Yup , thanks .. was delighted when my friend ( vinyl dealer) offer me the electric warrior at a gd price .. the curtis fuller have some sticker mark in the last track, but was able to play thru on my mono set up ..all good..

@steelydan talk about great finds today. Solid pick-ups! That HoraceSilver LP is a goodie, can't do much wrong with that line-up

[steelydan]

@steelydan said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Happy to get this kevin Grays electric warrior in mint condition

Please tell us more about Kevin Gray @steelydan

I only found this 180gr cut from
Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio from the "ORIGINAL" Analog Master on this great setup….‍️:
Technics SL-7, AT450, Yamaha A-S1100, Tascam DR-2d

@GraemeE I saw their first NYC show but sadly missed their last. Saw a few in between. (Meant to quote, that was supposed to be about Kikagaku Moyo.)

Visiting my parents and took this of their LP’s tonight, just because we have some special memories with it.
Played it often, but only the last track!

[J-IV]

I'm a simple man. I see Horace, I play Horace. Fitting since there seems to be clear skies here on out for us

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I'll second this desire for knowledge - I'm unfamiliar

[steelydan]

@Aetas Kevin gray is a recording engineer similar to bernie grundman different style tho

[steelydan]

@J-IV , beautiful deep groove pressing . Must have cost you a pretty penny..

[J-IV]

@steelydan found this for half the price of a typical IHT at a record fair actually. Seller didn't know what they had...

Jazz record prices are insane now, it kind of makes me nauseous lol

[GraemeE]

@steelydan I have an ongoing and heated (albeit good natured) argument with several of my friends about the sacredness of original pressings

I'm typically not a purist especially since I don't want to spend a small fortune on a single album

I'd love to be able to listen to the original 1971 pressing up against the Kevin Gray re-issue someday

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , same here not a purist . But given a choice to have a original first pressing in gd condition will always be my first choice , but sad to say most popular album is either groove wear, distorted or scratch up . So.. newer well okey pressing will be my only way to enjoy the songs..
Feedback from my friends ( i dont own the original to compare) , the KG reissue sounded bass heavy and not as open .. subjective to different playback system tho

[steelydan]

@J-IV , so happy you have the opportunity to acquire this magnificent deep groove version for a fantastic price . Do give me a heads up if u do chance upon a gd buy that you want to pass ... TIA..

[J-IV]

@steelydan will do! Any jazz in particular? I don't go digging as often as I used to (or like to for that matter) but I'll gladly pass along a great deal to a good home if I spot one
