Three used jazz records arrived from Japan. These records are quite expensive, even used ones in the U.S. and Europe, but thankfully you can find the ones in very good condition at reasonable prices in Japanese used record stores. Verve records particularly sound amazing, even though they are old.

My favorite picks from Jon's old vinyl collection, all released between 1968-1977. The Neil Young, Otis Spann, and Ramblin' Jack Elliott records are promos, so they sound especially vivid and great.
May 6, 2025 at 2:12 AM
Another find from Jon's old vinyl collection today: Otis Spann - Sweet Giant Of The Blues (1969, Flying Dutchman / BluesTime). The old record still sounds great.

A package of ten used records arrived today from a Discogs seller in Germany. All of them are my longtime favorites, and some of them are records I've been looking for since I first heard them over 40 years ago, so I'm thrilled to finally have them in my hands again...
