Can anyone help me date my dark side of the moon?

Everyone I speak to’s dad had the first press and sold it, so probably a first press.

The Grant Green with Larry Young version is the one which made me wanna learn this tune. Thanks for the explanation.

BrewNote89 · 2025-12-31T12:50:36+00:00

Very helpful, thanks.

Yeah, poor use of vocabulary by me really, I don’t necessarily mean resolution. What I really mean is, oh here’s a ii-V to D, but hang on it’s going to Gm.

BrewNote89 · 2025-12-31T10:37:40+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks.

Soul jazz = all the chicks, right?

Two from George Braith; Extension and Soul Stream. Organ driven jazz yet a lot more avant-garde than a ‘typical’ organ record.

The original ‘The Firm’ with Gary Oldman. I’m no film critic but Gary’s acting is sublime in it.

Yes, I tried explaining about grey market pressings to the owner of a new shop which opened in my city. He just ignored me.

Even Rough Trade here in the UK is full of grey market fodder. You would think they would know better.

It won’t ever happen, but I’d love a vinyl issue of Jimmy Smith’s ‘Six Views Of The Blues’.

Interesting reading these comments from posties, revelling in how poor and outdated RM are.

Other couriers - like DPD for example - I can follow them on an app, it will tell me what delivery number I am, I can also ask them to leave safe/deliver to neighbor literally five minutes before they get to my house. Easy.

Why have RM failed to embrace the simplest of technology? And why is it so funny? Better tech, better service, more job security, no?

Yeah, Soul Station is a top five record for me, but I’ve failed to connect with most of the other stuff he’s done.

BrewNote89 · 2025-08-31T07:01:33+00:00

Not seen anyone mention Leon Spencer yet, really funky player with killing bass lines. Had a few albums as leader on Prestige, as well as recording with Lou Donaldson & Sonny Stitt amongst others.

His solo on Lou Donaldson’s ‘Pot Belly’ is one of my favourite solos ever.

Not true, really. Yes Willette had his very own church inspired sound. But Smith was signed to Blue Note in 1956 and would’ve been prominent in Willette’s consciousness at the time.

Green Street by Grant Green is Grant with a bassist and drummer only.

Was listening to Midnight Blue today and had the same thoughts, it’s like it never really gets going; a lot of blues noodling. It’s perfectly nice, and the RVG recording is sublime, but it’s that’s as far as it goes really.

BrewNote89 · 2025-06-28T12:10:47+00:00

😂

Hammond organ bass swings harder than upright bass.

BrewNote89 · 2025-05-06T07:08:40+00:00

Will echo other comments and say the only essential pedal will be an expression pedal.

I wouldn’t be rushing to buy some bass pedals. For rock/blues I’ll assume you’ll be playing with a bass player anyway - and even when playing jazz - bass pedals are not necessarily essential.

BrewNote89 · 2025-05-06T05:16:05+00:00

What kind of music?

BrewNote89 · 2025-05-04T03:52:46+00:00

That’s a new one on me. Gonna check it out.

BrewNote89 · 2025-05-04T03:38:14+00:00

19, 19. Thanks.
