What's Spinning

Grant Green - Nigeria (Blue Note, 2020 Tone Poet Pressing)

Always baffles me when people say they don't like Grant Green's playing, its just godly!

Great choice!

I had Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch on tap to watch Trump's exit.

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

The MoFi’s have landed! These are really nice and quiet, the records have really been looked after by their previous custodians.

One thing that strikes immediately is that it’s clear this is an older master, reminds me more of the Beatles I listened to as a kid, the drums and bass are much less forward than they are on the more recent reissues!

#1263-1264

Prince - 1999
Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba - Jama Ko

Such a funky record, and a wonderful album from Mali featuring an electrified ngoni. They're fabulous live.

The Beatles

This is cool, no? No biggie right?



Update: as long as you start midway through the first song, it still plays and sounds pretty good. The needle doesn't actually move back and forth like being 'off centre' but it is just the edge missing makes it look like the whole album is oblong. After that first centimeter or so it seems almost fine.

A good frisbee.

Miles Davis ‎– 'Round About Midnight (Philips, 1957 First UK Mono Pressing)

Its been ages since I last spun this one. I cleaned a ton of records today that I haven't dug out in a while. Nice to jump back into listening to some of my earlier pick-ups.

Paul Quinichette - For Basie (Esquire/Prestige, 1959 First Mono Pressing)

I think Paul Quinichette was a massively underrated saxophonist (just listen to 'The Chase Is On' with Charlie Rouse!!) and this album really highlights his fantastic style.

Portishead - Dummy

One of my all time favorite albums

Horace Silver ‎– Silver 'n' Percussion (Blue Note, 1978 First UK Stereo Pressing)

Look past the god awful cover design and this album really smokes! Its a fantastic selection of tracks from very late era Silver.
