Full Disclosure on Internet Pic...Correct catalog number and condition, just a grab.

Kinda lounge Hamp making' a buck. All the same, the Columbia studio allows for some good music to shine through, the engineers really knew what they were doing.

 

Terje Rypdal - Odyssey
ECM '75

 

Dang! Time for the last side already...

Now Playing: Cal Collins, "Blues on My Mind"

Trombone: Bob Brookmeyer Piano: Mose Allison Upright Bass: Teddy Kotick Drums: Nick Stabulas

 

Nice that you documented this, but it almost brought a tear to my eye. Between losing Record Theater in Buffal and Sam The Record Man and A&A Records in Toronto, that ended an era of treks to the Niagara Frontier for Vinyl. Sad.
