Don’t really need another Jazz reissue series but I’m thinking of trying Thad Jones (Detroit- NY Junction) and Grant Green (1st time on vinyl?).

Does seem they had to work a bit to tie a full series to the “Detroit Scene”. But the pressings sound promising…..

“For an undertaking like this you have to walk the extra mile. The original tapes were sent to Third Man’s Detroit mastering and pressing facility where their extensive all analog re-mastering process ensured that the albums delivered live up to the tradition they are part of. The Third Man Records team’s commitment to audio purity means no corners can be cut; sound and mastering engineer Warren Defever’s goal being to provide the closest possible approximation of the magic found on the original master's tape brought to your living room. From the lacquers cut in the studio on the Neumann VMS-70 Cutting Lathe to the 180 gram vinyl pressed across the hall, every step of the process is tested in the facilities against exacting standards. That’s the Detroit way and the reason why the musical legacy from the 313 area code remains beloved around the world.”

ThirdMan should be state-of-art but I will admit I’ve had some great 3rd Man and some lesser not so great ones. Of course I’ve got a couple bad AS pressings also so fingers crossed.

FYI the Elvin Jones - Genesis is also an underrated 45rpm MM Reissue. I like it but def don’t need another. :-).

TerdMan is a more appropriate nickname for them I think....nothing I have from them sounds AMAZING. I had a few vault purchases, then a bunch of wider releases. Lots of dirty pressings, lots of scratches and warps. the recent Sufjan was better but I think its because it was limited to 300 or something. They seem to be more like United to me than any other plant...every once in awhile you'd get something good from them but mostly inconsistent with quality.

And yea--that Elvin is real good. I have an OG otherwise I'd dip in for this one.

I think they did the pricing snafu on the pavement deluxe and had to cancel and refund everyone. They don't have their shit together very well from my experience.

Maybe not. That was the MSRP on these when they came out 15 years ago. But I thought they might be a little harder to come by now.

Edit: I just checked, I paid $33.19 December 2019.

Animal Collective - Defeat (12") | Domino Mart

“What have we become?” Avey Tare sings in an irrepressible hook, shouting the question in a way that exclaims we might still become something more. The song’s slow-motion finale feels like a fantasia vision of what’s to come—a quieter place where we can thrive together, not apart. This is the...

They are fun and loud and Goo is my favorite album. You definitely don’t Need a 4xLP box set of an album by a band you’ve never fully explored but It’s likely always gonna be worth as much as you paid for it. So it’s not much of a risk if you feel up for exploring.
