More than satisfied with this RSD 2024 GEM, Cannonball Adderley Burnin’ in Bordeaux: Live in France. Their cover of Pops Staples’ Why am I treated So Bad/The Theme is way cool.

Another Ricky Ford.
Ricky Ford “Tenor Madness Too!” Muse cd
This one keeps revealing bits and pieces to me, in part because the muddiness of the sound causes me to seek out little details and in part because there’s a looseness to the performance that draws me in different directions.

Lucky Thompson “1944-1947” Chronogical Classics cd
Ron several forum members have reported tracking issues with this particular Tone Poet reissue. I can’t say I’ve had any issues, and intend to return to it once Brian installs my Mutech Hayabusa Friday. Did you experience any tracking issues?
No problems. The vinyl is dead quiet and no tracking issues.

I get the impression there may be more than a handful of mediocre pressings out there.
Starting off the morning with some Joe. Just before I pressed play I heard an owl, which always seems a good way to start a day.

Having multiple copies I was hesitant to try the 2021 MOV reissue. The vinyl is designer marbled blue and white. Typically I prefer plain jane carbon black vinyl. This one is a keeper compared to my original as ut is easier to hear into the performance.
