Vinyl Me Please Classics

[marshall]

I just listened to miles Davis and John Coltrane, which I picked up off of eBay. It was in perfect condition and sounds great. As I said earlier, I’ve only been in since orientalists jazz. I’m looking to pick up a few earlier titles that I missed, starting with this one. I’m more of a jazz guy but I do love Nina Simone. Do you guys recommend that album? Thanks!

Yes that Nina pressing is the best I’ve heard.

Not Motown.

Sweet. I’ll always take some more jazz. Did we have a release year for it? I want to say that it’s probably an artist that was featured in the anthology as he said they were going to revisit artists in anthology but through different albums. We just assumed they were talking about Motown

1964 is the year.

I wonder if they'd do something from Prestige for their 70th Anniversary, like:

The Exciting New Organ of Don Patterson w/ Booker Ervin

 

[Dark Star Boogie]

Another jazz album?!?!
Perfect

 

[trickyseven]

Man, its a blues drought up in here. Have we had an acoustic blues album yet in Classics?

Also, were we told that Herbie would be a 2019 classics pick or was that what turned out to be Art Blakey?

Really interesting they are going with jazz again. Surely not Blue Note, right? (Which is too bad - looks like a lot of great BN '64 releases)

From Reddit:

Me: Is Classics from a label you've collaborated with recently on their Anniversary?
Storfer: no
Me: So not Blue Note or Prestige. Thanks.

So a 1964 Jazz album, NOT from Blue Note or Prestige...

Could be Riverside... Concord owns both Riverside and Prestige, so VMP probably has a relationship.

They've done several Verve too, so that's possible. Maybe Impulse?

 

[johnpisme]

Could be Crescent? If it's Spiritual Unity that'd be incredible.

 

[Wes C. Attle]

Cal Tjader - Soul Sauce (Verve) came out in 1964...

 

[RobbieBobby]

I'm happy they are branching out from Blue Note on this one. It sounded like this will be AAA as well, so I am likely in regardless of the pick.

 

[Joe Mac]

Another fucking jazz album? Eugh! Whatever happened to the blues third of this track?

Blues in December according to Storf on Reddit.

Well that’s something, it’s been really under represented in the picks over the first 30 or so albums.

ESP reissued this themselves a while back but I wonder if Ayler’s Spirits AKA Witches and Devils might be it. Freedom reissued it under the latter title and ORG have been putting the Freedom titles out with VMP grabbing variants like with Tutankhamun.

I think since it's supposedly a big label that rules both out. Maybe Mingusx5

That would be a great pick, except that it just got reissued for the Verve "Vital Vinyl" campaign.
