It appears we share a love of/fascination with early music, among other genres (cough...Anthem Of The Sun...cough). One of the most entertaining things about this massive thread is seeing how other members record collections/musical interests intersect.
2nd intermission music (watching Blackhawks/Stars game tonight):
Kenny Burrell & John Coletrane - S/T
Original Jazz Classics OJC-300
Both the LP and CD resissues done by Fantasy Records under the Original Jazz Classics imprint were really, really well done.

Lonnie Liston Smith - The Best Of Lonnie Liston Smith
(1978, RCA Victor)
Some nice fusion explorations, his work with Pharoah Sanders, Gato Barbieri, and Miles Davis in the late 60s early 70s really shows, with some stretching out on some tracks. Not so much on the vocal tracks which sound like more of a pop-crossover target. Nice recording, cleaned up very nicely on the used VPI 16.5 RCM I picked up today from a friend - it's a step up from the Nitty Gritty RCM that I can already tell I'm going to enjoy.

George Benson - Blue Benson
(1976, Polydor) MASTERDISK in the deadwax
Well I can tell right away that this is clearly the tasty early Benson jazz guitar, even though the recording wasn't released until 1976 - yep, the back jacket says recorded Feb and Nov 1968. There are a bunch of his early titles that I think are just right, I'm glad I've run across alot of them. Great pressing too.
Thanks Jon. I was so impressed - that I forgot to do a rinse cycle on the 1st record. . I still think the Nitty Gritty or any vacuum based RCM is "The Way" but I think the VPI is at least 50% more effective w/ the more powerful vacuum.
