My second trip to Japan only lasted a week but I still managed to visit 14 stores in Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo! The audio is improved this time, I show the records I buy as I go, and I keep a running tally of how much I spent. The video also features a very special find at the end!

Yes, that Sonny Clark record is in every jazz record shop in Japan, and, like you, I always check the pressing. I waited for a few years to buy it in the hope of getting a good pressing cheaply, but few weeks ago I managed to find a UA stereo pressing for 2,500 Yen. It sounds great, and I thought that was a good deal and was quite pleased with myself ....... until l watched this video!

Some good prices on old OJCs there. Prices in the U.S. have jumped on the old 80s/90s OJCs to where I rarely buy them here anymore.

@solarman30

Well now, thank goodness for delayed flights! Awesome haul!

@MrLovell1971

Rich awesome Sonny Clark Trio find for $25 . I never seen an OJC Rollins plays Bird in the wild . Never knew that about Blue Train the non RVG stereo pressings. Rich I’m definitely on the hunt Mal -1 OJC it’s one I never see the original is way out my budget .

@muletrane

Great finds! Bucket list vacation for me.

@jeffgentile1259

Once again, thanks you for your novel contributions to the vinyl community on YT!

@lorenzbroder4107

Great story on the sonny Clark trio, it’s always exciting to find something, better than you hoped for 😊

@raoulduke1914

Damn I had no idea you could get such good value in Japan, some incredible titles and didnt break the bank, nice work!

@imhardforhardbop

Man, Rich! This was killer! It’s only been about 6 months since I’ve returned from Japan and this is making me want to go back even more! Great finds and that Sony Clark Liberty Mono with the RVG for $25?!?!?! A score of a lifetime! As for your question about pairing Liberty/Blue Label-Era jackets and vinyl, I’m for it! Frankensteining is normal in my opinion and I don’t think people should get too riled up. Same thing is said with an Original Jacket with a Liberty/Earless. Anyways, awesome finds and I’m beyond happy for you!
