According to the magazine article they tried to do Tusk and it wasn't happening so they decided on this instead. Color in the mock looked nice - blue and black galaxy, but in person it's another practically black record until you stick it up to a light. I didn't have it and thought the color was going to be nice. Agree overall with you. To their credit it does sound really nice.
Lol Tusk is only slightly harder to get. Lol.
 
Ill Considered ‎– 6 (Ill Considered Music, 2019 White Label Limited Test Pressing and White Label First Pressing)

Managed to get 2 copies of these limited releases. A white label test pressing (No. 02/10) and a white label first pressing (No/ 53/300). Regardless, its a killer album.

Charlie Parker Quintet / Dizzy Gillespie Quintet - Volume 25 (Curcio, 1981 Blue Box Set)

This is the last record in the Curcio 'Blue Box' set and its a good one! The first 3-tracks were recorded by the Charlie Parker Quintet live in 1949 and sees the musician just a few years out of the Camarillo State Mental Hospital (where he spent 6-months from problems spurred by his drug-habit). The first 2 tracks feature Kenny Dorham on trumpet, while the final track sees him replaced with a young Miles Davis. The second set of recordings are provided by Dizzy Gillespie from sessions recorded in 1953 and 1960 (as the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band and Dizzy Gillespie Quintet). These are also good, but its the Charlie Parker recordings which are the juiciest!
