Swinging Guitar…on it.

Bethellodge, that’s great to hear. My personal favorite of the Tal LPs is The Swinging Guitar on Verve. It was an original Verve pressing, not originally on Norgran or 10-inch LP, and the tracks are a big longer and there’s a little more stretching out, both by Farlow and Eddie Costa. You can generally find this one for a reasonable price and my advice is to jump on it. The Tal Farlow Album is also fantastic and I’m glad you like it.

Al, I just picked up a Vg++ copy of The Tal Farlow Album, yellow label Norgran, $60 CDN at my local shop. Had not heard of him until I became a JC reader. AND I just happened to have $58 in credit at the store. I turned about 15 records into that one, but 100% worth it in my opinion. Love it. Thanks for turning me on to him.

I have the red cover # 7016. This is a second issue with the 2nd version of the NY label, it is not kakubushi. I had 7015 in a gray-ish pastel colour, with the same pictures. It was a first issue,kakubushi, I sold it one year ago. The second edition of 7015 had a blue cover, believe. I have 7015 and 7016 combined on the 16 RPM Prestige # 2. I also have most of it on 10″. It is not great music, one can do without.
