What's Spinning

Lee Morgan - Dizzy Atmosphere (Specialty, 1967 First Mono pressing)

This recording is HUGE. Its often categorised as a Lee Morgan lead session, but in reality its the members of the Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra in a hard-bop setting. I can't quite describe the amount of energy in this, it's insane. Morgan was just 18 at the time of recording but he honestly stands up against all of the other seasoned musicians, even surpassing them at times. Really worth looking out for this album, I managed to get this for less than I expected because of the tape to the cover, but the record itself is in superb condition, no ticks or surface noise at all which I always find phenomenal for a 62 year old album!

On a side note, if anyone has any tips for removing old tape, that would be much appreciated!

Is that masking tape? Maybe some Goo Gone? It worked wonders on an old sticker I had to remove from a record sleeve.

Ronsonol lighter fluid and a hair dryer (LP removed from sleeve) and lots of patience.
