Arrived today in the post:
Tomo Akikawabaya - The Invitation of the Dead
This arrived today and my expectations were zero after seeing him on Jool's however, to be fair I think it is a pretty decent listen, obviously it'll take a few spins for it to settle in but whilst not earth shattering it was better than [Endless River] I was expecting....
Horace Silver Song For My Father - Music Matters 2LP 45rpm

I wish they would redo this in 33 rpm along with The Magnificent Thad Jones!
Cosmogramma - Flying Lotus
Horace Silver Song For My Father - Music Matters 2LP 45rpm
We played this at the meetup Tuesday.
The Amazing Bud Powell : Vol. 1
Checking out current *Don Was* Blue Note's 75th Anniversary 24/192 *digital* vinyl.
I am skeptical regarding his claim:
Working with a team of dedicated and groovy engineers, we found a sound that both captured the feel of the original records while maintaining the depth and transparency of the master tapes... the new remasters are really cool!

Were they MM's 45 rpm?
If it is anything like as good as Pale Green Ghosts then it will be one of the best releases this year

Hi sg, this is one of my all time favourite albums. Do you have an original 1987 RCA pressing If so I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on how the newley mastered copy measures up. As my original copy sounds superb and has been a reference album of mine for a long time. Hope you are enjoying your new album.

Unfortunately I don't have a first time round copy. I looked on the internet, but they are rare and expensive. I pre-ordered this release and won't actually get it while Monday. After I've put it through the RCM i'll get back to you. Apparently this is an all analogue production overseen by Jennifer Warnes. It's £32+pp on Diverse, but currently £56 on Amazon pre=order.
This from HMV this morning...
Not played it yet.
A little haul from a visit to Rough Trade East...
And the 12", St Anthony: An Ode To Anthony H Wilson by Mike Garry & Joe Duddell:

FYI,
I have just received my copy today and compared it to my Cypress/RCA copy.
IMHO the Cypress/RCA version is much better, more open and better dynamics.
Wayne Shorter :Speak No Evil
Freddie Hubbard: Hub-Tones
Just got a shipping notification. Another installment from the Music Matters 33 RPM.
