I had my eye on a Dizzy Reece OG and there's an OG of Moanin up on ebay...Reece had no bids until a few minutes ago and already jumped up. Moanin still has no bids but I already have a different pressing of it...so maybe I will still hold out. You just didn't help!I apologise to your wallet

Well either of those would be fantastic wins!! I have 2 big records on their way to me and after that im planning on easing off for a while (even as I typed that im wondering who im trying to kid).I had my eye on a Dizzy Reece OG and there's an OG of Moanin up on ebay...Reece had no bids until a few minutes ago and already jumped up.

Im actually seeing Herbie live later on in the year so hoping to get this signed. The venue is quite 'proper' so im not sure how easy it will be, I have sent off an email to the venue management asking if there will be an opportunity. Would be a fantastic souvenir.

My copy of Uncompromising Expressions arrived in the mail today. Its HUUUGE. Feels like a first year Psychology text book. Maybe I need to get a pack of index cards so I can start taking notes and be able to cram for the final exam

I have the Uncompromising Expressions, Verve 'The Sound of America' and Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz on the bottom shelf of my bookcase. Way too worried about weight to put them anywhere else

Listening to this copy of Freedom Rider now...it sounds amazing! If anyone remembers me posting about getting a white B copy that was remastered by Ralph Eck, I gotta say that as soon as I started listening to this it was clearly superior.

I believe it's available to stream on Starz and will likely be on other streaming platforms in the near future!
Thank you. You just saved me $15.99. I had it preordered on itunes but just cancelled since I have Starz.

Watching now, and liking it quite a lot. Love the montage of Reid miles covers. No one has had such a legacy when it comes to album covers. Blue Train is not coltranes best, but that cover is legitimate art
Edit: halfway through and the postman comes a knockin

Nice! I really have to pick up that book. EDIT: it was on sale on Amazon for a pretty good price...so I grabbed a copy.
My mailman was nice to me today too!

Anyone else that wants that Blue Note book, there's 7 more copies at $40!
You aren't really gonna leave us hanging on what pressings those are, are you???

Ooh...what's the difference between that one and this one aside from $10 price tag?? I ordered the one I linked...
EDIT: seems like the one you linked is international shipping and not prime so works out to be a little more expensive. Seems like the same book but maybe a later edition?
Both pressings are UA represses (black B and blue label) but have the VG stamper. Ike looks like it has never been spun before and is still in shrink. It was $35 on discogs. I'm perfectly happy with it but there was no note about the corner of the cover being chopped off so not sure if I should complain? Spinning it now and it sounds really good though, no surface noise. I took a chance on the Wayne Shorter at $20 on discogs from the same seller and even though it was marked at VG, it also looks like it has never been played! I might scope out what else the seller has listed now that I know there's a chance they are conservatively graded.

It's fantastic. Mine is super clean and quiet too. The Night Dreamer pressing sounds quite nice too!

Mine came through Abe books. It was someplace in the UK (Book Depository I think). $42USD. Was listed as store return but was still in its shrink wrap.
