Jazz

What does HMV's shipping to the US usually work out to?

I haven’t bought from hmv in a year or two so don’t know currently but, whatever it is, this album is worth it — or, at least, it would be for me.

It’s one I wanted for a while, enough so that I had a saved eBay search for it. A not insanely priced VG+ popped up this summer from a seller who deals almost exclusively in vintage toys and clothes. They apparently didn’t look at Discogs even with their initial price. I offered $60 on it, and they accepted my offer. It’s a very strong VG+ In great shape.

Next on the series OJC (2025):
- Joe Pass, Virtuoso
- Thelonious Monk, Himself
- Wes Montgomery, The incredible jazz guitar
- Miles Davis, Walkin'
- Miles Davis, The musing of Miles
- Bill Evans, Interplay
Hmm wonder if they found tapes for Incredible Jazz Guitar? I remember seeing something on SHF about those being damaged or lost

I won’t make you jealous but found a promo copy of it in a rando record store near me for $25 or so last year! The Japanese pressing has a different track list though? So I may have to grab it too…

It's me I'm jealous 🤚 haha

That's a good bit less than I paid for my copy of In Japan, which was slightly more than @Portland Sheriff paid.

I love this record and will buy this reissue even though I already own 75% of it!

Yep. That one jumped out to me, too. I tried two copies of the recent OJC off Amazon about 7 or 8 years ago, and they were both awful. I have a twofer from the '70s with all the tracks, but I'd definitely double-up to get a high-quality version of that one. It was one of the first records on my jazz journey--one that made me realize I had a very narrow conception of jazz up to that point.
 
This is a cool album. No clue about reissue quality

 
Anyone who hasn't checked out the two just released Yuji Ohno Trio shows from the Blue Note Cafe in Tokyo yet, they arrived from Japan yesterday and I've just finished spinning this for the third time. Haven't even gotten to the other session yet, but this is the release of the year for me across all genres. The recording is incredible and as I mentioned in the now spinning thread, it's fantastic whiskey drinking music (even as someone who doesn't really drink anymore).
