One of my favorite hardbop LPs. Funny thing is I managed to snag a first mono Riverside pressing of this LP but in the later Jazzland Reunion cover! I have been looking for a Modern Touch cover for 2 years!

Well said. It’s also that second or two glimpsing the record and deciding whether to pull it off the shelf. If it doesn’t catch your eye somehow, it doesn’t make it to the turntable.

The CD/ipod thing cancels out the reissue and you should always hang on to the original of “one of our favorite records.” It has nothing to do with ebay value… I tried to figure it out once… something about the time between pulling the record off the shelf and putting the needle down. The magic of a collection is in that half minute.

it just occurred to me there is still aother version of the Jazzland. Some sort of a piano type front, multi colour.

this was my first Golson album. I have only got one copy. I never cared for the re-issue, which never appealed to me.
What a wise decision you took.
