If you're new to my channel, what you can expect from me is a vinyl collector's approach to the jazz genre. For years, I've only collected vintage pressings and prioritized originals of Blue Note, Prestige, Savoy, Bethlehem, Riverside, New Jazz, and more classic labels. Lately, with the resurgence of the medium and more collectors coming to the space, the music industry has taken notice and prioritized putting out high quality reissues of some of the best albums ever recorded.

As an earlier person said, Musings was his first album for Prestige. I was listening to it yesterday. Very enjoyable. No sax, just Miles on the front line.

Yea that’s right. I had in mind that album and Conception which features Miles Davis on it and came out as the prior catalog number (but wasn’t wholly a Miles album). Miles was his first album as the miles Davis quintet

Wow, good selections! Really looking forward to the John Wright Trio release. Nice and Tasty was one of my favorite Lps last year. I've seen South Side Soul only once in all the years I've been collecting, so for me that tops these releases. Thanks for the info!

I think musings of miles was his first 12” of new material. They’re putting out titles that people want the OJC series is pretty sweet

Im glad they are putting at least one surprise and under the radar title out with each batch they release. Because I have all the big titles, Im selfish and want all under the radar titles such as Southside, Mal 2, The Cats etc..but I cant complain. Craft and the engineers are doing a very good job with these so I have to curb my greediness. They could put out 4 a week and Id be happy!

@jazzvinylcollector 4 ай бұрын

Agreed. In my opinion the choices have been great, and a good mix to please everyone with at least a title, but a lot of us will just have to grab them all!

Great stuff. I'm hoping you're going to comment on the VMP 'Love Supreme' box as well as the repress of their "The Story of Blue Note Records.' I'm on the fence and could use some sane input.

Hi, thanks for sharing your point of view and super cool OG. I don’t have any of them so I will definitely pick them up. OJC sound great but let’s say on the « audiophile » side of sound. Quietness of high quality vinyl pressing is nice. Nevertheless, OG surely have a great vintage taste (smoothness I would say) as far as sound is concerned, impossible to beat. J from Paris

I would really love to hear your opinion on these OJC's vs. your originals or vs. AP 45's - I have been really enjoying the couple OJC's I have - but I have also been considering the River Side Bill Evans 45RPM box set - and I actually got a chance to borrow two of them from the set to compare to the OJC's - I want these OJC's to be good - I like the presentation with the OBI and I can NOT afford the 45rpm editions of all of these!

@jazzvinylcollector 4 ай бұрын

So far I’ve been a bit mixed with the Evans titles. I did some comparisons with Waltz as well as Vanguard and I want to say I preferred the AP edition for Waltz but the OJC for Vanguard. Now, I’m not going to sell the box set, but the more titles Craft releases, the harder that may be to justify. There’s another coming out for RSD. Will keep you posted as I get more OJCs though and I’ll try and address the differences

My South Side Soul with a Status jacket has a NJ fireworks label not on recycled vinyl. Sounds great but I plan on getting the new OJC as well.

That sounds like a great copy! Yea I had to stop myself from suggesting that the status was recycled because I was sure I had heard before that it wasn’t and in fact was a solid option

Soul Side Soul and Groovy are the two I’m most looking forward to and most likely getting, Miles is next on my list, the line up is phenomenal and like you mentioned it nice to listen to what is Coltrane’s early voice of his own. The Burrell/Coltrane one I’ve enjoyed listening to however I think they both have such vast catalogs on their own it’s not as much a priority right now. But all in four great selections to release this year.

Thanks for this pre-view and your houghts on these 4 exciting new OJC titles. I have been waiting for your pre-view of the 3 most recent OJC titles but I'm not sure if you skipped them or if I missed it? Those are - CANNONBALL ADDERLEY & BILL EVANS - KNOW WHAT I MEAN?....ART BLAKEY & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS - CARAVAN ....and RON CARTER - WHERE? Two of them are hitting the shops as I type this, the third hit a delay due to tip-on jackets print complications. Thanks.

@mgarner1155 4 ай бұрын

I am kind of like the 1st poster. I am a hard bop, horn led trio/quartet/quintet kind of guy. Seems like the recent OJC selections are a bit of out in left field. Is their a way to suggest titles to the decision makers at Craft. I mean, here are some I would really like to see from the Riverside and Prestige catalogs: RIVERSIDE: Johnny Griffin Sextet (SAME TITLE); -- Clifford Jordan, Spellbound, -- Jimmy Heath, either Triple Threat or The Thumper, -- Blue Mitchell, either Out of the Blue or Blue Soul, or The Cup Bearers, -- Bennie Golson, The Modern Touch or reissued as Reunion, --- Cannonball Adderley, Live at the Lighthouse, and more of Eddie Lockjaw Davis from the Prestige Catalog. Hard Bop swinging Jazz gets my attention.

@jazzvinylcollector 4 ай бұрын

I get that. I really don’t know what goes into their choices. They could take an Acoustic Sounds / Tone Poet approach and be the preferences of specific people who make decisions, or they could be data advised like what titles do we know will sell well. Obviously there are considerations like what condition are the tapes in, is there demand for specific leaders… but really all I can do is guess. I do know that South Side Soul is one the internet community has been quite vocal about so even you listing your choices is something that keeps the titles in the public consciousness

@mgarner1155 4 ай бұрын

@@jazzvinylcollector I am definitely picking up the Red Garland - Groovy. Might pick up the Johnny Wright - South Side Soul, although it sounds very similar to the Groovy album. Not a Kenny Burrell (or Jazz guitar fan) and Miles muted playing on this MILES album just doesn't do anything for me, so pass on those.

@@ffyddgobaithcariad9923 something I have seen in the past are releases showing up in Europe that are repressings of earlier remasterings, posing as part of a new series.

Thanks for removing my comments on your prior video when I highlighted the release for you.☹ At the moment they are £49.99 🤮(Amazon) in the UK so we are getting "stuffed" as usual. However thanks for the review I've already auditioned all of these since yesterday and I'm all in on these for as they sound fantastic and the music is so good

I don’t think I removed your comment! I only remove comments that are offensive and I don’t think that was the case. I even accept criticism! Which release did you reference, you mean this press release? Also, yes 50 pounds is crazy, presumably plus shipping. I don’t understand how there isn’t a European distributor for this sort of stuff (aside from Michael 45’s shop)
