I wasn't really sure where to share this but seeing that the most recent guest is Nubya Garcia, this seems as good a place as any.
John Peel was a legendary British DJ that really did launch the careers of countless groups and musicians. He was famous for his staggering record collection. Musicians knew how open he was to hearing new music and would send him demos and albums in the hopes that he would hear it and potentially play his favourite tracks on his show. Peel was an obsessive and listened to EVERY SINGLE RECORD that was sent his way, even going as far as adding a label to them which highlighted the track times (he would time them himself and often highlight disparities from what was officially stated) plus a star system per track. His biography, which he unfortunately didnt get to finish himself, is full of incredible stories and well worth a read.
After his passing, he left behind 120,000 records at his home, Peel Acres, and over the years small projects have made use of them including a project by Mr Thing. Check out the youtube video here
Anyway, what brings me here today is a new series by Tom Ravenscroft (Peel's son) that sees a musician or group visit Peel Acres and dig into the vinyl to create a playlist of tracks that means something to them. The most recent one is Nubya Garcia.

That's the one. He started writing it and was mostly finished but he passed away before the end, so his daughter (I think) took over. His life was incredible, his first or very early radio show was in Dallas and he was there when JFK got assassinated. He pretended to be a member of the press to get into the conference where Lee Harvey Oswald was presented and was a few meters from Jack Ruby, who went on to assassinate Oswald.
Thats a shame about the price. Over here I often see it in charity shops for a quid. Do you use Ebay? You might be able to score a second-hand copy cheap at some point.

Looks like plenty on Abebooks that run between $12-20 - both softcover and hardcover.
Some idiots look to want to charge $60 for shipping on $4 books, but there are many much cheaper options at a glance too. I'll probably order one myself later.

Think this fits into jazz since it was released on impulse...but I just got a copy of the Pino Palladino and Blake Mills album "Notes With Attachments" and it is really excellent. Seems to be cut at Pallas and pressed at MPO. This is the version I got. Really great sound quality. And has some amazing players on it. Pino Palladino, Blake Mills, Chris Daddy Dave, Marcus Strickland among others.

Anyone seen a price yet btw ? (holds breath)
According to jazz lore, on the morning of January 19, 1957, the esteemed alto saxophonist Art Pepper woke up to learn that he was booked for a session, just hours later, with Miles Davis’ highly respected rhythm section (pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones). Despite feeling utterly unprepared, Pepper gave the performance of a lifetime. The resulting album, Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, stands as a landmark title in his extensive catalog and is a testament to all of the musicians’ incredible talents.
Produced by Contemporary Records’ Lester Koenig and recorded by engineer Roy DuNann, this special mono edition of Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section is limited to 8,600 units worldwide, and features all-analog mastering from the original mono tapes by Bernie Grundman and was pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP. Released in partnership with Acoustic Sounds, this release celebrates 70 years of the venerable jazz record label.

I don't have a local that does RSD anymore, so will try to get one online if shops are still allowed to do that!Sounds good Mike, not sure I will line up for one yet, but maybe
Does anyone know if the mono is supposed to be a better option than the stereo on this one?

my guess is they will do a stereo version as a wider release for the rumored contemporary records series (wouldn't be shocked if they did an art pepper box similar to the ornette coleman box). i think it'll just come down to preference for stereo vs mono. I have the OJC (which has largely seemed to have disappeared online new anywhere) which is great but stereo.
The stereo has been planned for a while, I have it on preorder. I was wondering if I should try and pick up the mono and cancel the preorder. I don't know if one is preferred over the other.
