Lon, what album are you talking about above, there isn't a pic.

In the Cave for some much needed Vinyl therapy...

I got a dozen LPs in the mail last week. First up is this new discovery for me. After hearing her the first time, I immediately got online and ordered the only two LPs available...this is the latest...WONDERFUL...

Prior to this I listened to Freddie Hubbard...can't say I like this Album...save your time and skip it...

PS...Lon, I think I got it...you're talking about the Monk Soundtrack.

Breaking News For any Bill Evans Fanatics, Analogue Productions is close to shipping it's new 200 gm version of The Complete Riverside Albums". I had a preorder in and got an email asking if I still wanted it...duh...Of course!

Anyway, don't think about it too long. If you missed the 180 gm version like I did...grab this one. Mark.

I have all this on multiple cd versions and some Lps. I'm good, I don't go for these (in my opinion overpriced) Lp reissues.

Mark, I was talking about the Monk release in the post above it. . . .

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/23116-thelonious-monk-thelonious-monk-les-li...

Two LP set was released on Record Store Day, and the two CD set was released yesterday. The cds sound very very similar to the LPs which are great sounding; likely the LPs were digitally sourced.

Lon, How much did the 2 LP version cost? I've been looking and $64 and change is the best I can find. The CD version is $23. Next year I plan on going to a physical store for record store day. I had no idea it was so popular and that things sold out so rapidly...The only one I wanted that I got for the retail price was the 3 LP Jaco set. There was a Bill Evans set that immediately sky rocketed on Ebay as well as an Art Pepper that I wanted. On the Bill Evans, I'll likely buy the CD version that isn't a limited edition from Resonance Records.

If you'd like to sell your Monk Vinyl set I'd pay what you paid plus shipping

I got lucky, a week after RSD an online dealer called Bull Moose posted they had 10 copies of the Monk at the RSD day price of $59 and free shipping and I managed to snag one. Monk is one of the few musicians I would pay this sort of bounty for, and I did mostly because it has a beautiful booklet, 48 pages, with about 30 photos never used before. It's awesome, sorry, I'm keeping mine; that best price doesn't seem so bad considering the RSD list price.

That said the difference between the LP and cd sound wise is far less than I sometimes find when doing simultaneous releases (rare but for example Jose James' "Yesterday I Had the Blues") and amazon now has the cd set for 19 dollars. . . .

I didn't think you'd want to sell and once I thought about it, $64 isn't too bad. That's what my favored Reissuers would sell double 33 RPM sets for. I think I didn't think about buying this when it came out because it was from a reissuer I'm not familiar with and because there were no new tunes...just old ones played for the soundtrack. Reading your review though...I'm sold and will buy the CD version. Funny, where I found it for $23 was the store you mentioned...a physical store with multiple locations in Maine and New Hampshire. I Elusive disc or Sound Stage direct don't have it...I'll buy it there. Mark.

You have The Resonance Bill Evans' "Another Time" and "Some Other Time" sets correct...maybe not the first because the CD version comes out Sept 1st. They are good right. Is the live release with the keys on the cover good too? Mark.

I have "Some Other Time" in the CD version and will get the next one on cd in September. I do have the "On a Monday Evening" and the playing is good. The sound is decent, but not great, it's a mono recording recorded with a mike under the piano I think. I like it, and the piano sound is very resonant, which I like, and they used the "Plangent Process" on it (a software that removes wow and flutter and is very effective) . . . . On the Hoffman board this that have heard both the LP and cd say the LP doesn't sound great and the cd is the better buy.

Well, you're really familiar with one of the partners of the Monk release: Resonance Records. The other partner is Sam Records, a French I believe LP reissuer who has gotten incredible praise for sound, pressing and packaging; I haven't bought any others of theirs as I have had the material elsewhere and I'm really hesitant to plop down big dollars on vinyl reissues. amazon had the Monk cd set now for 19 dollars, and I have Prime so no shipping, I pre-ordered at 25 and they refunded me 6 dollars, but now I see it's back up to 25.

When I have the laptop connected to the mono blocks I'll give it a listen...if I remember. I have a lot of Bill Evans and doubt I'll buy this one that's not sonically very good. So I guess I shouldn't dismiss Sam Records in the future. Mark.

Well Lon, I put in this order at "Bull Moose". I can't say I like their website that much. You can't easily look at in stock jazz items. You end up scrolling through pages of out of stock selections if you put in an artists name. If you know exactly what you want, it's fine. I would have bought more but I got tired of all the scrolling. I got the Monk we were talking about and three used Bill Evans CDs. Mark.

Thelonious Monk/Les Liaisons Dangerous 1960
New - CD $22.97

Bill Evans/Trio '64@Digipak Incl. Bonus Tracks@Verve Master Edition
Pre-owned - CD $8.97

Bill Evans/At The Montreux Jazz Festival@Remastered@Verve Master Edition
Pre-owned - CD $8.97

Bill Evans/Some Other Time: The Lost Sess
Pre-owned - CD $12.97

PS...an order over $50 got me free USPS Priority Mail. Over $30 gets free media mail...

Recently I bid on and won this 60's Charles Lloyd LP, so I now have one or two of all of his Quartet albums with Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette from their explosive 60's run of popularity. I still cant believe Mosaic Records hasn't given these recordings the Box Treatment...there have to be mountains of live material in the Atlantic Records vaults...

PS...oops...I still have to pick up this groups 1966 Studio album, "Dream Weaver". I think some one reissued it on vinyl recently. Don't forget folks...both Elusive Disc and Soundstage Direct are running 20% off Father's Day sales. It's shopping time for me.

I have all of them on the new cd reissues from Warner Japan and think they sound fantastic. An interesting band, I don't like all the material but some of it is great.

Mosaic Records . . . I think they don't have as comfortable a relationship leasing wise with Atlantic, and they are barely solvent right now, it's quite possible in a year there will be NO Mosaic Records, which is a shame.

It would be tragic, but their business model is starting to trip them up. A lot of their customer base is literally dying off. . . and they are not able to lease material from the owners for downloads, which would give them new life. I hope it doesn't happen, but two months ago Mosaic sent out notice they were really in trouble and weren't able to repress some sets that they had in backorder and that "the end may be near." They got an outpouring of support and they have been able to repress the backordered sets but they are still in trouble.

Reply #13992 - 06/21/17 at 14:34:31 Okay after a weekend of sparse listening and two days of painting floors, coat after coat. . . I've got the speakers out into the room, everything set up, and I'm still listening to this SACD, my favorite digital version of music that has been a part of my life for four decades. Sounds so so good!

Listening to the Mono SACD of this Dylan title. I really like the Stereo recording of this title, which I can't say as easily with a few of the other early four, and both the Stereo and Mono SACDs from Mobile Fidelity Audio Lab are great listens. "Ballad of Hollis Brown" I think I love more in stereo. . . it's a special mix that suits this performance so well.

Tom Wilson's production is very interesting. He was quite a guy, I really enjoy the recordings on his Transition label that preceded his Dylan productions.

I am finding it quite easy to play the system loudly these days. . . and I notice I'm playing louder than I did before, so I'm easing the volume back!
