There seem to be some DIY Pi streamer kits and directions around. I may make one for shits n giggles no matter what cause it looks fun.

Yeah, there's volumio and Picoreplayer that are pretty popular for Pi Streamer builds. Volumio unfortunately requires a premium subscription to do some of the more advanced features like Tidal Connect, bluetooth playback and some hardware support features. PiCoreplayer is basically built on the old Logitech Media server platform and looks to be completely free for all of its features. I'm planning on doing a Pi streamer but Pi 4B's of any kind are basically impossible to come by at this time.

Yeah I’ve been running them using volumio for a good 6 years now and they’re great. I’m finally reaching the point when I’d like a bit more but I’ve no regrets from messing with them and the various HiFiBerry hats for them. I played around with a lot of software before landing on volumio. AirPlay, RoonBridge and Spotify connect are all free on it but yeah you need to pony up for Tidal Connect or Qobuz.

I love this album and have the black version which has been available for a long time already from Mr Bongo & other retailers. Mr B actually has 2 different versions of this available now on black vinyl and I'm not sure what the difference is between them.

The newer "Special Edition" features tip-on sleeve and OBI, half-speed mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, and is going for an extra £3. I actually have a copy on the way from Mr. Bongo.

Then the £3 is for tip-on sleeve and the obi since all these recent reissues are 1/2 speed mastered by Showell... audio wise it seems like they should all sound the same. My "regular" black reissue copy sounds good but the Chris Schilder Ibrahim Khalil Shihab Spring reissue that I bought at the same time from Matsuli Music, which also features Mankunku, sounds even better!

Did the previous batch of Jazz Dispensary titles (Purdie, Axelrod, etc) ever show up in swaps? I want to get Melvin Sparks, but I don't want to $45 get it.

Same as @avecigrec, they did and I also got most of them that way. I actually managed to get the whole set without paying the full price, using credit from the Herbie Hancock Anthology delay (I think) and Swaps.

Im also hoping they make their way over to swaps. The quality of the first set was really fantastic regardless of the price.
 
So where are people thinking the Miles Davis - Star People is going to end up? Since they did Sorcerer as an Essentials already, that leaves Classics even though they did Miles & Coltrane Live way back when. I am a little worried that if it is Classics, it actually initially might sell out.

Just want to hedge my bets and might sign up the month early and just swap for credits to (and grab Built to Spill) secure my place in line.

Storf has said that he doesn't consider the Miles & Coltrane LP as counting for either in Classics. We just got a Coltrane in Classics, so I'm guessing Star People will be in Classics.

My view is that although it will be popular for the fact that it’s Miles, I can’t imagine a staggering amount of people will sign up for it as it’s not considered his best. That era of his music is quite polarising really.

Personally I wouldn’t consider it amongst his best (certainly not my top 10…15?). Not to say I don’t like it but I can’t see it being as popular as the Coltrane/Davis for example.

I agree (though I have streamed it a couple of times and really like it) but I can see a lot of Davis fans dropping in just for the month to grab it.

But if Sun Ships is not sold out in its initial run, then I doubt Star People will as well.

I swear I saw someone post this in another thread but it was bandcamp? I don't remember which one was cheaper though

this has a pretty wide release. I think this is the 3rd reissue of it. Mr. Bongo put it out and it's on their bandcamp:


but it's also available at lots of shops.
