Love those fat, flat early Blue Notes! Mine is all scuffed up but plays dead quiet with just a couple of faint clicks here and there. I actually bought a really CLEAN one that was FAR noisier than my copy and ending up selling it! The clean one was a later raised edge deep groove--don't think they were as tough as the fat flat ones!!

Allen and Jack,
You cats are killin me. You guys must have some monster collection. I have 5,000 records but you two just keep on pulling out stuff I've never seen or heard. Now I have to go out and find this album. I'll probably have to settle for a CD, but hey it's about the music. Thanks for the posts. I love Lee.

And the same taste in music. And we built our collections at the same time (1970's and 1980's primarily).But for some reason Jack never collection the Transitions. I've never been able to figure that one out.
And I mever really got into the 10" stuff until it was too late and way too expensive. I just had some bad experiences with 10" records sounding TERRIBLE, so there's a big hole in my collection that I really regret and am rectifying slowing and PAINFULLY ($$$$).
damn. all those fine blue notes in boston that i ignored when i was buyin' up all the 60's and 70's punk i could find in the 70's and 80's. how i regret it. and i've since sold pretty much all of it (much for handsome prices, but still, i'm pissed) so not much to show for it. and i remember a lot of that stuff going for 5 and 10 bucks. live and learn.
Primarily because I didn't run into them that often. When I did, they were always in poor condition.I choose to go the 10 inch route instead. My eyes were on the 10 inch 33's ...
... the early flat edge pressings seem to be a lot tougher.
and still sound great...just like Columbias(Yes, and my name is Quigly T. Jones)!
If I had more money, I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LP's!
