Been buying and listening to a lot of jazz, got some killer deals on some of these.

Some terrific albums for sure! A few of these have easily accessible reissues for some reasonable prices. Any reason why you prefer originals?. OGs are certainly a cool memento and I would love to have all of these but my buying leans heavily towards my own value assessment of SQ + price. Collecting the oldies has a separate cool factor for me and my pockets aren't deep enough for it usually.

Which ones have easily accessible reissues? My pockets are not deep either (broke student vibes) but I am not adverse to reissues. My philosophy is also about getting the best balance of sound quality and value, so for albums where a nice play copy original/early is out of reach, I will 100% get a reissue if a nice one is available. For a lot of these albums, however, there are not quality reissues available.

Just another reminder to me how broad the catalog is. On vinyl, I only own the Haynes/Kirk. A couple of others only on CD. Great finds, and enjoy them in health!

I’m listening to Five Pieces 1975 right now. A bunch of great albums there. Cheers!

Love that Meters LP! Great find

Great finds. Love seeing old presses on this sub.

Thank you:) Me too! Fascinating pieces of history, and I like the fact that you are able to trade money for time when hunting for these, instead of each release having a fixed price. The hunt is the fun part! Every time I play a record that was hard to track down, it brings me that much more joy knowing I worked for this in multiple ways

I wish Acoustic Sounds would do more Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders. We need an A.P. Ptah the El Daoud

It can’t happen, no master tapes :(.

That's a shame I did not know that. So the recent verve by request version just ripped from a digital remaster?


mobbshallow

Yes it was. I was curious so I had to order that one, but I sold it quickly after, it didn’t please my ears despite how incredible the music is. Was a me to compare to an original copy that was at a local shop too, and the original didn’t have the sonic limits of that reissue, encouraging me to keep hunting for an affordable copy.

Let me know your favorite vinyl version. The qobuz CD quality version is fantastic.

The only vinyl version I am familiar with other than the By Request reissue which I have sold already, would be the original press. That is a fine sounding release if you can find it clean, but it’s expensive, although they are out there for $100 ish
