The big problem for me with the MM re-issues is that they are 45 rpm… I do not want to get up after every track.

RE:Jim Johnson

I am a subscriber to the Music Matters re-issue series,(as well as other re-issue series)the sound quality is stunning and dead quiet. MM’s puts out a top notch product all around. When it comes to re-issues, just depends on who’s doing it and how. Japanese pressings tend to get a lot of attention, there are good pressings,and bad pressings just like anything else. Best to do some research to find out how the re-issue company goes about the whole process.

When I was young, my parents made me right my name on all my records. They did the same for their records and 78s. My grandma too, she wrote her name in Arabic on all her 78s. I still have some, but they all are in terrible condition. My family didn’t take care of their records very well unfortunately.

I know the case of two students who rented an apartment in Manhattan. They both loved jazz. One of them put his name and a date on each record he bought. The other guy did not mark his records.
The funny thing is that at the end of the day, the guy who did not mark, ended up with whole collection, marked and unmarked.

I was bidding for the City Lights primarily for the cover. I have a first pressing which could use a cover upgrade but is a VG++ or better LP.

I am interested in listeners feedback on the quality of re-issues of Rare LPs like Dexter Gordon Red, Hot and Blue. Tina Brooks True Blue. Jutta Hipp BN1530, At The Hickory House. Hank Mobley. BN1568. Dizzy Reece BN4023. the repops can be had for less than $20.00. are the Japanese re-issues better sounding? they typically cost more. any thoughts? thanks very much.

DJs have to mark their records.. especially if there is more than one DJ playing at a club. They use the same booth, and records get mixed up.

That’s the only possible explanation I can think of.

Sometimes there are records to be seen on ebay, where their owners really write their name everywhere. Multiple times on front and backcover and even three times on the label of the record! I’ve always wondered, what motivates them to do so?
And I’d never understand how can one be attracted more by misprinted or -glued labels? Yes, they are rarer, but they are stupid as well. And same people would never buy promo-records, because they were not the original first pressing, or what? Sometimes record collectors are , err…maniacs?!
