Thanks @GraemeE and @mclaincausey and @J-IV
These are all great suggestions. I’m going to start working my way through them on Spotify and then look for great pressings of the ones that hit the sweet spot.

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey yup! I know it’s the most sold jazz album of all time…for good reason. I love that one for sure!

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle almost the same lineup and period, hence the similarity

@J-IV listened to the Shelly Manne on the way to work this am. LOVE IT! Gonna hunt a copy of this one down for sure!!

@Mizmazzle where do you look for great pressings? This weekend, I went through the entire catalog at rarerecords.net after @Kasi told us about how good Japanese pressings are. It's a nice site. Wondering if there are other places to get the good stuff for decent prices.

@GraemeE I was a huge Ferry/Roxy Music fan. I was still living at home in 1978 when The Bride Stripped Bare album was released. My mom was a little prudish and was not happy at all when I brought it into the house!
She was even more offended when she saw the cover of the Country Life Roxy album

@68degreesorless I usually go through discogs. But I’m going to check out some of Mo’s recommended site now too!!
From what I’ve read, the 70’s era Japanese pressing can be among the best because of the virgin vinyl they used back then. While the states was already recycling older vinyl pellets by then, Japan was newly developing their pressing plants. Hence the dead silence the 70’s era Japanese pressings are known for. I wouldn't doubt for a second that they still apply their famous tenacity to details into modern pressings either. I have Meddle-The Wall Japanese first pressings and they are other worldly!!

Harumi has returned to me.
My buddy found a NM copy on discogs without the sleeve so he let me have the VG copy (sans sleeve) that I had picked up for him

@Aetas knew back then that I should have never let it go to begin with

[mclaincausey]

Signed baby!

@mclaincausey Nice score and great album!

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey sick dude. Have you listened to any of the other Adrian Quesada projects?
Echocentrics are really good
Brownout is badass!!
I’ve got all of those on vinyl. Excellent sounding pressings too!
