Visited my two favourite record shops today. So nice that things are open again!

Continuing with the recent jazz themes, I just got Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" (as well as The Roots' "Game Theory"). I really dig "Kind of Blue" and am looking at getting "Bitches Brew" or "Sketches of Spain" next; will listen to recommendations if anyone has any.

Another must have Miles: Jack Johnson

Picked a copy of this up today.

Let me know how it is. I ordered Sticky Fingers, It's Only Rock N' Roll, Black and Blue, Some Girls, and Tattoo You so far.

It’s fine, I’d call it a 7. It’s compressed for sure. Vinyl is heavy and flat. Quiet, so that’s good. But there’s not much air between the instruments. Drums don’t hit hard. If you have any of th last round of abbey road Stones, it’s on par with Exile. I’ll probably continue to search for a cleaner copy of an original.

Kid A disc 1 was terribly warped. Bought the European copy. Unbelievably it’s playing... but what a piss off

Yeah they’re all XL’s. Some are 45rpm which is nice. Amnesiac sounds particularly incredible. Havent spun all of them yet.

boxset was $170 NM. Comes in tomorrow! Supposed to be their best ever pressing so we’ll see.

Thanks, keep me posted. I may spend a little more than planned if it sounds that good. Seems to be a common thought which is why I've been on the hunt.

Man it lived up to the hype. Easily the best Radiohead pressing i’ve heard so far and probably one of the best in my entire collection. Really, really good. The box itself is really cool. Two different books inside. In Rainbows 1 and 2 on CD.

Are you just getting into jazz? If so, Bitches Brew may not be the right next record. It's very different. KOB is modal jazz whereas Bitches is experimental, avant garde. The next step for you might be something like John Coltrane "Blue Train" or "Love Supreme". They are closer to the modal sound, although a bit more faster paced.

I've wanted to give jazz a try for a while, but I am just getting into it, after watching the documentaries for Miles Davis and Coltrane on Netflix. I ended up getting Coltrane's "Giant Steps" (along with Beastie Boys' "Check Your Head") and I'm digging it for sure.

Enjoy! It's a whole different vibe but still feels fresh after 70 years! Im really enjoying my jazz odyssey of the last few years.

I'm thinking about filling the Sticky Fingers hole in my vinyl collection, so I'd be interested in how this hits...

See above for the review. The thing about Sticky is that there is no great version. There original UK is supposed to be the best, but that will run you serious cash, and it's allegedly still not great.

So if you don't have a copy at all, this new one is probably as good as you'll find without spending a ton. I have an original US and I prefer the reissue from a few years ago.

An improvement over the 80s CBS CD I have is going to be hard to find.

Any experience with the MFSL version?

I read some reviews in the past. Better, but still criticism

Just ordered Creed's greatest hits on vinyl (yes, I like Creed).

Attaway77 · June 2020

Waiting for Ray Lamontagne's new album to get here now, liking the new album.

Hey, I just picked up Human Clay the other day. You like what you like. Own it!

Also, didn't realize the GH was getting pressed. Would love to have My Own Prison as I still think that's their best album, but getting a few of those songs on a GH might be the closest I get.

Few things that I picked up over the past week.

mrussel1 · July 2020

Nice. Dig it all.

Is jazz making a big come back, or has it always been big and I never noticed?

I think there have been a lot of high quality reissues from the likes of Blue Note, Columbia, Prestige... recently that have contributed to the upward trend in sales. Analogue Productions and Mobile Fidelity have are also re-releasing great jazz albums.
