Really loving this new Bill Evans. Fully analog from the original tapes,  2x45, KPG mastered,  RTI pressed.  Beautiful. 

It's very melancholy, sad. Recorded in 1977 and I think soon after his brother committed suicide,  and not long before Bill decided to stop treating his chronic diseases and committed his own slow suicide. 

The record closes with his version of the theme from MASH. The proper title is "Suicide Is Painless". 

Eddie Gomez's bass is outstanding too. 

That looks tremendously appealing.  Must look into it.

It’s on sale at Plaid Room. 32 once you put in your cart. Not bad 

I am a patriot

Coheed and Cambria - A Window of the Waking Mind.  Less prog than before. More pop for sure.  Still a great album. After Stranger Things season 4, the synthesizers really bring in an 80s vibe on a couple songs.

Thanks!  Mighty tempting but two things I need to consider.  One being 45 RPM LP's are a bit of hassle with my Carbon Debut (having to lift platter, switch belt- which is why I seldom listen to my 45s), and the other being some reviews on Discogs mentioning crackle, clicks and surface noise on new copies. 

Decisions, decisions!

Yes it's kind of a pain on the Carbon.  

I saw the reviews as well and was a little hesitant,  but mine is quiet. You never know...

Late Bill Evans makes it interesting to me.

im not sure I’ve heard him past the mid 60’s

You guys weren’t wrong. 

The live tracks are probably the best sounding live recording I’ve ever heard. Just enough low level talking noise to put you in the room. Not yells or screams like on your typical live album as it adds to it, doesn’t detract.  Track 2 in particular. You can hear glassware being clinked together as the servers are clearing tables.  It’s really easy to put yourself in that room at that time. Only difference being if you were actually there it wouldn’t sound this good 

Wes Montgomery is outstanding

Yeah it's crazy good. 

Since you like Bill Evans, do you already have Montreux Jazz Fest?  That's another amazingly recorded, glass clinking show.

Not yet. I like evans a lot though 

basically my limited jazz experience so far is all derived from kind of blue and it’s expanded to include those on the album
Miles Davis
Connonball Adderley
Coltrane 
Evans 
Kelly 


One Sonny Rollins album and Time Out are the only albums that don’t connect directly to KOB

I have about ten Evans records (Trio '65 was delivered yesterday) and I think Montreux is my favorite.  I'd definitely put the AP version on your list.  33 or 45, you can't go wrong.  

The other one to get is the Village Vanguard (or Waltz for Debbie).  They were both recorded in the same run with Scott Lafaro on bass.  He was a virtuoso who tragically died about a week after the Village shows in a car accident.  He was like 23 years old.  But Evans worked with three bassists primarily, Lefaro, Israels and Eddie Gomez.  They all brought a unique sound.

Brian the Watchmen are big Billy Bragg fans. I've seen them do two BB covers at one show before. They often cover at least one. Youtube it.

Checked it out, thanks, and found a pretty good cover of "A News England".  Nice to see other bands who are fans.  Wilco as well.

Didn't buy it but R.E.M Chronic Town Picture Disc. We hear of backlogs and are they clogging up pressing plants with picture discs...sigh

In general, they're not really that great of pressings anyway.  Just another trendy kind of deal. 
I feel the same way about a lot of record store day releases.  Certainly not all- there have been many fine RSD releases.  But when I go to a record store like The Cave in Folsom and see stacks of un-bought, marked down, mediocre RSD vinyl, I scratch my head and wonder, Why?

A few years ago ANYTHING put out on RSD sold out.  When I saw the mediocre offerings and ballooning print runs I knew it was ok not to go wait on line at 5am anymore.

RSD still has a chance to do some cool things but small print runs of 2-500 diamonds are gone.

Also since the resell values are nonexistent the flippers aren't bothering to purchase as much.
