Bought some cracking LPs last week off ebay, mint condition. Carla Bley - social studies, which is a great LP, no one else bidded, why I don;t know. And some rather smooth jazz, in the form of Joe Sample from the 90s!! It's good though. A few more ECM LPs on the way, must be my fave label at the minute.
ECM is an excellent label; both for recording quality and for the cover artwork.Quote:

Even so, it is now a case of 'once bitten, twice shy'.
Yes totally, but the good thing with ECM and much jazz is that the records or cds mostly look like they've barely been touched!!Quote:

Got my money back, but even so it's CDs only from now on.
First up the album that brought this band to the attention of a wider audience in July 1981 thier fourth studio album and aptly titled 4. Produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Mick Jones sees the album deliver three hit singles, Juke Box Hero, Urgent and the ever popular Waiting For A Girl Like You, whilst album sales went 6 x Platinum in the US and 4 x Platinum in Canada reaching number 1 in the US Bilboard charts, staying there for 10 weeks. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8841e2d62c.jpg
