ended up grabbing all 3 of the albums in the limited pressing. Emailed VMP last night to cancel my preorder and they already sent the PayPal refund through and responded to me which was a welcome surprise. I'm really surprised it's not sold out either. The OGs of these go for crazy money most of the time.
