The pressing is first class and Ray Fowler’s engineering stands out. The solo number is a real gem.

Circle Waltz is an incredible session. For me an unforgettable piece of music. Unfortunately pressings of this one are awful, and it is almost impossible to find a correct copy.

I know Friedman’s “A day in the City” much better and think it is a great record.
Gee, I pulled out my copy of “Full House”, it is the turquoise version of Riverside/Orpheum. Not an original!
One of my favourite Monks is “5 by Monk by 5”, somewhat neglected. Thad Jones is just fantabulous. A.T. surpasses himself and there are new Monk compositions. Riverside has many treasures to offer anyway.
Do you have Orrin Keepnews’ book: “The view from within”. Oxford University Press 1988. It gives a lot of background on Riverside Records, and its demise an the artists. Very worthwile reading.
I prefer the Prestige Monk piano trio sessions to Riverside’s. The Blue Notes are dated IMHO.
What do you mean by IIRC?
cheers

Large labels were issued in the last part of Riverside (around 320-330 numbers). Do you have a DG copy of “Full House” ? This one exists, but is very hard to find in Mono (Stereo are all DG IIRC)… “Circle Waltz” is IMO one of the milestones in Riverside. It is one of the greatest trio album ever issued. Regarding Monk and Bill, yes, of course i agree… With a special mention to Bill, because i think that Riverside concentrates the most important records of Bill Evans. Monks discography is spread on various label, (although many consider “Brilliant corners” and “Monks music” as the finest monk recordings).

My “Circle Waltz” has a blue label, a big one, and no DG, but a circle sort of groove the size of a 2 euro coin, say one inch.
My “Kerry Dancers” has the same labels as “Circle Waltz”.
Riverside in the later years was very irregular. They had their financial problems too.
Yesterday I played a deep groove copy of George Russell’s Stratusphunk. It is fabulous music and the sound quality stands out. Recording engineer Ray Fowler did a great job.
The 4 George Russell albums form a very valuable monument of late Riverside. For early Riverside it is Monk, mid-period Bill Evans. Anyone to disagree?

Sometimes you can find the same title with promo white label and no DG and a regular one with DG. So i don’t think DG/no DG is useful to determinate the original “late” Riverside (from around 380 to the end) Here are some records i’ve never seen with a DG : The Trio and Circle Waltz (however they may exist)

Usually, when I keep track for the Price Guide, I try to focus on the original pressings, unless I note it otherwise. — al

Was this one DG or not ? It ‘s very important, since DG riverside of this era are much rarer and far better sounding than no DG.

I was hoping to pick up some of the heavy hitter Blue Note records for a reasonable price.
