i'll be honest, gst, i don't really hear it. however, in full disclosure, i've never heard the album and also i am so used to dolphy's note-bending nonsense that i think it might be masked by that if it is there. still, i like it!

I too am not familiar with the recording, so for starters I cannot be certain how much distortion I'm hearing is present on the master tape. Over computer speakers, I thought it sounded fine, but through headphones it did sound like there was a slight amount of distortion on the trumpet in the second part of the needle drop (I didn't hear it as much if at all at the end of the clip). Could that song have possibly been the last song on side 1? Bear in mind that--as per usual with online vinyl sellers--this a mono record being played back and recorded in stereo, so the slightest bit of distortion from wear should improve and could perhaps become inaudible when either played with a mono cart or by summing channels. I had a copy of Lou Donaldson's Gravy Train a while back where I could hear the distortion on his sax in stereo but I couldn't in mono, which I think was due to the fact that it was quite subtle. By the way: Musically this sounds like a good record, I haven't heard it before. I've checked out a little Booker Little before. Man, I love his tone, though it's possible that his music is a bit too adventurous for my taste (a couple examples of how far I'm willing to go 'out' are Empyrean Isles and Andrew Hill's Black Fire). I think I'm going to give him and early Eric Dolphy another try though!

I've been looking for a nice original of this for some time now if anyone's looking to sell. I would definitely give Dolphy another try. Also Andrew Hill's Black Fire is killer. One of my favorite Blue Notes.

rich,
i am a huge dolphy fan. nearly all of his records are rare and very pricey, but you simply MUST check out "out there" and "outward bound". great, great stuff!
