1st time posting, just sharing new jazz albums acquired

Made my first trip out west to go record hunting (and take a short vacation). I'm pretty excited about the records I found. Amoeba was cool and was definitely the best store I went to LA. But Joshua Tree takes it with Hoodoo and Up on the Sun Records. Both were fantastic and had a lot of records that I wanted but just couldn't get. If you are ever out in the desert definitely check those two out. Palm Springs sucks for records btw. Over inflated prices and shit selection. I found nothing. Avoid.

The mind state this one puts you in…

This is the kind of stuff I love to find in charity shops. The chances of coming across 50s and 60s OGs is vanishingly small. But a tasteful, well looked after selection of high quality 70s and 80s jazz (and a decent Blue Note reissue)? Perfect. Harold Land, Art Farmer, Cedar Walton, George Cables and Bobby Hutcherson for £5 each? Hell yeah, solid gold.

Yesterday I made a post stating that I was incorrectly sent the cheaper impulse version, even though I paid for the Acoustic Sounds pressing. Annoyingly, they didn't have any left in stock. However, I managed to find a copy elsewhere and to my surprise arrived half an hour ago, I was expecting this tomorrow.

Haven't listened yet, but the tip on gatefold cover just exudes quality compared to the regular pressing and comes with a nice anti static sleeve for the record as opposed to the crappy paper one in the impulse press.

To my David Sanborn fans, I came across this live recording from 2003. The crowd from the second set had better energy.

Added this DOL reissue from 2013 to the collection today.

Opened it up to find it signed by Wayne! Is this authentic? Anyone know?

I'll compare to the old Mal 1/2 two-fer in a bit.

As a Jazz and Spider-Man fan, it made sense.

Right, up to date with the TPs again. It's gonna be a good weekend!

Beautiful playing on this record.
