Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk - Miles And Monk At Newport
(1964, Columbia) 2 eyes w/ "360 Sound" in black on label = 1st pressing
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...lesmonk003.jpg
Side 1 is a 1958 Miles Davis performance at Newport - one of only 2 non-bootleg pre-1960 live recordings - the "Kind Of Blue" sextet w/ John Coltrane.
Side 2 is a 1963 Monk performance at Newport. A recent thrift find, looks and plays like new.
Raging Slab - Self Titled
(1989, RCA) STERLING in the deadwax = mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound, NYC
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...ingslab001.jpg
Produced by Daniel Rey (who also produced Iggy Pop, The Ramones). A 1989 Guitar World review of Raging Slab described the groups sound as "Lynyrd Skynyrd meets Metallica". I can hear the references, especially the metal side but also some tasty playing with 70s boogie influences. This record cooks especially like a track called "Bent For Silver".
Nina Simone - Here Comes The Sun
(1971, RCA)
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o.../nina001-1.jpg
an interesting record with Nina Simone singing 60s hits from George Harrison and Dylan, Angel Of The Morning, O-O-H Child. what a voice. I think her version of Here Comes The Sun is a new favorite. a very nice recording with her voice, piano and percussion out front and well defined, and any string arrangements kept in the back.
John Scofield - East Meets West
(1977, Blackhawk) Promo / NFS

His debut studio album. A really nice recording and his playing is instantly recognizable for me.
Roy Orbison - The Fastest Guitar Alive
(1967, MGM) 1986 re-release
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...rds/roy001.jpg
"Roy Orbison on the screen at last as a singin' shootin' son of a gun". Orbison actually starred in this film as Johnny Banner - from wikipedia[/URL]:
Quote:
A musical western, the story is set near the end of the American Civil War with Orbison portraying a Southern spy with a bullet-shooting guitar given the task of robbing gold bullion from the United States Mint in San Francisco in order to help finance the Confederacy's war effort.
The film features Orbison performing several original songs which appeared on his 1967 MGM record album of the same name.

ouch, I need to find another one - appears to be very flimsy lightweight paper used for cover for this 3 record set. The records are great players. Listening to sides 5 & 6 includes a very nice "Walk Me Out In The Morning Dew"
