I've got a specific question here, but also interested to know what people are planning to order from the new MM releases. I'm keen to have Joe Henderson's 'Inner Urge' and Wayne Shorter's 'Adam's Apple' in particular.
I'm slightly held back by two things; first, the price, which is getting higher and higher now the pound tanks. Second, some imperfections on a couple of releases I've bought. For the most part I think this has been a fantastic series; 'Maiden Voyage', in particular, is one of the best reissues I own, including Japanese pressings.
The only two glitches in the LPs I've bought are as follows. Wayne Shorter's 'See No Evil' is excellent, for the most part, and I play it a lot. But on 'Infant Eyes' I get a lot of surface noise. I can't really tell if this is tape hiss and noise or if my particular copy has pressing flaws. Does anyone experience the same issue on this track? The other one is 'Poor Eric' on Jackie Mclean's 'Right Now'. Again, it's a very quiet track, and I'm getting a lot of hiss and noise.
Just to reiterate, I have a lot of these LPs and most are superb, so two tracks on a number of LPs is not a bad result. But I would like to qualify if the issue is with the tapes or the pressing.
