Josh,

You've hit the spot - Soultrane is gimmicky and I went through the jacket describing Coltrane's playing as 'sheets of sound' around that time. I listened to Blue Train too, and Cannonball Adderley's Somethin Else and Sonny Rollins Volume II. The system is becoming better.

Still awaiting my record sleeves and Time Out: sitting in customs since 21st Aug!

Tchaikovsky, Violin Concerto, performed by two different orchestras but same violinist (Zino Francescatti - brilliant violinist, BTW)

Josh,

Any idea about the definitive recording of Concerto in F by George Gershwin (vinyl)? I have a CD which has an outstanding recording, arranged by Ferde Grofe - he of the definitive Rhapsody In Blue fame.

I will try to lay my hands on both- wonderful music.

I don't have a single Gershwin so I wouldn't know :)
 
Bugsnest,

The Time Out issue looks (from the back cover pic left top) to be an Analogue Productions reissue. Their pressings are top notch, and most likely from a good source, maybe the original master tape.

An option, especially for you , being in the US, is to find an original 6-eye Columbia, in Mono or Stereo. The LP sold a million plus (the best selling jazz LP of all time), so it should not be hard to find. (Well, I've found both versions in Chor Bazaar, in NM condition, to brag a bit :-) )

regards,

It's definitely more "rewarding" finding these at CB!! Congrats, you deserve it :)
So these are the Analogue Productions 45 rpm reissues?? Those are pricey man! I have been eyeing some of the Blue Note 45 reissues from AP and MM, which I hear are spectacular. But at 50 bucks it's too rich for my blood :(

Man, you have special luck finding treasures from the C Bazaar.

My copy of Time Out is a Gramaphone Company of India pressing. There's no mention of year of pressing but from the quaint legend 'STEREO' and the fine print 'can be played on any modern monophonic equipment with a light weight pick up', I'm guessing it ought to be from the mid to late 60s. Sonics is spectacular.

Yes bro, same for Brubeck's greatest hits India pressing.

What is a 6 eye Columbia?

Regards
issigonis

It's an 'insider' term used for Columbia label LPs that were issued from the mid-50s till about 1962 (the first Bob Dylan LP was among the last titles with this label variation). For pop and jazz LPs, the label was red, with three oval figures in black (like a simple depiction of a TV screen with two legs) on each side, i.e. west and east, with the word 'Columbia' in bold letters on the top. The oval images are referred to as 'eyes', hence the 6-eye label. Classical LPs had a brown or mauve colour.

They were replaced by what is known as the 2-eye label, which had only one 'eye' on each side, plus the words '360 sound' at the lower edge of the label. These carried on till about 1970-71, when they were replaced by the orange label, with the words CBS in multiples on the periphery.

6-eyes and 2-eyes are prized today, because the LPs were made of thick, heavy vinyl, and because they were part of a period when Columbia recording studios took great pains to produce excellent sounding records, mainly in an all-tube recording chain, with minimal miking. For jazz LPs especially, the 6-eyes are most sought after today.

Is the record then a 6 eye? This is the Brubeck vinyl I referred to in my post above.
