- I was blown away by the latest tone poet edition of Life Time and had to address it. In addition to a channel update, I compare the Anthony Williams album to my original mono that Blue Note put out in 1964.

If you're new to my channel, what you can expect from me is a vinyl collector's approach to the jazz genre. For years, I've only collected vintage pressings and prioritized originals of Blue Note, Prestige, Savoy, Bethlehem, Riverside, New Jazz, and more classic labels. Lately, with the resurgence of the medium and more collectors coming to the space, the music industry has taken notice and prioritized putting out high quality reissues of some of the best albums ever recorded. Subscribe to my channel to watch me navigate how to rationalize how I used to buy vs. how I buy vinyl records today.

Beautifully done sir! I agree btw, that this is one of RVG's finest recordings. (One thing...if you are hearing the drums in the LEFT channel, your channels are reversed.)
You scared me for a second! My entire life has been a lie! Nope, I just mispoke :)
Ha! good, I figured that might be the case...@@jazzvinylcollector
Well done! I share your review of the remastered TP reissue. Not to everyone‘s taste but to mine. Fully agree to your „bold“ statement that this is one of the best, if not the best sounding TPs. And nearly free of unwanted noise. And: My copy is the most flat TP vinyl pressing I have been spinning since a long time. Unfortunately, too many came warped over the past few years with a lot of hustle for multiple exchanges. Was close to giving up on these RTI-pressed TPs given the price-quality expectations. This one might heal my pains.
Thanks for the in-depth review. I listened and immediately ordered a copy. I had no idea how restrained the music was. Very nice indeed.
Picked this one up right away but always eager to hear your thoughts/comments 👍
Great video, dude! I can't wait for my copy to arrive.
Whilst I mostly buy jazz these days, I agree that Jim White is a great artist. I was lucky enough to see him in Cardiff (Cymru/Wales) years ago.
The UA-camr 45 RPM from Germany just obtained a good mono cartridge and his results were that it makes a huge difference on vintage pressings which were pressed with mono cartridges in mind but no difference or lacking with modern mono pressings which are evidently pressed for stereo cartridges. So since you will be getting a mono cartridge it will be interesting to see how that changes the comparison to the vintage mono version
I can't wait to experience the difference first hand! I'll have to seek out his video to get his reaction.
@@jazzvinylcollector Post 70's mono LP's are cut using Stereo cutter heads so anything cut after that era is cut with a Stereo cutter head. Mono carts are pretty much a waste of money playing back post 70's mono LP's.
@@67Pepper i don’t know if I have any post 70s mono LPs anyway.
@@jazzvinylcollector Then you should get more enjoyment from those Mono LP's
Another fine segment WCB. I found it interesting that you described it as Avant guard. I'd call it Post-bop. Why? Because, in my view, it contains and mixes elements of Bebop, Hard-bop, Modal and yes Free Jazz while not necessarily being any one of these styles. By the way, I immediately grabbed this album and love it. By the way, I'm looking forward to seeing the reveal of your new turntable setup!
This is what makes genre labels so difficult!
Sorry to point this out but you might want to check either your mic or level settings. The past few videos have had the same issues. Otherwise, another great video 👍
Had this on pre-order since February with AMZ & Juno, no copies seem to have been available in the UK AMZ say June! not great service especially after the last Lee Morgan pressing disaster! Not very happy with Blue Note
What Technics TT did you buy?
I didn’t have any technics tables in my consideration set
I know you are looking for a table. I have a Nottingham Space 294 with the heavy kit. I love it!! Purchased in 2010 and still going strong.
Nottingham Analogue.
Keep that mono
