Actually, not a reissue of "Africa/Brass" as that was an Impulse album recorded three or four years later. . . .Rather it is a reissue of material recorded for Savoy co-led by Wilbur Harden.

This is an article about the release that reissues the complete sessions.

Marky, I wouldn't buy LPs from Doxy. They are a gray market company that uses unlicensed recordings for their LPs. I would guess commercial CDs. You can get legitimate Vinyl for between 15 and 30 bucks or less if you're willing to buy used. I'm looking at what Elusive disc has and found three of the Impulse Coltrane albums for $16 on 180 gm vinyl (see below). I have to do some research to see if they measure up in sound quality. I've been very happy with the vinyl reissues I've gotten from Legacy/Sony, Rhino, Analogue Productions, MFSL...all for between $27 and $14.

Thursday night I scored a NM Mosaic Complete Monk on Blue Note (4LP) for $77.50. I think this might have been Mosaic Records first reissue. Yesterday I got a Jimi Hendrix Mono "Axis: Bold as Love" on 200 gm QRP Vinyl for 14.50 and a Jeff Beck "Blow By Blow" half speed mastered LP from CBS Mastersound for $10.50. All these were auctions on ebay.

CD #6 of Art Pepper's Galaxy Box is spinning as I type...more from Japanese Concerts. Mark.

I`ve just been reading about the DOXY label and out of copyright material which is fair game. Could be the album was recorded from cd ( shock horror) or`needle drop`. I`ve had one or two albums lately bought new, and sealed but found there to be a couple of ticks as if it were an older album. Would this be a `needle drop` album.
Guess it`s a minefield with reissues and public domain albums. I`m going to try and source more `pukka` recordings in future.

edit. just read above post Mark. Thanks

Marky, what's "pukka" mean? Some people seem ok with gray market LP sound...just know what you're actually getting...a copy of a cd or lp, not a remastered recording sourced from the official Analogue Tape...sometimes transferred into digital from which the Vinyl is cut. To my ears, those cut from digital masters from the analogue tapes usually sound good. I'm not a crazed purist by any means and let my ears and the opinion of others who have actually listened to the LPs in question, guide my purchases. It amazes me how some over at the Steve Hoffman site can go on and on about reissue Vinyl even before it's been released. But I do find opinions over there helpful.

I have to get back to Vinyl now. Forgive me for not posting what I'm spinning but these Sylvania Triple Mica Black Plate 5751's I've put in the ZP3 are mesmerizing and render me incapable of paying attention to the computer. Bye, Mark.

Yes sorry, Pukka would be the real deal, proper. The album sounds like it is the genuine article and could be as I`ve read even taken from a high def cd. As they are supposedly lossless, and again hopefully taken from master tapes to get the high def, then the cutting tool for the `new gray reissue` wouldn`t be fast enough to follow the digital ups and downs of binary 1 and 0`s but smooth them out like a smoothing cap.

I found a site yesterday that I`ve bookmarked.
http://www.forcedexposure.com/New/NewIndex.html

...but, having another look they`ve got loads of DOXY albums. hm
right I`ll ignore that site then.
Marks site must be about the best for new/nm vinyl.

OK, it's time to start sharing what I'm listening to again. Today my order from Mosaic Records and Elusive Disc arrived. Also another Sylvania Gold Brand Black Plate Triple Mica 5751 arrived...It is now with the other Gold Brand I have in the ZP3. I also got one of the military version of this tube, so now I have a pair of them too. I think the Gold Brand and Military version are the same tubes with different print. I think the tube I just put in is nos and needs a little burn in.

This is spinning now and prior to the Monk I listened to a 180 gm Pure Pleasure reissue of Laura Nyro's "New York Tendaberry". It's far better than the original I have...very quiet and no distortion...the original recording and mastering were bad.

OK, I'm listening to the MFSL Mono reissue of "Milestones". I prefer it over the Sony/Legacy reissue. It is warmer and seems to have nicely taken the edge off of Miles' horn and Philly Joe Jones' cymbals...of course this finding might also be due to different tubes in the ZP3...I'll have to listen to the Legacy LP again soon to tell for sure.

I recently bought the MFSL 180 gm LP "Four and More" and will buy their reissue of "My Funny Valentine" when it is finally released. Preorders are being accepted. Is your copy a SACD or are you listening to it out of the White CD Box like me? Mark.

I'm listening to the MFSL SACD, it was released about two weeks ago (sometimes they release the lp first, sometimes the SACD). Sounds fantastic. I find that SACD through my Denon 100th Anniversary SACD player (a really under-priced gem of a machine) or my Arcam SACD player (sometimes I use that in my main system, mostly it's in my second system) can sound as good as audiophile vinyl through the CSP2+ with Jupiter caps into the Torii Mk III with Jupiter caps.

No, it does not. I mostly use my Denon DCD-A100 for SACD, it's a fantastic machine, built to be a 100th anniversary flagship, and priced way lower than it should have been. I got one at a further discount a year ago--I'm excedingly happy with its sound. It's good with Redbook as well, and you can access the DAC by USB, coaxial and optical, though the Redbook and all but SACD are a bit better from the PS Audio DAC Mk2, the Denon is far from a slouch. A friend bought one of the last I saw listed after comparing his Oppo to mine.

SACD is very good, but the gap between that and Redbook on my PS Audio DAC Mk2's redbook sound is not large, more different than one is better.

Right now

Lon, so it sounds like for someone with thousands of Red Book and only a few Hybrid/Duel layer SACDs...me!, the PWT would be the way to go. I read about how it works...makes sense. What connection is needed to use the PWT with a non PS Audio Dac or Dac portion of a CD player? Could I bypass the Jolida 100's transport and use the PWT for transport? Mark.

The PWT outputs digital data from coaxial digital, balanced digital, and optical digital as well as HDMI (but it's a proprietary HDMI, not standard, so it will only work for PS Audio PerfectWave DAC and DirectStream DAC, and also Wired4Sound have adopted the same protocol).

If your Jolida has a digital in in coaxial or optical you could use the PWT to feed that.

I'm back in the Listen Cave for some vinyl. Last night things didn't sound right with the ZP3. I wasn't sure what the problem was but things sounded thin with little Bass. It may be that the newest Sylvania Gold Brand Triple Mica Black Plate 5751 tube was screwing things up...maybe it just needs more time for break in. Anyway, I pulled the 5751s and put in a pair of 1957 RCA Black Plate 12AX7s with the RCA Triple Mica Black Plate 5814 and things again sounded good. I played the first half of this album and now am playing side two. Sounds great...warm, plentiful, tuneful bass. Next up will be this original LP that arrived in the mail today. Mark.

PS...I looked up the "Time Out" LP on discogs...it's a 1959 first pressing Mono, 6 eye that so far sounds great, the second side looks to have more scuffs that may not be very audible, the cover has a couple splits but looks pretty good.

Next the first side of this MFSL reissue, then I've got to go...
Mike B. from Seattle had asked me to comment on this LP. The sound on this Stereo MFSL version far surpasses the 70's reissue I have...dead quiet and the orchestra just sounds much fuller and bigger. This is a real winner. I haven't heard the Sony/Legacy version yet but on "Milestones" and "Round About Midnight" where I have both the MFSL and Legacy, all of which are Mono, I prefer the MFSL versions that I find quieter and warmer...seeming to take the edge off the trumpet and cymbals even more than the Legacy LPs that did a nice job of this too. Is it worth buying the MFSLs if you have other versions of these LPs...Hell Yes! Mark.

I have switched to the Zu Audio "Soul" speakers and with the Bugle Boy 6DJ8s the sound is a bit too dark/warm...with the Omegas they were great. Anyway, I've popped in the Amperex 7308's again...much better. Mark.
