Jazz At The Pawnshop

[Steve Edwards]

Not new music to most of us, but may I pose a question to the group?  Is anyone familiar with one or more of these issues?  I'm guessing an original sounds the best, but there were multiples that came out from 1977 to the mid '80s.

The retailer RAREWAVES  has this listing:  https://www.rarewaves.com/products/7392004777792-jazz-at-the-pawnshop-vinyl?variant=31854950744161&utm_source=cartbite&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=E7E4APWHQX5JA18L48DIBRE2&cbn_medium=email&cbn_campaign=E7E4APWHQX5JA18L48DIBRE2&message_process_id=4518329352289-productId-tId-BPBHAXHX6FW4BCLWG5CCCPTP-BPBHAXHX6FW4BCLWG5CCCPTP

but when I contacted them about more details, i.e. source, pressing country and plant, color of vinyl (don't trust those pretty colored ones), the only information they had from the manufacturer was what is listed on the page.  It's a lot better price and shipping would only be $4.  But, as this is regarded as one of the best jazz records in modern music, I would like to get the best version I can.  

Play on

@Steve Edwards Hey Steve…..checking these out. I don’t have it, so cannot comment on best pressing….but…

Saw this copy from 1980 on ATR from Germany. About $35 in M/M- condition, and these are all rated very high. I would be tempted….

I have the black vinyl from around the 80s or 90s.
It is so darn good I got the CD as well.

Darn Brian, that sounds REAL tempting; but, when I clicked on it, I got a "404! Oh no!  We couldn't find that page" message.  Maybe it's already sold?

Thanks for the tip

I stream it digitally now. Can’t find the pressings I had. I got one in early 90’s and it was very well recorded. Bruce. Y dealer, told me it was his favorite pressing at the time. Was dirt cheap too …..  back then

Interesting  ..........  "MASTER CUT RECORDING"  ............. I wonder what that means.  And, most of the other releases are double LPs (with a different cover).

Yea Steve, I didn’t notice, but those European (German) releases/pressings don’t have the same number of tracks as the double LP’s.  Thus, may not be as desirable to you. But are rated very high.
