Acoustic Sounds 45's Jazz series

The Cannonball Adderly is amazing. Also have the Evans Waltz for Debby...my surfaces are pristine, no noise. I have cleaned them using Record Research fluid and a VPI vacumn...

Sorry for the ingnorance but what is OJC and where do you order these? Many thanks

gary

I have: 1.Ellington's "Dukes big 4"
2.Miles, "Realxin', and Cookin'"
3.Sonny Rollins "saxaphone Collosus"
4.Willie Dixon/Memphis Slim "Willie's Blues"
5.Bill Evans "Waltz for Debby"

I think these disk's sound incredible. I have nenver heard original's, but I do have a 33rpm Acoustic sounds "Waltz for D. and the 45rpm version sounds a lot better to me (twice as good, I don't know........... guess that one is up to you).

I am probably crazy but I like the record changing....... I would like to buy more of these titles (and will) but the price is steep. I figure if I find enough $5 used records it makes up for it though.

Gary,

I believe those O.J.C. are from Fantasy records. They are located in Berkley, California. They put out a large catalog of Vinyl. I'll see if I can find there phone #. I
just found it 510-549-2500.

"OJC" refers to the "Original Jazz Classics" series of reissues that Fantasy records did in the mid to late 1980's. The reissues included several hundred of the best jazz recordings of the 1950's and 1960's, mainly from the Contemporary and Riverside labels. The "OJC" LP's were remastered, decently pressed, and very reasonably priced. I own about 100 of the "OJC" LP's from this series, and there is some great music in the collection. I am, however, not convinced that the 45-rpm series from Acoustic Sounds merits a $50/LP price tag. Before you plunk down $50 for a single LP (45-rpm or not), you might want to do a little research about whether the music on the recording is worth $50 to you.
