awaiting for my VinylMePlease edition of this.

How are those releases? Is it just color vinyl or is there more?

^what a giant of an album!

They are usually color vinyl and numbered editions. In some cases they are exclusive releases to VMP, in the tapscot case they made it sound like that would be the only pressing and it sold out within an hour. And then the other Real Gone pressings popped up. I haven't had a VMP pressing that was horrible, they've had some pressing mistakes which they promptly fix but in general the company has gone down hill as theyve gotten larger though.

pulled this out of a box that was buried for more than 10 years. i remember hearing the RH Factor on the Gilles Peterson show when i was in Finland and i was hooked and had to get this album from the states, which was not easy back in 2003, even for a naive little kid like me, haha! now looking at it, it was totally unusual that artists on Verve got a vinyl release and i believe this was the only thing they have pressed in 2003 from the jazzy point of view in the states. really wonder what Roy Hargrove had to do to convince the label to do it but no matter what, I am really thankful they did. such a sophisticated piece of neo jazz and art in any form and the artist line up is quite impressive. even the super fancy high gloss cover is a class of its own.

this album is really recommended and it should see a repress in my opinion...

Blue Pepper is on my desert island discs shortlist. This LP. Just.... kill me now.

this hit the platter several times in the past few days. i can't tell how much i like it. absolutely motivating, up-cheering positive energy stuff with hints of melancholia. killer album! could not believe to find this on Spotify...

Happy Birthday!!!

Very welcome repress of this arrived yesterday. More on the funk/lounge side of things than some of BBNG’s more straight jazz:

Love it :)

Early birthday present, beautiful '62 mono

Zowie! congrats on that work of art, Tex - and happy B-day!

Anyone followed We Release Jazz' latest releases ? They have 2 new Ryo Fukui releases for pre order, and their previous releases for Boillat Thérace Quintet seem very good to me. I preordered all of them.
