Esquire is an interesting label as they issued US records under licence using the exact same master metalwork, right down to the catalogue number and RVG stamp. Weirdly they tend to go for more money, in some cases, than the original US pressing despite the only difference really being the artwork. I have heard some people state that the vinyl formula they used was more "pure", but I'm not really too sure how much of a difference that makes in this case.

First vinyl edition as Magnolia’s discovery pick for December. Originally released on CD in 2004. Two dudes started field recording him in the 90s and became friends with him till he passed. It’s a mix of overdubs of those field recordings and some sessions they did in Nashville. No Dark in America, the title song, is the last song he ever finished and also his reaction to 9/11. Doesn’t appear to currently be on sale at Dualtone or MRC.

The Ramones
Oliver de Coque - Ogene Sound Super

Their debut almost, almost, sounds tame now but still provides a rush. And a free gift from an African seller that is actually a fabulous Nigerian album (and a great artist name too).

EDIT: shame it didn't come with the cover (think it's the basis for one of the Nigeria 70 compilations)

Benny Golson & The Philadelphians - S/T (London Records/United Artists, 1960 First UK Mono Pressing)

Benny Golson's birthday would have been tomorrow and I have been meaning to listen to this killer album for ages, so great timing for once.

Nice session! Joe swings along as usual. My 2006 Cuscuna BN cd reissue cover is different of course
