I don't frequent #RecordStores very often anymore but I was in #Martinez today & happened to notice a small record store there.

I browsed thru their 3 small bins of jazz LPs & found the 1984 #MosaicRecords release of the #PortOfHarlemJazzmen which includes the 1st recordings ever produced & released on an album by (the to be named) #BlueNote records founded by Alfred Lion in 1939.

The sound quality on the album isn't great because it's mastered from the acetates used to cut the original 78's during 2 sessions in 1939. If you're into listening to "vintage" jazz music, that's par for the course but the poor sound quality does not detract from listening to #SidneyBechet play a soulful version of #Summertime on the B-side of the LP.

I could have bought a copy off of #Discogs but part of the fun of collecting LPs is going #BinDiving & I consider this a great #LP find!

However, I am now thinking about buying the a Japanese re-issue of the original album for comparison.

Idea:
#Vinyl fans, put a piece of paper in each of your records with your name and the last time you listened to it. Records last for centuries. It will create amazing mazes of ownership and interests. It's also entirely private from corporations.
