I have been blessed to spend my life in a city with a decent jazz radio station with passionate ( if not obsessive) djs who like to include little snipits of info with their selections.

That's been my avenue of discovery for the most part

Dude that’s what I’m talking about. I’m a local member of my jazz station.

They used to play Marian Mcpartland piano jazz where she interviewed jazz folks. I stumbled on the Bill Evan’s one and I was hooked ever since.

Copped

Finally found time for some records!
Look what I found on the shelves..

It sounded a little off, which is odd because it’s a Japanese pressing. But after looking at the label again - I was hella wrong!

Had no idea it was a Spanish pressing. What a nice surprise! Don’t know how I didn’t spot that when I first picked this up a few years ago.

[J-IV]

This one is more my vibe tonight

[GraemeE]

@J-IV would that make this pressed during the Franco era??

[J-IV]

@GraemeE dude good question. According to label it’s 1986 so after. Which is kind of a relief because that dude was an asshole haha

[J-IV]

@GraemeE But can you imagine if Franco was a huge Art Pepper fan? That would make Pepper’s life ever more legendary.

[GraemeE]

@J-IV oh I see it now
Didn't catch the date on the label
I was assuming late 50s Spain.

If Paul Ryan can be a huge Rage Against the Machine fan any level of cognitive dissonance is possible

[J-IV]

@GraemeE Haha good point. Weirder things have happened

Guys, this threat has revived my more than 40y old record collection. Thanks for that! It's now in regular use again and growing. But one thing I've never had a good solution for, even when it was in the few 100s, is sorting. Alphabetical, chronological, by genre?

How do you sort your record collection?

(probably this has been over-discussed many times, still I'm interested in your opinions)

[Tago Mago]

@endo alphabetical first, then by release date per artist

[GraemeE]

@endo alphabetized here as well although at some point I'd like to separate by genre

I go back and forth on what to do with my classical/orchestral music.
Do i alphabetize by composer, conductor or ensemble of performers ?

[endo]

alphabetical by what @Tago-Mago title, artist, band, composer? that's what leads us to classical right @GraemeE how do you do with Jazz?

[GraemeE]

Jazz is typically by performer but that gets complicated when there are multiple heavy hitters on one record ( getz/gilberto, brown/roach etc...)

[GraemeE]

@endo said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

classical

With classical it's hard not to want to file a performance by someone like Glenn Gould under his name as opposed to the composer since his personal approach to playing a peice is so specific/recognizable
