The Smashing Pumpkins, Gish. 2011 Virgin Records WW reissue. Remastered by Bob Ludwig and it sounds really good. Now I need to find my fist pressing UK LP for a comparison. #smashingpumpkins #virginrecords #alternativerock #ortofon #gish

Red Garland, Red Garland’s Piano. I have a few reissues of this phenomenal album by Red, but this evening I took my ‘57 mono first pressing for a spin. Reissues are quiet ‘n loud but ain’t nothin’ like the sound of the OG. #prestigerecords #rvg #redgarland #jazzonvinyl #techdas

Sunao Wada Quartet’s “Coco’s Blues” is an incredible album by guitarist Sunao. The playing is filled with energy, and as expected for a TBM release, it’s perfectly recorded. Japanese first pressing from 1973 on TBM Records. #threeblindmicerecords #sunaowada #japanesejazz #guitarjazz #techdas
